Crazy Devy has listed their second upgrade for G1 Omega Supreme. This time they gave him an upgraded articulated 3 clawed hand. This upgrade is set for release in December.

uhm... ok. looks the same.

Cool, but unnecessary. It's not like Omega has anything to hold in those big grabby hands anyway.

The man can never know what it's like to hug...

Might be okay for $20 but does seem unnecessary.

... His hand already has joints.

@HoityToity

You have the best name! it gives me a laugh whenever i see it.

As for this latest offering for Omega Supreme.......it gets a shoulder shrug and and a 'meh' from me. I just don't care for it really.

I just never understood the point of altering vintage figures beyond repro-labels. So will they make a blue version of their upgrades for the sentinal ??? If yes, how many of you would chop up your $200 Sentinal ???

yea, the hard part is finding the G1 toy, I'm one of the unlucky few whose parents dumped all of his toys!

$120 for the improved (added face) encore reissue seems reasonable.

Aw, why thank you! Glad to be of service :3

Also, for anyone who says the original claw hands already have joints... they do. But I think these new ones have an extra one in the middle of each "finger", thereby giving him 90-degree positioning ability instead of just one solid piece.

Like I said, neat but unnecessary.

Okay, but yeah. Still unnecessary, as you said, Hoity. I like my Omega how he is.

Trying to sort out the confusion as to what you get/what it does... I just talked to CrazyDevy himself. He said this set is three orange claws, with tips that rotate in 90 degrees. (So it can still be posed straight in rocket mode.)

So, not a full hand-claw, but better than I thought. I do like this articulation a lot. Wanted to pass on the word. They're $19.95 on his site plus shipping.
