They kind of looked articulated in some of the photos, but I remember Ash saying that they weren't we this figure was first shown.

They have a full range of articulation

The prototype at SDCC was a 3D printed unarticulated sculpt, similar to the Spider-bot prototypes when that design debuted

Are you talking about the hands or the whole figure?

Ohhh I was talking the figure. The hands are not articulated

I don't agree with the different pricing and what to 3aa get that justifies the $260. Especially with the Euro=Dollar (I know 3a has no control over that) but these are priced waaay to high. But I'm in a minority it seems and don't want to drag anyone down so best of luck guys, enjoy.

Well... I'm on board for a Suicide Rose for the chance at an AW sketch!

The hands seem to be the Master 5 robo-hands. I hated the articulated hands on the old EDOs, so seems like an improvement to me. You could literally just unplug the fingers on those.

No purchase for me for this figure. I just wish that for this new generation of TK, Star Wars heads do not become the rule. In the contrary case I will not continue to collect these figures ....

Hmm...i think i can only do one. Dang.
Also, other than the backpack, what armors can be removed? Does Ash have a pic with all the armor pieces off?

Classic Ranger is still the clear winner for me.

Top 3 for me: Suicide Rose, silver and DIY.-
DIY has so much potential to be whatever you want it to be in color/weathering/labels and expression. Battle worn to gold platted. DIY could be so sick!

Really wish we could see the Rose, not sure I'm going to love a pink Trooper

Yeah, would love to see the Rose..my guess is that it's a red rose..not pink.

I hope that Red Rose is a dark red and not pinkish. A photo mock-up would be nice because since this is a 3AA I can't just drop $200+ on something just from an illustration. I still love 3A but i'm not putting down my funds blindly just because it a 3AA member item.

but.. "suicide" seems red to me, think blood.....

Suicide mission? Blood splattered, like the the old Bertie or the new Mount Ninja?

Might Look like Red Night JC. Black accents on blood red base color. Hope this also has some major weathering, oil splatters and battle damage like the last standing EDO on a battlefront. Lone survivor of a suicide mission. Cape burnt and rittled. I honestly can't wait for this even though we don't get to see photo I have to trust the force on this one.

Wonder what else the Rose Suicide Commando comes with to warrant such a higher price than the others?

More pouches, grenades, and the potential for a sketch.

The sword that the Suicide Rose Commando is holding in the sketch looks pretty long, I'm thinking it might come with the longer sword that came with Cornelius and the ninjas.

I wish the Swords where a bit more like shoguns swards with the scale of the bodies a beefy sward may have look better overall. Or redesign the handle to feel more lightsaber in appearance.

These troopers are cool but personally I don't think AW should cross swords with SW!! It just takes away from the uniqueness of the Popbot/Tomorrow Kings universe for me..... :/

Same here. It's interesting, since Popbot is all about mashing up different bits of Pop Culture so one would think that Star Wars would be a great fit. However, Star Wars is so damn big it eclipses Popbot which, while I don't enjoy saying this, is a much smaller and more obscure property. I'd rather see more edgy and underground Pop influences like Die Antwoord which still have a pop presence but aren't the all devouring leviathan that is Star Wars.

That said these figures look like a marvel of design. I'm guessing the removable armor means we might see some other figures using these chassis, and maybe parts can be swapped out. Praying we'll see something like this again without the bloated cultural attachment. I do hope these sell well, want to see Ash stay crazy with his Mortis Bots.

a question about the price , as 3AA member I'm surprised that 3AA version costs 260 usd while standard costs 240 usd and 220 usd (simple colour ). what bonus 3AA members gets for extra 20 usd?
