274mm max headroom.

Looks like the slightly shorter Pangu Toys version might be in my future.

 

Newage Hound? Is there a forum topic at all about him? I've only seen an ugly pic before Cyclonus revealed.

 

Newage NA H50 Scott (Hound)

 

Thanks!
I think this time I'll stick with my MS hound  ))

 

I'd say 12 is more than a few and my guess is you won't see a full season 1 cast by NewAge til the end of 2025. Hound, wheeljack, sideswipe, Huffer, Gears, windcharger, sunstreaker, trailbreaker, slag, sludge, swoop and snarl.

Wouldn't be a bad future. Especially now that Pangu Toys announced they'll be releasing a free fixer upper kit for the issues of the figure. (Not confirmed but I'm assuming the kit will include a new head to fix the bad gap under the face, knee caps and an articulated claw).

 

Fixing that face gap would definitely sway me towards it. Like many others though, I'd like to see the final price on NA Michael before making any decisions.

 

forgot about the dinobots, was just thinking about those other 7 since Hound is out in a month or 2

 

I'm just starting to wonder if I'll regret having paid for the Gabriel reissue now. I don't collect legends scale aside from a Prime and Starscream for their character collections, but this is just SO damn good. They could easily upscale this to MP and it would sell well.

 

Still nothing today, quite a long streak from NA with no updates. Hope we are not waiting until TFCON to hear more from NA in general.

I agree that at this point in the year I think the G1 S1 Autobots won't be done until end of the year 2024. Too many left to do for this year and you know NA is going to jump around season to season and throw curveballs (repaints, revisions, etc.) (I'm hoping one of those is a Jazz 2.0).

 

at this point if nothing else, i'd be happy if we just get hound, wheeljack, sideswipe and sunstreaker.  

 

yeah I'm holding off buying jazz for that reason

 

Last year, Cyclonus was revealed before CNY but only shipped in May. Not sure if the delay was because of their Cyclonus new face design, but now Omega is even bigger and harder to produce. Anytime in March or April is already possitive imo.
Anyway, hopefully they will reveal more new characters at TFCon (or please at least H49 and the finished Hound)

 

I'm curious if an EX Omega will be be more, or less metallic and shiny. The pics shown so far look like a good match to the toon AND the toy, to my eye.

 

Many Taobao shops suggest its price at 899 RMB (Devastator was around 1200 RMB).

Bombusbee also revealed its price: $146 plus shipping fee (I guess around $15-20 to the US). Delivery in March or April.

Yeah, no. I have the money, but it's the same MP-44 situation again. Not worth the money, not by a long stretch. My fucking Terrorsaur MP by Metagate was nearly half the money, and you can't even begin to compare them in terms of complexity, engineering and molding.

I'm not feeding those greedy mouths.

 

..... probably will still get it lol

 

That works for me. Seems like a pretty appropriate price to me. And an estimated release date in March? Sweet! Can’t wait to own this bad boy!

 

Thankfully I have credit card cash back points and ShowZ points to bring down the cost.

 

price isn't great, but better than expected, all things considered especially with the pricing creep from NA.  

still won't be rushing to throw down my money for it though, but will prob eventually get this once in hand reviews/comparisons start coming in.

 

Glad I went for Pangu now at half the price. If NA can do a version for that sort of money ($78) I may consider it for alt mode but no way double!
