Collector Club Subscription figure samples

[SuspectimusPrime]

I think they did a really good job colouring the Axor mould, and I'm glad they didn't end up colouring the translucent blue plastic in his head fluro green like in the original media release pics from Botcon. Just incidentally, I had Botcon Turbomaster/Scorch sitting next to me when I opened that link and I'm quite sure they're used the exact same yellow/grey coloured plastic and the same orange paint (pic via Seibertron, but orange paint looks much browner in this pic than real life). However, I don't think any amounts of happy-friendly Autobot colours will make this guy any less menacing

I've also noticed that BBTS dropped their prices (from $55, to $40) for Circuit and Jackpot, so I'm guessing he's not the only AM that's not too popular in the US? BBTS seemed to have purchased a few more subscriptions because Scourge/Slipstream opened up again yesterday but sold out again today.

I think the collector club will end up doing most of their sales through online stores like BBTS, because they will be able to sell off the sets more easily to the majority of fans who don't want all six... and they can just adjust the prices of each figure, like they do with case assortments (bump up the price of the higher demand ones, to offset the low demand ones).

Personally I'm lookin forward to the Slipstream toy they are releasing

Some images of the new (Animated) Jackpot head have been released by the collector club (mirrored here).

I think it looks a lot like Animated Prowl though.

A few minor bits of info just before the cut-off... nothing major though.

Very surprised that TFCC went through the option of re-sculpting Jackpot's head when they could have easily done a straight repaint.

It is odd, I would have thought that using that remould option on Ultra Mammoth would make more sense, although I suppose the Big Convoy head is homaging the Optimus Prime head under G1 Magnus's 'helmet'.

If these had been retail (or at retail prices), I would have picked up Breakdown, Circuit and Slipstream.
