Neat! I've had his minicons for a while now, awaiting their master.

Can you remind me what the micron's name is? I may have to pick him up now...

The Cobra one that forms the top of the staff is Gob. I'm not sure who the other one is.

BTW, in the comic, SerpentOR use the pink coloration of the pair. They were on Ebay for like $4 a piece. May have gone up now due to TFSS raising demand.

Gob and Zad. Specifically the pink versions, Gob 2 and Zad 2.

I'm just curious, is the midsection of the staff included with one of these microns? The pictures on eBay don't exactly show too much :p

Agabyss has the two Microns for cheap on ebay: Gob 2 and Zad 2.

The tail of each of them goes in one side of the hand to make them appear as a solid piece when held by the figure. There isn't a real midsection to it if it's created to appear how Burcham drew it in the comic.

Thanks! Totally ordered. $7.90 shipped for the 2 microns aint bad at all!

Yeah, that's the great thing about Arms Microns - There were the official combinations, but you could come up with so many great fan modes in addition to those ones.

The very first promo shots were digital mock-ups using, well, the very first images of Takara Tomy's Ratbat. If you remember, those images of Ratbat had him with extra metallic as well.

We believe you. I will be posting a news post soon. Can you let us know if from now on your would rather not spoil the figures or is it first come first spoil? Let us know how we should handle news posting from now on, regarding these.

I'm okay with announcing which figure has just been released. *editing for clarification* The real spoiler (for me, at least) has always been that any figure gets released. It's frustrating to not know when to expect a new figure, especially when the first payment for the subscription is due around 6 months (at least) before I even receive the first figure.

My personal opinion is that no one would make an issue of this one way or another, but Fun Pub asked folks not to "spoil the surprise" somehow imagining that enough people on the Information Superhighway would listen to that request that the "surprise" might actually be kept.

As it is, it just causes anger and headaches for those of us who actually use the message boards more than just a little bit. Either we bend over backwards to try to respect Fun Pub's request (and many do), or half the members of the boards are yelling at those who posted the name or the image (often done innocently) as being "rude" or ignorant. All of this could be avoided if Fun Pub wouldn't insist on the surprise factor, and very few would ever have cared....
