Wow, that's so odd they didn't show them on the club site first. If they're prototype heads, that means the figures aren't ready to ship yet, and are delayed (again). Yay Funpub!
Indeed. I can't believe they wasted a retooled head on Thrustinator instead of just repainting Dirgegun's head in Thrust/Waspinator colours. Imagine the amazing character repaint exclusive you could have come up with if you could tool a head to be anyone you wanted!
Why is Thrustinator's head 1.5 the size of Protoform X's?
I was wondering the same thing, I was expecting them to start releasing them soon but I suppose they wouldn't want to have crossover with either Joecon or Botcon news so they could save the shipping for a time when they have nothing else to talk about. I do expect they will have them shipped across to the states with their botcon figures like they did last year, just to save on shipping. and start shipping them out some time after Botcon.
They had to have something positive to show at the Joe convention since GI Joe has pretty much been dropped by Hasbro this year from what I've heard.
I'm not sure about this but I predict after Botcon.
I'm not sure that they're majorly delayed? can you source this? It's entirely possible that they have them in hand and are just putting off sending them out till after they've opened botcon ticket sales. though I doubt they'd ship them seperately from their Botcon figures.
both figures are deluxes, thrustinator is much older so, probably a bigger toy overall. and the smaller head on the Megatron deluxe will help make the chest look moore massive.
It's odd that they often promote their TFs club stuff at the GIJoe con, because I'm having trouble recalling seeing anything of their GIJoe club being shown off at their BotCons...
Don't really have any sources, but the fact that they can't get stuff shipped out before the next sub run starts is pretty poor form. No longer being a club member, the only time I get involved is to insult them:D ;)
The best source I have is below:p
The link to the Club page in the first post says it should have started in February...
