What do you want for it?

I don't have any versions of that SERPENT O.R. mold. Its a sweet way to check it out. I always loved Serpentor in GI Joe. Plus I have an idea old GI Commando center I'd display him on.

Transformers fan John Deluna has shared in hand images via his twitter page of Transformers Club's 'mystery figure' Eject and Rewind, which use the Universe Rumble/Frenzy mold. This means the figures are being shipped out and should be reaching you soon.

Still can't decide if I like the mold as the Autobot Tapes. I have the Rumble/Frenzy set but thery don't strike me as Rewindy...

I wish a 3P would make us a little snap on chest with their exact detailing. I think that would help them a lot.

So, they'll ship together? That's good to know. Usually when these notices get made I end up seeing them by Monday or Tuesday. Too bad series 3 of this isn't as good as the first 2 were.

theyre little, have new proper looking heads, and embody enough of the "tape" aspect even if its not the correct tape. theyll look good along side whichever blaster you have (mines device label broadblast).

I can live without these. I use MP Frenzy and Rumble for classics. And when they do an MP Blaster, Ill buy him too just for the cassettes. Im kind of surprised KFC never took a shot at these guys.

Hoping these dudes are in the mail today! It'll complete my classics Autobot tape dudes set:

- Club Rewind and Eject
- KFC Ramhorn and Steeljaw
- WST Blaster

It's FOC laster, But I am more worried about Chromedome, and Tailgate, and...

These guys made perfect sense to be paired together.The club gets points for thinking this one out.

agreed. If we didn't get the pair, so many fans would have been disgruntled... me included

Got my Rewind and Eject yesterday. Kinda sad that TFSS 2.0 is over, no more Transformers coming in the mail each month. Guess I will have to get Arcee and Brainstorm online Thanks again FunPub for the sweet figures.

Agreed!

After all was said and done, there was a LOT of win this year. Some great Generations molds, great characters, fun bonus microns and solid extra figure. I mean heck... we got an extra combining "Wrecker" for the team, three IDW characters, Barricade (whose paint scheme looks amazing in person), an action master, and a fan-favorite beast character who is so odd and wild we'd never get it from Hasbro.

Hats off for a great year! See you in 3.0, FanPub/TFCC!

Got these in yesterday. Another case of the head sculpts being done totally on point. Color schemes are nice in hand as well.

I did forget how un-fun this mold is though. No biggie, I have the United Rumble/Frenzy pack so it was a known factor.

Eject is from Beast Wars: Uprising?!!!



Totally did not see that coming.

Great MEME!!!

So the same mold, but:

- Rewind is from a universe leeching off of Primax 1002.19 Gamma (aka IDW-verse)
- Eject is from Primax 209.0 Gamma (aka Beast Wars Uprising).

How funny. I wonder if the other exists in the universe of the one.

Went to put Eject on the shelf yesterday and noticed two assembly errors. Sigh, gotta send back for an exchange now At least they're easy with that stuff.

Can you detail what was assembled wrong?

What's kinda sad is that this makes Eject not just a fanatic about any old sports, but specifically of gladiatorial combat.

Two of the same tank turret, and two of the same connector that links the shoulder to the torso. In other words, he has a permanently lopsided looking turret and one of the shoulders won't hold in place. They're letting me exchange it and didn't give a fuss about it, still annoying but at least they're making it right.

The Club has been extraordinarily good with replacing things for me over the last couple years.

-Scourge had two left arms, so they sent me a replacement arm.
-One of Rampage's head spikes was snapped off, so they sent me a new head.
-The Transmutate box cover was full of unslighty air bubbles, so they sent me a better condition one.
-One of Stylor's leg connectors was mal-formed, so they sent a second Stylor.

And often times, they'll let you keep the faulty one you have. Really top notch customer service, in my experience (although I am sure others might disagree).

A retool in fact, he has a new head. Here's a little bit of trivia: The Axelerators and Skyscorchers had simpler alternate names in Europe, Windbreaker was simply called "Zap" in the UK. It's those UK names that the Japanese names for the Block Town repaints were based on, in this case "Carzap". Same goes for the G2 Laser Rods.

Oh,ok. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
