Transformers geeks:

I recently bought an excellent quality loose but complete Ramjet of EbayUK - however his nose cone is plastic, not rubber.

I'm thinking three possible reasons:

1. It's part of the design. Ramjet is meant to have a superstrong nosecone which helps him crash into stuff. And you don't want a nosecone made of bendy rubber now, do you?

2. It's a valuable, rare variant, an artifact that'll one day put my kids through college.

3. Or most likely, i'ts a crap re-release and I've been had.

So which is it?

I say crap, and that's because I'm negative. ;)

But if you want some good Transformers and have a wallet the size of a Buick, check out the Commorative Editions they have out. So far, the only released that I've seen is Ultra Magnus, Starscream, and Powermaster Optimus Prime....all for $35-$50 apiece.

Damn.

If i remember correctly all Gen-1 fighters had rubber cones. Later figures had the hard nose cone. It could be a re-release, or the cone has been replaced. Tough luck........................
