What upgrade kit is that?!!

 

Could be cool... need to see pics before I pre-order though.

 

Might they release the Bomber Megs as TW-01B? That'd go well with Orion.

 

Ummm, no, because TW-01B is black Hegemon. There's a picture of it right there in the first post.

It's weird, because black Orion looks so much better than pink Orion, mainly because of the darker chest making it look more cohesive. Black Hegemon however, looks just as naff as grey Hegemon did. Yeah, sorry people, I don't like Hegemon.

 

I wish Hegemon was the same height as Orion.

 

Ooh.... I'll probably be in for this.

 

Oh man, this had better be the deco they use! It would be amazing to do a Gunrobo homage!

 

We already have a thread for this...

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-3rd-party-discussion/983717-toyworld-black-orion.html

 

This is a black Megatron...  

 

That thread was originally titled with both figures names.

 

While I'm 100% in for Black Orion I don't know about Megs. Stealth Megs will also be black and the Hegemon design is starting to look a bit old compared to current stuff. From waist up it looks great but those long lower legs and short upper legs kill it a bit for me.

Hope we see other Megs soon.

 

just wondering, why would this make the original go up in price? Also does this mean no second run of Regular Hegemon?

 

Guess I better sell my hegemon before they release the grey one again...

 

I guess because it means that the second run spot is used up for the black scheme.

People that want a Hegemon will get the black one and those that want the "correct" colors will have to pay more because the chances of a third run (in first run colors) are lower... unless black Hege sells like crazy... but that still would not mean that TF would do a third run in grey when black sold well enough.

 

True but a higher price for the correct color version will not help TW at this point. Just those who still have some stock or are looking to sell their own. TW does not benefit whatsoever from that.

Repaints are just a good way to get more money out of a mold. I think it's that simple really.

 

hegemon has been expensive for probably 3-4 months now, around that $300 range. i sold one for exactly $300 and the bidding started at 50 bucks. i have another im about to put up, i just want to future finish the joints. hegemon wasnt particularly well-made on the first go-round, his cannon arm cant support its own weight.

 

You all are crazy for not realizing this...

All of those "silhouettes" aren't just drawings. The 3rd party has been showing us the final products for years now and we just haven't caught on yet.

FT and Giga already have all of their Dinos ready to go, they are just milking the market and building suspense.

 

It's great that you're doing this for whoever buys your figure. I salute you!
