I had the Japanese version I got before the dubbed version was released. It's an excellent figure, enjoy! I did get FansHobby Archenemy and it's a great figure. They made a trailer for it that I want, but I can't find one. I'm hoping against hope they re-release it.
Same. I want the Fans Hobby Scourge and I don't care for the trailer, but he looks off without the head that comes with said trailer. I'd actually go for both the figure and trailer if the latter is made available again.
@@FoxsDumbSeriesMaker I really think enough people have gotten the figure that a re-release of the trailer would do well. And, like you said, it's not just the trailer, but the accessories including the head and the weapons (the figure itself just comes with a sword).
@@NeilBlumengarten Agreed. Honestly, I think Fans Hobby should sell the alt head and a few other weapons as a cheaper accessory pack, like they do with some of their other figures. That would work for me.
Sometimes you just can't improve upon a great original. The transformation is simple but the end result is badassery for that mold. Great stuff and glad you got it!
Man and you just reviewed the base figure and everything. I can't help but wonder if thats related. Also Where'd you get the art of you watchin TV? Oh no your sound effects got desynched.
Totally unrelated! Jus the universe facilitating. I gotta watch your arcee. If I wasn’t painting my house I would have dropped mine by now. I drew that one. Thought it be a good way to show that much content. What sound fell out? If it’s the rid episode it was jus like that
Wicked review, man. It was hilarious seeing that clip from the show again. Makes me want to watch RID 2001 and the other Transformers anime. I miss when they used to primarily make anime shows. I grew up with that era of Transformers, cheesiness and all. lol This figure is so awesome that I actually want to get it and put it in my Generations display. The new Legacy "Black Convoy" coming out is such a dud when they could have just made a proper Scourge. I'm sure they'll make him eventually ... once Hasbro and Takara get as much use out of the Legacy Optimus mold as they can. >_< Honestly, I really hope Transformers brings this Scourge back into a future show/story. He'll be in the upcoming Rise of the Beasts movie, but that version only seems to resemble the truck form, and even then it's junky as all hell. He might end up being like the G1 moustache Scourge instead, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Thanks so much my dude! Yeh scourge kinda got dumped in favour of nemesis, but his origins are so cool. He’s a real unique character for how much he gets slept on.
@@HamManReviews You're welcome and for sure. If they do him right in Rise of the Beasts, that'll be fantastic. Hopefully he get's a cleaner, less junky looking mode later on; one that has the black, grey, and teal colors that he's known for. ^^
Greart Review! Congratulations on your grail piece. I loved seeing you have fun with the toys, as this is what toys are for. My collection is quite modest compared to yours but I will say I have the Optimus and I do believe he is (low key) one of my favouite figures just because of how well articulated he is and looks great even with his Han Solo sized blaster pistol.
Loved the fig at first sight. I have the korean version(Sonokong) which is basically the US version with japanese stickers. Sadly the chrome on the grill has worn off, and am thinking of trying a Molotow to fix it.
Congrats! I’m super happy for you! I really wish Hasbro did exactly as you suggested and just adds wrist, thigh, and ankle rockers. It woulda made for an amazing new toy, with few of the issues evident in the update.
@@HamManReviews I'm stoked for you.... it's a good job you live far away though! ;) I really wish Hasbro hadn't fucked up with the mould for Legacy. What a piece of junk.
The air comment is pure gold! Subscribed!
Huzzah! Thanks so much my dude I appreciate the support 👍
An amazing figure, one of my absolute favorites.
Oh man me too. This mold is dynamite 🧨

That’s pretty awesome. I love this mold. Figures crossed on the rerelease, now would be a good time for it.

Congrats Ham-Man Reviews!!! I'm super excited for the upcoming Legacy version of Scourge/Black Convoy.
Thanks my dude! I was pretty pleased. I don’t love the new version but I’ll probs still get it. The mold seems to work better.
@@HamManReviews You're welcome. :D
You never know, as they’ve been doing a few toy deco repaints recently, they might do a Legacy one in these colours? I’d get that one for sure
I hope they at some point do a more accurate gen selects one. But Just incase they don’t I’ll probs still try get the velocitron one

Thanks so much my dude. I feel like this mold deserves more credit and the forefather of modern articulation.

So much base, big truck base ❤️

Hey dude! Thanks so much. It was a very satisfying feeling. I never feel like this mold gets the props it deserves.
Loved the fig at first sight. I have the korean version(Sonokong) which is basically the US version with japanese stickers. Sadly the chrome on the grill has worn off, and am thinking of trying a Molotow to fix it.
That’s sucks about the chrome. Jus a sign of a beloved toy. I’m always so nervous about repairs and stuff like that.
Congrats! I’m super happy for you! I really wish Hasbro did exactly as you suggested and just adds wrist, thigh, and ankle rockers. It woulda made for an amazing new toy, with few of the issues evident in the update.
Thanks so much my dude! It just seems odd to be that they went so off script when there was a timeless classic sitting there.
@@HamManReviews I don’t know. It’s a misstep, for sure. Though I did end up buying the thing. I’m a sucker for a Prime.
Excuse me whilst I quietly seethe with jealousy!...
Good on yer, what a figure....
Hahaha seethe away. I was super happy. I’d been on the look out for almost 20 years hahah
@@HamManReviews I'm stoked for you.... it's a good job you live far away though! ;)
I really wish Hasbro hadn't fucked up with the mould for Legacy. What a piece of junk.
Ask this version to do an ankle tilt or a realistic running pose. ;)
Oh it defs can’t do it, but ask the new one to lift his arms over his head haha
Yeah. Still having trouble finding him
By that I mean the new Velocitron Scourge
I didn’t think they’d quite dropped yet. Scourge, cosmos and override are the ones I’ll try get
It would be great but dude in charge of deco didn't 'realize' he was messing up lol
Yeh I saw him talking about that. He knew, you could see him sweating 😥
Yo
Word
Love your reviews!
