Still don't know why Amazon's date was pushed back to February.
It's a pretty big deal for me to have this display... Kinda one of those things I wasn't sure would ever happen.
I'm also really happy I decided to get 3 Sharkticons.
It's not often that I like an alt mode as much as a bot mode, but this figure is definitely an exception.

Yeah they are... What's happened in that shot is Scourge is back in a shadow, so it almost looks like he's darker due to that.
But he really is darker.
The Sweeps are definitely a lighter.

I simply already own three Scourges, not having advance knowledge that there would be a Sweep figure made.

The sweeps are already a lighter (thus paler) shade of blue than Scourge.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:If I may chime in, Scourge's and the Sweeps' colors should have been switched around. Not for looks really, but the principle of Scourge being the original, while the Sweeps are "weaker" paler copies of him.
*sigh* I see a lot of swaps in their future...

A surprise package came for me the other day from Entertainment Earth, it was the two sharkticons I had ordered. I call it a surprise because I missed the shipping notification (I get too many emails) and I wasn't expecting them to arrive for a month or two, like my Wreck-Gar/Sweeps case that also arrived earlier than expected. Anyway. They're a nice set. I'm impressed by the transformation, namely the feet folding onto the back. I wish the robot head could hide better. I stuck them on my movie shelf which is pretty much out of room, and I still don't even have a Quintesson judge to put up there to complete the set. Oof.
