Well Sh!%. Now I might need to look into that. I loved that Prowlastator head. I have yet to buy 3rd party, but that may change my mind....

Even at the 225$ US + shipping price?
Also, that third party kit is gonna be so damn expensive.

- More show-accurate deco
- Brand new headsculpt that contains a retractable visor to switch between both head designs
- Brand new gun weapons for each individual figure, all of which can store on Devastator's back
- Re-engineered arms for Scrapper to give him elbows
- Re-engineered arms for Long Haul to give him proper elbows
- Re-engineered arms for Hook to give him better (and double-jointed) elbows
- Re-engineered arms for Mixmaster to give him better (and double-jointed) elbows
- Re-engineered legs for Scavenger to give him better knees
- Re-engineered legs for Bonecrusher to give him better knees
Stop it already Sabr! I'm already in love with this, the pre order wait makes it even more difficult
Now here is the big question, it is worth the newly revealed 224.99 price tag?
Because to me, it isn't, at all. It's the superior version sure, but 75$ for a bit of paint, a new head, some guns and a better joints is a bit much. And you all know the shipping will be a pain in the ass. If it is anywhere close to that when amiami or hlj comes around to posting their preorders, I will just wait for a discount on the hasbro version and call it a day.

I'm starting to lean in your direction, i.e. retail + add-ons.

I think I'll be OK without the elbow upgrade set for the regular figures but we will see where the price comes in for it.
