New Pictures of TFSS 3.0 Tarantulas

I think its orange. Its probably the lighting.

Looks solid.

I'm both happy and kind of surprised that we're still getting BW figures to go with the 2006 set.

This figure has come a long way, I have all the Botcon '06 figures and I'm really excited to add this one to the set. The orange visor is a nice touch! It would still be fun if the green bits could glow in the dark. The thought of the green bits glowing and putting a small light behind the visor puts a cool image in my head.

Why is it with the TFSS figures that all BUT ONE look like crap. I want this guy. I need a Tarantulas!

I compared this will all the previous mockups (three, at LEAST)... and I have to say I think they nailed the deco. Compared with the original toy and the tv model, I think this is the best option possible. Only complaint is that the lime green seems a little light compared with the figure's more muted ochre-yellow-golden-tan-green.

BUT that's a tiny complaint. They might actually be giving a nod to the neon green in the upgraded Transmetal version (?)

Either way, I too have the original Botcon set. This will display GREAT with that lineup. Cheers to the club for filling in a gap. (same with G2 Starscream and other thoughtful choices.)

Paint app.

United Scrapheap, JelZe.

Junkyard's the one who got the "-heap" rename "Junkheap".

It's not too late to (take out a loan) and GET THEM!!!!

looks interesting! I cannot remember the color looks a shade off.

I regret not having 500$ during the TFCC archive sale to get them
