Now I do like that. Goddam it, got the mold three times already. I wonder if I could paint my spare Magnus instead? :-?

Nah, my painting sucks.

Oh that's nice, though I heard Henkei was getting one with red windows. I may hold out for that one. I'll have to see what transpires

Much better than that nasty looking Shattered Glass repaint. I'll try ti get it unless it sells out before I get the chance.

"Nasty" isn't the word I'd use, unless it's in the positive way. It's a color scheme inspired both by Prime's original color scheme, as well as Galvatron's. But, as I said in an earlier post, this Nemesis Prime will do well as a minion of Megatron (Henkei) in my collection ... Nice packaging too; well-done Hasbro.

Gaaaah...I'm really hoping this guy and the Starscream Titanium are unpopular enough that they get into HasbroToyShop, I want them both badly and don't want to spend tons of cash on Ebay...

Do we have a known price on this?

meh...
without the red windows and with the addition of those dark blueish legs he looks like Blandimus Prime to me.

no Nemisis Prime is better than RiD Scourge.

He'd have been far better if he was all black instead of that dark blue colour, and the two shades of grey they have used on his weapon/cab-top doesnt look too great for me either.

In saying this though I'll probably be able to nab him fairly cheap when he gets a mass release out here.

BLUE WINDOWS!!
that's bullsh@t.
he's no more nemesis prime than magnus is without the red.
f' that. this will be the first fig i haven't gotten from that cc in a few years. i WILL be getting the red windowed version if i'm going to go through the trouble of owning (which i am duh) it.
what a waste. that one might end up like 6" tit menasor did on hts.com for 4 months. and then on clearance at bbts. and then people couldn't give them away.

Re: New Images of SDCC Nemesis Prime (701382)
Posted by kirbenvost on May 15th, 2008 @ 6:03pm CDT

Yeah, I don't like it either. Should've been all black. I'll be looking for the Japanese version too, if it's not too expensive.

Titanium Menasor is on clearance? *runs to see if it's finally in his price range*

Don't you just love how well they transformed him. Hopefully he sells as good as last year's Menasor

Mabye then I could get one

Uninspired. I want the Henkei instead. But I'll probably still get this one. I'm weak.

I really hope this goesu up on HTS, I really want this one.

That does look better than the BOTCON version.

I'm kind of meh on this one, don't know if I'll pick it up or not.

And I call heresy on anyone who doesn't like the Botcon Prime. He is freakin awesome! B-)

Seriously, if you haven't seen it in person it really is a great version.

The decepticon logos on the SDCC Universe release do it for me.

Someone has to have a realistic and accurate estimate on the cost of this figure, whether it's released at HTS or BBTS.

I will definitely get this, although red windows would make it that much better.
I'm diggin't the overall color scheme, and this is one of my very favorite molds.

like the past few years:
hts will charge 24.99 plus ship, and sell sometime around the sdcc, while bbts will charge double that, and maybe add a few bucks here and there.. and that's if you get the first preorder which usually sells out quick.
the other alterative is to preorder it from someone on ebay a month in advance, and usually pay like 40 bucks. i've done this the past two years, but have always had the chance to buy on hts during that time
and nemi/scourge prime is one of my favorite color flavors, and i love the classics mold, but it must have red windows to be complete.. or it's not nemi. all others do.. if not it falls the way of takara armada scourge (which didn't have the beige the armada nemi prime had)
and i'm interested in nemis.. so for me, it'll be ebay or bbts to go the way of that, since it is stated to be a japanese release

Yeah, anybody care to venture a guess at cost?
Also, will the Henkei one be an exclusive or a general release?
I need to know these answers before I find someone going to SDCC to get me one.

I'll get one when available at HTS

Thanks for the info...
I'll want 2 of these, but may have to get one from HTS even if it doesn't have the red windows.

Okay, so, in case anyone missed it I'll ask again:

Do we know if the Japanese release will be an exclusive or a regular release?

Re: New Images of SDCC Nemesis Prime (701565)
Posted by Firebird on May 15th, 2008 @ 11:29pm CDT

I really want to get this figure but the blue windows ruin it for me. I am probably gonna shell out the extra money and get the Japan release with the red windows for a classics RID Scourge.

I'm guessing that the red windows version will be a wonderfest exclusive like the Binaltech Black Convoy was a few years back. But that is just my guess...

So, in other words, I should find a buyer for one of my kidneys, eh?

Love the packaging! Hate the fact there's no red on him. If they we to just give him red windows, it would make a world of difference. I'll be waiting for the Henkei version.

Yeah, me too. BUT, if this sells on HST for $19.99, I may have to bite.

man, i just noticed he only has the decepticon logo on his left shoulder. how asymmetrical, that's really going to bug me, assuming i can get him

Posted by Craven Knight on May 16th, 2008 @ 2:44am CDT

Meh, it's okay - I'm not that keen on the clash of the dark green boot/leg colour with the black upper body, I'll pass on this.

That SDCC Titanium Skywarp on the other hand, I must have it.

what a waste. that one might end up like 6" tit menasor did on hts.com for 4 months. and then on clearance at bbts. and then people couldn't give them away.

Well, if you're going to BE at the CC, consider picking me one up for selling price + shipping?? ;;)

Just a thought...

Although, is the red-windowed version actually coming to fruition anywhere? Any truth behind that rumour yet?

It's going to be a Japanese release.
Likely a Wonderfest exclusive.
So, thusly, pretty expensive.
