I know my testosterone-fueled self was actually considering a Jem doll until I saw how much they were, so I'm surprised those sold out.

$100 at the show, IIRC.
I'd have loved to pick one up for that price.

Right here.
I had decided to try my luck at getting the SDCC version, but after seeing that gallery, somehow I'm not so fond of it anymore.

Not a bad figure per se, but a general feeling of looseness on the joints (that's what I think he means, at least) can't be good for a combiner.
That back kibble on Brawl is pretty bad, too.

You mean with customer-applied awful-looking stickers and mold-changes that ruin the appearance of the figure. Yeah, can't wait.
I remember when Hasbro-Hate used to be a logical conclusion, now it is just pathetic.
*On-topic*
I was never really drawn to the Comic-Con variants, they seemed a little drab for me. Don't get me wrong, I would have picked them up in a hot second. But honestly, I love the nostalgic feel the G2 variant has. It is just so deliciously over the top.

I remember when you were able to go to a TRU or walmart or target and figured were stocked on the shelves and it wasn't really that hard to find a whole wave. I never had to turn to eBay or any other online retailer to get a figure. I think after the over stock of dotm figures that warm the pegs for so long they don't wanna ship in high volume or something just a thought lol

Saw the comic con version in person at Botcon. Even with darker colors, they still looked a little "plastic-ish" or in other words cheap. They need that metallic finish that Takara has been applying to most of their United line deluxes. And vortex needs to be grey with dark blue limbs and details. Screw the stupid video game.

I wonder if Takara will use the FOC Combaticon toys for their United line? Would be awesome if they did. I'd actually wait for a Takara version if there's a possibility of it.
About Vortex's color; I agree. That pinkish...orangish...whatever, is fugly.

I'm sure they will. They did with all of the WFC toys so I can't see them skipping the FOC toys.

Perfect point and I'm not sure if it was mentioned at all but I'm wondering if Takara will be releasing another set in either G1 colors or current paint apps with metallic finish.

I'm considering the same thing. I've been watching HTS like a hawk with no sign of any of the exclusives. It's actually starting to drive me crazy and I haven't had to deal with the site traffic crashing yet! Has anyone heard when the SDCC exclusives should go up on HTS?

Not yet, I'm surprised they haven't went up already.
