This guy looks more like a pony with horn on it's nose then a rhino to me.

That's awesome that Funko was able to remold a My Little Pony mold for Rhinox.

Exactly my thoughts too. Even the pose is MLP.

Could've at least change to a front-facing, charging pose... It's what we've seen in every trailers so far!

Why did they have to go and call Burning Convoy a Kingdom figure? Now my WFC collection is no longer complete! :BANG_HEAD:

Hopefully it turns up on Pulse or someone like BBTS gets a few in...

My Little Rhinox is kinda cute. :lol:

There was already a knockoff Nemesis Prime that's been out for years, looks better/built better IMO, and only $13, so...

A K.O will never have the same worth as an original in a collection.

Does anyone know if Walmart started putting out their ROTB exclusives yet?

I bought it. Instant regret. He was so loose, he couldn't stand up with his legs bending at the knee, falling tonthe side and hips so loose. Pieces about fell off. Looked good in box. Super glue couldn't help.

That's just the hosted reseller syndrome.
Walmart and Amazon does the same.

But I wonder...

WHO BUY FROM THESE OVERPRICED LISTINGS?

True. After seeing they made the stranger things Eddie funky, target exclusive that went for over $100, I was tempted just in case. I know better but still... lol

Grandparents, people that can't be bothered to shop around, and people with more money than sense. What really kills me is when I see something listed by TFSource and I know it's cheaper on their site.

I see people brag about it on Facebook, that they make enough that they don't have to worry about paying extra. They don't realize that paying those prices just encourages more scalping.

Sorry to hear that. My copy was perfect though, the plastic felt more solid than the OG. The legs are actually tight and pegs into the tabs, unlike the original version. The only loose part was the gun really didn't peg into the trailer hitch hole, the hole was bigger than the OG's.

Like TOO MUCH ENERGON! on Facebook · by **TOO MUCH ENERGON!** » Thu May 18, 2023 11:10 am

Hopefully we get a redeco of Legacy Leo Prime as Flash Lio Convoy.

Thanks. I'm glad his weapon was at least right so I could reuse it. But he looks good when I get him standing upright lol

Sometimes good KOs get KO versions of them made so it's hard to tell what are the good/bad versions of them on the market. The one I have uses screws instead of pins in the knees so maybe you can tighten yours up a bit with a screwdriver. Oh and the weapon on my copy fits into the hands fine, it just doesn't go into the trailer hitch in alt mode.

by **Stormshot_Prime** » Thu May 18, 2023 12:55 pm

Damn! I knew I'd never be getting the Masterpiece version of Burning Primal, but knowing I probably can't get this version kinda blows. Despite that garish color scheme, there's just something about that gold and red that I need. I really hope Hasbro and co use the Primal mold a few more times, it's really solid.

Oh man that Nemesis Prime is very cool. Might finally make use of the fact that I've got some friends living out in Japan...

What's funny is that Funko Pop collectors probably wonder the same about us!

Funko Pops are far from dead. Most geek stores have at least 1/4 of their store space dedicated to those damn things.

Back when we had a local ThinkGeek store, half the store was dedicated to the damn things. I never actually saw anyone buy one whenever I was there.

Again, I have never understood the appeal.
