Transformers Generations Titan Class Metroplex SDCC Exclusive?

KnightStrike wrote:I hope this isn't a repeat of the FoC Combaticons deal from last year, because if we finally get an amazing Metroplex mold and Hasbro gives us the more affordable retail release as Skittleplex it will be depressing. As expensive as this mold is going to be already I know I will never be able to afford a SDCC version.

They've put a gun (?) on top of it but it still looks silly.

Anyways, can't see the SDCC version being a Metrotitan... Most fans will only buy one version, and you can bet they'll go with whichever one has the classic colorscheme - exclusive or not.

That way, it can just be "Metroplex Bling Version" who appeals to those who like shiny toys, with the retail version being the regular non-shiny beauty of a figure that we've seen pics of all this time.

I think I see a waist swivel (thats a guess though). And to top it off, it has a leg/thigh ratchet swivel. I just hope please have some knee joints.

If this thing has those joints I just said, then that would make it Actually Poposeable.

Just imagine a Two foot Articulated Transformer.

Seriously, we've had these images for a while now, so this is not really surprising.

If he didn't have a waist swivel, he wouldn't be able to pull off his base mode.

I know we have seen these photos for a while now. And you just repeated what I just said about the joints I just didn't want to put my word on it.

And if you look at the abs and the crotch part thats straight. Its not turning from left to right. So I do not see a waist swivel. All ii see is a tiny gap between those parts where there could be a possible left to right swivel.

And my initial concern was that if the knees could bend or it the arms can go straight out like for example:the new Springer figure can do. Can you answer that? And where do you see the waist turning.



And yes, his arm can swivel out, he has knees, his "hip" swivels are on his knees, and he obviously has ratcheting elbows (if he didn't, his elbows would get floppier and floppier as time wears them down).

That's... actually plausible. Wouldn't have thought of the latter.

I'll keep on with the theory that it will be repainted as Metrotitan/powered-up Metroplex, but that is definitely worth considering.

Probably go for like $150.00 instead of $99.99

More like "it would go for $175.00 instead of $125.00".
