Mudflap is not a Myth!
Thursday, October 21. 2010
As a specific collector of the ~1/24 Transformers, I notice it more when one of them gets shortpacked than I do with other mainline figures. In the case of Alternators Swerve, I could understand that - as a modified version of an existing casting - it was probably not highly sought after and therefore not a high priority for Hasbro. The SDCC Exclusives? Of course those are limited - that's the whole point of an exclusive, frustrating though it may be. I could even understand the limited accessibility of Ravage & Rumble, coming in at the very tail end of the Alternators line. But I can't figure out any reason why Mudflap is so impossible to find.
Ignoring the negative character traits, he was still a big part of Revenge of the Fallen, and he has gotten multiple figures in other sizes. The Human Alliance figure is an all-new tooling, so I'm hard pressed to figure out why Hasbro isn't pushing harder to get their money's worth out of it. And as much as I wanted to have the full HA series, there was no way I was going to pay $75 or more for him.
Fortunately, I was able to snag one through Amazon.com
for the MSRP, and have now been able to add him to my collection.
