Leaked and Promo 2015 Collector Club toy images

[griffin]

Since these are all grouped together at the source, this has to be a new topic... so here are some more images of some of the completed FunPub toys for this year, from the factory it seems, and showing us both modes.

Membership toy - Lio Convoy
Store exclusive - Nova Prime
Subscription toy - Nacelle
Subscription toy - Gen2 Starscream

Subscription Tarantulas has appeared as well.

Nova Prime looks decent, but too short and not bulky enough. Hopefully we see a bigger one sometime. I should really get Orion Pax (and Hoist, still haven't tracked him down).

That Tarantulus looks great. Maybe it's just the shiny, but I'm loving the colour choice.

I'm going to try to put together a classics-verse G2 collection, so that Starscream is a perfect fit. Going to have to go back and track a few figures down.

Store exclusive - Nova Prime

Me too. How do I order Nova Prime?

EDIT: Found the answer in Post #16 of the "Nova Prime - 2015 Collectors Club exclusive figure" thread.

Unlike the Subscription toys, the Club Store exclusives are not made to order... so they get a set amount produced and then sell them on their website to members only.

While on the topic of Collector Club toys - at the GIJoe convention happening this weekend, the "trading cards/autograph cards" being sold at the event have a couple more possible crossover toys to go with Marissa.

One card has Marissa/Afterburner, while another card has "Old Snake" (from the Original Series cartoon), and a third card has a Battle Android Trooper (BAT) done from the TFPrime Soundwave mould.
Since Pete had noted in a previous Podcast that more figures like Marissa were already happening regardless of how well Marissa does, I think we are likely to see the Old Snake as a toy for the Transformers Club... but as for the BAT, that one might end up being a GIJoe Club toy.

With Serpentor and Marissa toys already from FunPub for the Transformers Club, and the theory that two of the BotCon toys this year have GIJoe homages... perhaps FunPub are already in the process of merging the two clubs to help prop up the shrinking GIJoe club & convention.
The annoying thing for members of either club is having toys released in the other club that are note easy to obtain without being a member.

so the repainted TF figure as a GI Joe Character is only available through the GI Joe club, and the repainted GI Joe vehicle as a TF character is only available through the TF Club.
Putting it that way it does make sense, but knowing how some TF completists are, that could be a bit frustrating for them.

Marissa and Old Snake look great though! I hope they do more TF human characters out of GI Joe figures. I'd like to see Raoul and Carly.

From twitter comes a couple of promo images of the Subscription Carzap and Kreo Blackrock set.

It was also noted by email last week that the first Subscription figure will be posted out in the next week or two, along with the 2015 Membership toy of LioConvoy (which should be posted together as only members can get the Subscription toys).
