why'd that get canned when there were a couple other mechs in the line? (or was it planned later release thing?)

It was a later release thing...most of it was going to utilize the Pulverizer tooling, possibly with just a new arm, but it was slated for the Robot Rebellion line, which never came to fruition.

dang! I really dug the Pulverizer too, a few variations would've been nice.

Yup diggin the Claw Mech.

Unless it's another red herring.

Anyone else really, really wish they had been able to release Robot Rebellion at retail? Between that claw mech, the S6-styled Cobra Commander, and the promise of sky bats, the line looks like it would have been awesome.

I'm glad GJCC is releasing the RR stuff...at prices exponentially higher than what we would have paid at retail, but at least we're seeing it.

ditto

if the mech is somehow availible at the convention, I'm gonna have to buy one. I can skip all the figures since they're all old style RAH but unreleased stuff from RR series would be awesome to have.

You're coming? Good!

I'm sure the Mech'd be an extra at the Con. It's possible it's the free item, but I doubt it. We usually don't get clues to that anyway.

Probably unlike the majority of people here, I'm a really big fan of the Headhunters. I really like all the original figures except for the green Headhunter en the brown Headman. The old Gristle screamed for a repaint indeed, but this ain't the one. If that green was more Night Viper, it'd be ok. If it had the Stormtrooper of Headhunters colours it'd be perfect.
I'm not sure wether I'd like to see repaints of Stormtroopers or Headhunters, but if they are the same quality like they re-did the Iron Grenadiers it's no problem for me!
For the Joes, I'd rather see at least a Shockwave instead of Snakey................

And that logo is awesome! 8-O

somehow they would have had to dumb down the skybat with a bad gimmick or action feature. might not be bad if they could slip some designs into the 25th line...
