I won't be picking up Runamuck or Runabout, but if that t-shirt is a reasonable price, I'll snag it along with Drift. Very cool.

Credit cards at the ready...

I like that shirt - a good homage to the first time they appeared in the comic.

They should have an additional slot in Runabout's box for Runamuck, considering anyone who buys one is going to have Runamuck as well. Seems silly for one to come in a nice ornate box and the other to come in a baggie.

I can't wait for Runamuck and Runabout! I'm going to pre-order Runamuck for sure. TFCC said that Runabout should be sent out WAY sooner than last years figure. YAY!>

so how does this work? Do I need to stay in front of the computer next week in order to snag one of these?

Looking good!

Helps quell some of the nerd rage over the TF:Prime debacle.

Just like Runamuck, this figure looks outstanding.

Wait... Are you a member in the 1st place, if you are, runmuck's comming free anyways. If you are not, you might want to consider joining to get member rates for drift. Member's price should be $60, but non-members would be $100+? i believe... And the member costs only $40 :lol:

...and the date is?... I don't understand why we can't be given hard dates and times for on-sale items, registration, etc. They've been doing this dance for years now, you would think they'd want to stop looking like amateurs eventually. It certainly makes it hard for me to keep defending them and I love what they do. At this point, it isn't simple frustration.

The red windows are slick. Thumbs up on that. I do look forward to getting the exclusives. Pissed at the inept fashion this stuff is handled still. We're 8 years down the road for crying out loud!

Well, I'm pretty sure they do that on purpose. If they say "next week" you'll check in all the time. If they say "next thursday at 3" you only have to check in once. But I agree, its annoying.

They both look awesome. I can't wait. I love the shirt too, or at least the image on the shirt. Re-drawn first cover with their new designs, that's awesome.

Couple of quick updates on the TFCC 2012 exclusive Runabout from the TFCC twitter account. First we can expect another reveal later today. Second the figure will NOT be called Runabout. That name was unavailable so they have renamed the figure Over-Run. Stay tuned for the figure's full reveal!

"Runabout" reveal TODAY but before that want 2 give every1 a heads up. On the package he will NOT b called Runabout. Name was NOT available.


From a product standpoint we had to go with the name "Over-Run"... We could have searched out other names CLOSER to Runabout BUT thatwould have delayed us getting this guy to you all SOONER rather than later. Just all the way the schedule worked out.

Kind of Irked, but whatever. Maybe Reprolabels can make a sticker to replace the name as it appears on the box?

Meh, fine, what else is new with the TF names licensing issues. I think they made the right call in terms of getting him out in a timely fashion, because yeah, Repro will have the stickers for it.

I don't care if they call him "poopface" on the box, I still consider him Runabout... Major props to TFCC for choosing to get the figure to us sooner than later!

I'd have called him Runaboot. Make them Glaswegians. Fits with the characters.
