I believe he is just sporting Stepper's Nightstick for the photos. I don't think he comes with two... I hope I'm wrong. Does look outstanding.

You're wrong Like the Microns Spoilsport and Recoil before, Nightstick has his colors inverted from Nebulon:



Speaking of inverting colors, same thing with Sparks and Firebolt.

And it looks the mold is all Inferno except for the crane. I'll have to check if the crane has been retooled.

Trust me, there is not much to know about him, period as he only appeared in the Headmasters manga.

WolfDawg wrote:Obviously I'm in the minority here, but I can't, for the life of me, see the hype over this guy. The character seems to be minor, the paint scheme looks crappy, and the price is comparable to Botcon Pyro (a much better use of the mold as an exclusive anyway).

Really, what's so special about Inferno with a few touches of white added to him?

gothsaurus wrote:Yeah, pick up the Asia exclusive Hot Spot rather than trying to repaint this guy. Heh.

Blurrz wrote:I like how the blue accentuates his features. I find the joy over two Targetmasters as a huge baffle..Albeit it's a G1 homage, it's another Nightstick. Pinpoint isn't the greatest PCC micron either. Having two targetmasters leaves Artfire's powered up alternate mode as looking rather horrendous. Artfire's meant to be a sniper... if a Micron was made to enhance Nightstick then that would be cool, but Artfire ain't much of a sniper if he has a rifle and a double barreled pistol.

Although that Targetmaster picture is tres bon.

Like the previous Million Publishing exclusives, the quantity of figures are made to match the number of orders.

zodconvoy wrote: Ah, the manga. I know more than most about the Japanese series' and characters but those manga and magazine only characters are just a huge black hole! I think the only manga I ever read is Kiss Players and even that was just random pages with no real order. I deleted it from my hard drive afterwards!

You're really only paying for the exclusivity of the item. Lets not pretend otherwise.

Ask the casual fan who Artfire was and they'll stare at you blankly.

But i won't be paying $150. I could leave it in the box and eBay it 5 years later for $1000, who knows, I just might.

Not in this instance.

It's an "exclusive" figure. You've obviously missed the whole point of what I meant. If that fails, read my post again.

Here you are paying $50 for a Japanese voyager sized figure, plus $15 or so for them to purchase the book, and then the rest of the cost is having someone in Japan order the figure. These must be delivered to a Japanese address. Then the figure is shipped to the US. That's the cost of the figure.
Not an ounce of chrome on this puppy like Henkei's. So the figure you really want to compare it to is this one:

$30 for figure + $15 for book. $105 to order a figure? That's not ripping people off, nooooo.... because it's really difficult for them to mass produce it. Oh, wait, then you've got to pay to have it shipped to your US address. You're on to a winner!

Ask the casual fan who Artfire was and they'll stare at you blankly.

So what?
There's "casual" fans out there who still think that anything after the 86' movie is considered to be G2.
Forgive me, my mind was blown by Artfire's awesomeness, I completely forgot who he was. Apparently, he has this affect on a lot of people...

But i won't be paying $150. I could leave it in the box and eBay it 5 years later for $1000, who knows, I just might.

A 600% increase on a 5 year investment would make my bond purchases look outright stupid...

Henkei Wildrider, I'll sell it to you for $600 with free shipping! Not quite 600% but 200% isn't chump change either can your Bonds do that?
