Captured Prey have teamed up with MegaToyFan to offer a special exclusive item later this June! SG Boxbomber, a recolor set of Keith’s Fantasy Club Birdbomber and B-Box, are being offered at the Captured Prey Third Party and the MegaToyFan Parts Party which are being held in the evening of June 26-30 at Botcon 2013. The set, which features a red SG Birdbomber and a blue SG B-Box, recolors the not-Squawktalk and Beastbox to resemble their Autobot rivals Grandslam and Raindance.
SG Boxbomber is limited to 1,000 sets, 500 of which will be offered in China and the remaining 500 will only be available at the Captured Prey Third Party and MegaToyFan Parts Party, with any leftover stock being offered through their websites after Botcon.
Check out images attached to this story and be sure to swing by the parties even if you don’t plan on picking up these exclusives – they are a great way to meet and chill out with fellow fans!

I would be happy to see an additional color set, but I am happy with the red and blue for now because of how nice they look with shattered glass soundwave from the eHobby set.

Well, of course the club had to be a pain and NOT use these colors for SG Beastbox and Squawktalk. Anyone want to buy recolors that look like this or do you prefer the red and blue one? Personally I'd buy both and just consider them different characters. I have rarely met a recolored cassette I didn't like.

Anyone else find putting the guns on these guys to be one hell of a chore? The pegs need to be a smidge smaller, or the holes a smidge wider. Bleh.

Ordered mine. Also there were a bunch of other thing on CP I was waiting to pull the trigger on so it worked out quite well for me.
Insane Galvatron

Got the first half of the shipment in! Looking awesome!

No, they are easier and it means that the consumer has less risk of damaging an item permanently, very handy indeed with small figures like these. Much easier during factory construction as well, as the item clicks into place rather than having a pin inserted.

i design 3D models and balljoints are too much more complicated to do
thats why
BLOODRAGED189
Are ball joints more expensive?
f-primusunicron
ok, let me reformulate my question.
why do they use balljoints, when they tend to be more fragile than swivels and other type of joints, being an unnecessary cost on the design, when they do not need them and because of the design they do not serve a real or practical purpose, since they are positioned in a way they do not really look good on any position out of the ones for the main modes and they add no real improvement over the figure(like, again the balljoint on the feet, they are just resting there, so, no improvement) then the bird tail which would look rather silly if rotated, hinge joint would have provided the necessary movement for all the modes
so, again,id say no,it doesn't have good looking alt modes, the lack of paint, the size, the third party cost, the import cost, the extra design elements that make them a little bit expensive but do not really improve the figure and the overall design of the combined mode that look more like a more articulated but not exactly an improved version, because of having some weird proportions.
but thats my personal opinion
BLOODRAGED189
why not the balljoints when they do not use them?
f-primusunicron
why the balljoints when they do not use them?(the tail, the robot feet/wing tips)
and the cassette modes are pretty lame, i mean they look just like the figures doing yoga or something
and the beats modes are not that nicelly done, and since we are paying third party prices, even more a limited edition, why not some paint to make thinks blend better(like the tail , wings and some other parts, beak and i dont know)
so, thanks but no thanks
oh, and the proportions on the robot mode are pretty bad
-_-

Pretty neat looking figure. I might just pick this up at BotCon.
Rewind
Oooooohhh…. I like that. Damn, I don't really want both that and the regular one so if I can snag one of these I guess I'll just sell off the other one. Thanks for the photos!
CZ Hazard
Loving seeing the in hand shots, these are a definite purchase when I get to Botcon!

They're not compatible.
They're most likely 5mm, so based off that, yes.
Can't answer this one.
Indeed he does.
