According to the new Figure-Oh Magazine, Encore Omega Supreme will include a new face! This doesn't come as much of a surprise, as alot of the more recent Encore figures have come with a face or head sculpt alteration. No pictures just yet, but you can be sure as soon as they surface Seiberton.com will keep you posted.

Another note of interest from Figure-Oh Magazine is that Trans Scanning Convoy and Bumblebee will come with a G1 style catalog of Movie figures.

Omega's one of the Encores I've bene thinkign about Pre-ordering, but with this news, I think I'll wait now.

I wonder if it's going to be just something to stick on the clear shield like Ratchet and Ironhide or if they are going to add something new. I'd bet on somthing similar to Ironhide and Ratchet.

That is cool, if they can make it look like the recent statues face it is quite worth it.

I like how they have been changing these just enough so that you can tell the difference between them and an original item.

Correction.

Encore Omega Supreme will have a face.

Thinking about it, it was just a screen before.

BTW for those not sure, it is a RESCULPTED face according to TFW's translation of the magazine.

I find that to be incredible news, and really I can't see how they would do it otherwise unless it was a sticker, or something. :???:

It'd be interestign to see what Encore has in store of Omega. If they do have a face, then it'll make the reprolabels mod useless

Score. Now my Encore Omega Supreme pre-order is 125% worth it.

I wonder how it's going to work. It's not like his head is hidden. It's the back of the turret. Ever time it turns around, you'll see his face there. Maybe they'll have some kind of shield that covers up his face when in tank mode. I've already had mine pre-ordered ever since it was announced so this just makes me more excited for him.

This is awesome news. That was always a complaint with some collectors. Just as long as the head sculpt fits with the G1 show. Here's hoping!

I was really hoping for something like this, like they did on Ironhide and Ratchet! Thank you Takara Tomy, I'm glad I've pre-ordered on the first day they placed it on HobbyLink Japan

Might as well buy 2 :grin:

. Now I can't wait for it!
