With only a month to go till the date, Hasbro introduced a few of their SDCC 2024 Exclusives at present. In a shock transfer, the figures will really be on sale on the present this yr as a substitute of the web solely exclusives we’ve seen previously few years. Click on by means of for some press photographs and response!
First up is a Megatron and Orion Pax set that references considered one of their origin tales as pals. I’ve been shopping for extra Transformers currently than common, however I’m no skilled, so I don’t actually have a lot to say on this one aside from it appears to me {that a} set of the 2 foremost antagonists would in all probability do effectively on a retail shelf so this feels a bit odd to me for SDCC. Be happy to clue me into why I’m incorrect within the feedback under. This set will retail for $74.99 and will probably be on sale for SDCC with restricted provides later on-line.
This Maul and speeder set seems to be like in consists of the Maul from the current Maul/Obi/QGJ three pack simply with a material skirt for sitting. With a probe droid, speeder, binocs and droid management braclet, he comes with a great quantity of stuff, although I’m undecided if I’m feeling prefer it’s $60 value of stuff. Luckily for me I’ve already received a Figuarts model of this, however the Maul portrait is one thing I wouldn’t thoughts having. I’m positive they’ll triple dip on it will definitely with a single card launch. I do have an odd little bit of nostalgia for that Episode I fashion packaging. Bizarre to have nostalgia for stuff I purchased as an grownup, however I suppose that’s par for the course if you’re as previous as I’m.
The identify’s Loss of life’s Head. Heard of me, sure? Now right here’s a man I’ve been wanting perpetually so I’m feeling that combination of pleasure tinged by a bit fear that I received’t be capable to seize him on the present or later on-line by some means. I figured we’d get him ultimately since he was within the 4 inch line from Hasbro, but it surely’s been a very long time in coming. He’ll be $40.00 which appears a bit excessive to me, however he seems to be to be re-using Ronan the Accuser elements, so he’ll be a giant chunky determine. I do actually benefit from the buying and selling card fashion packaging and wish to see that once more. Is there a Rom buying and selling card?
Lastly, my favourite reveal of this group, the “I WAS ONCE A MAN!” Cobra Commander. The G.I. Joe Film and Cobra Commander’s Cobra La origin are controversial story selections within the fandom to say they least, however I’ve quite a lot of love for the pulpy wildness of all of it. The set will include a mid-transformation Commander and likewise a smaller close to ultimate mode which you could have hitch a trip on Roadblock’s again. Apparently the gorgeous bundle illustration will probably be lenticular which explains why this man is a bit pricier than the standard deluxe G.I. Joe determine at $39.99. I actually love the snake texture on the brand new physique elements they added to retro Cobra Commander determine and it’s actually cool to see the within of CC’s face plate. It’s additionally type of fascinating as a result of I had been listening to rumors from dependable sources that the SDCC unique for Categorized was Raptor and the Pulse Con Unique was Starduster. I believe it is a higher unique than Raptor as a result of CC has extra common viewers cache, however after this and the current fancier field artwork for Nemesis Immortal, I’m wondering if Nemesis is definitely the Pulse Con unique.
The opposite fascinating wrinkle to this entire factor is that now we’ve received the return of shopping for Hasbro SDCC exclusives on the present itself. I’m not likely wanting ahead to getting again to that course of as a result of getting Hasbro exclusives on the present could be a actual ache within the butt and it seems to be like we’ve received some form of lottery occurring. Alternatively it’s good to have them in hand simply that a lot sooner. I’m simply hoping they nonetheless make the identical portions to they are going to be simply obtainable on-line to those that need them. My impression of most up-to-date Hasbro Exclusives was that they weren’t terribly troublesome to acquire within the States, much less so for different locales.
Nicely, I’m positively down for 2, CC and Loss of life’s Head, what are you after? Let me know within the feedback!
