I was browsing BigBadToyStore and came across this:

It's Minverva in her US/Muzzle (Nightbeat's headmaster) colors.

That's an... impressive price O.o

Yep, I won't be getting one (didn't get the original either), but I figured it would be newsworthy so I posted about it.

It still looks cool though, and brings back memories of when I was a kid as Nightbeat was one of only a few Headmasters I had as a kid (basically just him, Scorponok and Mindwipe).

My wallet just thanked me for not buying into these.

I need to quit looking at the pics of it because the more I see it, the more I like it. I'm almost tempted to get one even though I just said that I wouldn't. Something about the G1/US style color scheme and all just really works for this figure, even more than the original deco in my opinion.

Oh, that's also the only way to get the HiQ head? Damn, there's no way I'll be able to buy this any time soon.

What quantities to Wonderfest exclusives usually get made in, and how likely is this to show up on any secondary market?

Am I the only one who sees this pic, and wants Furman to somehow work this into Regeneration One, perhaps as a flashback to Nightbeat, Siren, and Hosehead's origins? Wouldn't be a stranger thing to do to Nightbeat's head than what happened in regular IDW continuity.
