ROTF Deluxe action figures - wave 6

ROTF Deluxe acton figures - wave 6.

Deluxe Class Wave 6: (SGD 27.90 each)

 From left - Swerve, Stalker Scorponok & Arcee

——–

A lot of collectors have been wondering when is this next wave of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen (ROTF) Deluxe action figures arriving on our shore.  Well they have finally appeared at many local departmental stores this week!

Swerve is a repaint of ROTF Deluxe Sideswipe (silver) but with a new head.  I still prefer this mold to be in silver color.  Swerve is said to be made in tribute to Sideswipe’s classic red color. 

Stalker Scorponok is a repaint of Scorponok (sandy color) from Transformers The Movie (TFTM).  The mold looks exactly the same as the previous one.  If you already have TFTM Scorponok, you can skip this black version, unless you think that black color is more realistic for a scorpion, and to match better with ROTF Voyager Grindor. 

Arcee is in a new mold, different from the TFTM version.  Her robot mode reminds of a real seahorse or the seapony from the G1 My Little Pony toyline!  I definitely prefer the seahorse and seapony over ROTF Arcee, but other collectors might like her as she is.

By now, I don’t find new sightings of the latest ROTF toys exciting anymore.  Perhaps the ROTF craze is slowing wearing off me.  The ‘poison’ in me has finally dissipated, which is a great feeling to have!  If you are still completing your ROTF movie cast toy collection, then happy waiting to you, LOL!

    Same with Desmond there, I’ve only gotten Deluxe Arcee here. Stalker Scorponok is a repaint, so I am not too bothered. Swerve is too plasticky. I’ve reviewed them on my blog for your reference hee.

    I might get the Scorponok, I like the black color (I got 2 TokyoPop Transformers Energon Animanga books yesterday and there’s a character there called Scorpinok, hehe).

    Still excited to get wave 5 of ROTF Legends Class and in the process of completing the TFTM Legends (still hunting for the Bumblebee vs. Scorponok). :)

    Hi deSMOnd,

    I think Arcee will be the popular one in this Deluxe wave :)

    Hi Stephenus,

    Aiyo, the link you provided did not lead to your blog, no wonder I couldn’t access it initially despite refreshing the page. You omitted the word “guy” and used “,com”, LOL! Luckily I remembered your blog url. I edited the link for you already :P

    Btw, where did you get the Legends Skids and Sideways? I haven’t seen them on sale here yet.

    Hi Bany,

    Black is a nice color for a scorpion, though I still prefer the sandy colored version from the TFTM. That one made a greater impression on me as he had longer scenes during the movie :D

    Hey Juliana.. oops my bad my bad.. hahaha must be too late at night and i was drowsy already..

    I got the Legends from OG People’s Park. They usually call me when stuff are in. I’ll give you a heads up too next time.

    Hi Stephen,

    Cool, thanks for the info! :)

    Only one I have there is Swerve, and Swerve is a nice repaint of Sideswipe, and a good chance for the peeps who initially missed out on Sideswipe, thanks to the scalpers.

    Though he was named Swerve, he evokes G1 Sideswipe to me. Sweetness!

    Hi Nicolai,

    Swerve’s getting quite common here now. Even though Sideswipe was re-released in recent revision waves, he still sells out quite quickly :)
