This is a good idea. Please expand to regular retail figures for one-stop shopping.

What the heck? Unless they can drop the figure prices, who could afford to do this? Man, I really wanted an RTS RiD Scourge.

Now I have to look for someone who can help me get one.

Scourge, Slipstream, and those seemingly random Action Masters seems interesting. Maybe I'll sign up and sell any that I don't want on eBay. Or maybe just to users on these forums that really want them.

Ultra Mammoth for the Lulz!

If I do sell the figures here, I won't do it for crazy jacked up prices like on eBay. I'll probably just take the price of the subscription and divide it by the total amount of figures released (i.e. if Subscription were $500, and there were six figures, I'd sell each for $84).

Just to let you guys know.

Son of a....

Man, I really want all of these figures. And just when I thought I'd be fine with a complete Animated collection they drop two more.. damn.

Well, that's a good thing I believe. More of an adult TF collector club. I would suppose they are trying to compete for our monies now.

Breakdonw, Slipstream, Animated Jackpot, and SCourge are all nice.

Ultra Mammoth, Circuit, not so much. Don't like the Axor head, and well, Big Convoy is a good mold, but not my collection cup of tea.

Oh wait, Circuit uses Movie not Animated Lockdown, Nevermind, he can gtfo. And he probably will be.... like Airazor/Astrotrain quality and never get sold, lulz.

I actually think Ultra Mammoth is a hilariously awesome idea. I just don't collect Beasties.

Jackpot, Slipstream (

), Scourge and Ultra Mammoth! Sign me up!

Urgh, that Slipstream just does not cut it. It has no bustiness... just coz its slender and seems to have heels doesn't make it a worthy mould for Slipstream. Just looks... wrong

.
I hope we eventually do get a new mould for her, because that mould is PRIME Starscream, and thats it.

Of that bunch, Slipstream definitely might be worth checking out.

And "Ultra Mammoth"---that is so wonderfully cheeseball I don't know if I can resist.

Other than those two, though, pass.
