i can't help but compare this to the evasion mode prime upgrade and how Fking awesome it looks for the same price as HR set 1 and it makes a completley new toy/character , were as this is small simple add-on parts.
I don't see were the money is in this set tbh by the end of 5 sets . Sure the forearms and pincers look great and the neck piece helps a whole lot and i get that's the selling pint for most but to put scorpion legs and whatever else in 4 other sets is a waist .
They should have came back with a bang had a full set ready for 45-50

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Think this is clearly not a G-1 Update toy. So spending hundeds of 3rd party dollars to make this toy more G-1, Is something I don't want to do. Rather take that hundred or two and just put it towards a PE or MT Scorponok 3rd party toy.

Nobody has the new neck mount in hand to know that yet.
I have Botcon Scorponok, Dark Scorponok, and Botcon Doublepunch and heres what I do know:
* The funpub neck mount appears to fit into the mold in the same fashion as the original neck piece.
* The figure has plenty of screws leading me to believe you can disassemble the figure and swap neck mounts with ease.
* Rather than having to paint your new purple neck mount to match the original figure, you might want to wait it out. Headrobots is known for milking their molds with repaints and slight retools as they did with Hardhead/Butcher/Stronghold/Centurion.
*This upgrade kit was announced over two years ago for Dark Scorponok on a fan vote. The fans didn't like the $150 price so it didn't go into production. The original prototype pictures showed a more articulated Headmaster. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the sets 2-5 comes with this headmaster. I also wouldn't be surprised if it is retooled with a Black Zarak head down the line. Or seeing how it already existed, a G1 Scorponok head would actually be the retool. This could be repainted in the original figures colors which would be an easy sell to budget oriented collectors. Why wouldn't they ?

Edit - go look at the first post on this thread for details.
true. but so is the figure this goes to. to give him the neck he so sorely needs, why cheap out now?rpetras wrote:WAAAAAYYYYY too expensive for what it is.

Waiting on Felisaber to land before I ship my loot. I can always reply once I have it in hand.

Rather buy a 3rd party new toy for Scorponok similar to what ToyWorld did for Fort Max. That is Leader class and cost around $114.
Hoping Toyworld Does a Scorponok city bot in scale with their Fort Max toy.

i dunno why im coming to his aid (cause i was confused too and was ready to jump) BUT i think what he means is a new 3P scorponok relative to the size of the energon/botcon scorpies, and assuming the price would be in the 115 range.megatronus wrote:I'm really trying to figure out where your prices come from.
