BotCon 2011.

Yep. Met her. She smiled and signed stuff. Like everyone else.

Also, do we have any idea of what the other figures are for this year, besides the set? Is Armada Tidal Wave the 3 piece troop builder, or is that just conjecture, considering that's the mold they used for the Pirate ship? What about the attendee exclusive and the custom class figure?

Then you'll be surprised to know the neck piece is all new, and the Headmaster itself is retooled from Encore Cerebros/Spike from Fortress Maximus, representing Olin Zarak, Lord Zarak's son

Yep, confirmed on Twitter that it includes the chest guns. Hopefully they stay on this one better than 2010 Doublepunch.

I'm sure a third party will do a Zarak head that rotates.

...Or several companies just straight up doing their own Scorponoks.

Yes, because that mold and only that mold was made available again via Takara's Encore release of Fort Max.

I thought the club said the neck does swivel, and it looks like piece is in two parts.
