Anyone has any idea how big this fella is? And would be the acceptable price range for him?

Size wise he is about the same as a G1 Prime.

Price wise, I'd say about 60 for a MISB Takara version.

from foot to head he is roughly the size of Cybertron or Galaxy force Soundwave. meaning only to the head of scourge and soundwave(soundwave's wings make him like an inch taller).

In comparison with classics prime, he is about half an inch taller when comparing heads, but when comparing the entire figure (scourge's shoulders go kinda high) he's a little less than an inch taller than classics prime

that probably didnt help much, but those were the 2 figures closest for reference that i have

That helped a lot actually size wise... So 60 is an acceptable value? I saw one for a bout 70 bucks not too long ago..

Here ya go buddy, $46 shipped. I've used the seller before. Stuff came in good shape and timely.

If not, send the guy a message. He has been selling these for atleast 6 months atraight. Apparantly he has tons.

Cool.. I probably will.. Thanks for the info

I bought that RID Scourge, lost the trailor, and stickers did'nt
last too long after playing with it (I was eight). Instead, I could have bought with my $30 a reissue Jazz, or Bluestreak! I seriously regret that! I could of had Jazz or Bluestreak standing beside my PM Prime, along with Encore Megatron, and Soundwave! I like to keep all G1 toys together on a shelf with their packaging.
I kept all papers, including the used up sticker sheet, when I got Megatron! I'm also keeping a round of his plastic bullets untouched ( I don't know why, but it's fun to shoot them!)

Yeah, I'm not sure what he was getting at there.

What's Scourge's articulation like? Lets say compared to Classics Prime..

There's like 3 or 4 different things going on in there.....not many of which deal with RID Scourge. I thought maybe I was the only one getting confused.....

I got the takara version from ebay about 2 mos ago, for $38. Shipping was about $10 more. There wasn't just 1 either, because there were quite a few auctions to choose from. I just picked the one closest to my address.


Edit: Actually ... I'm wrong. $32, and $14 shipping. Here's the link. Hopefully it works for ya.

It's not really a fair comparison.

RID Scourge has shoulder, elbow and knee articulation. Not that it matters much, since his base is jam packed full of gimmicks and weapons. Just don't expect the air powered missiles to shoot to well if the rubber tube has been kept bent.

Agreed. The articulation is really a moot point as this is a G2, 13 year old mold brought back to life in 2002 for R.I.D. Obviously articulation is nowhere near Classics.

But its the figure itself that's cool. The black and chrome is just too cool, and its leagues better than its original Prime scheme, and the Optimus Prime lettering in the faux chest windows.

As has been said who goes around with their name plastered on their chest.

Still one of the coolest molds, with the coolest paint scheme out there, even if articulation isn't up to par with current figures.
