The Decepticons almost always had the better color schemes. Bad guys in general do most of the time when you think about it.

I was completely unsold on the new OP, but the last few days I’ve started to second guess myself, and now I’m wondering if it’s worth buying it just so as not to loving buy a $450 figure for aftermarket prices if it turns out I want the thing.

I know 3P and Hasbro have basically not acknowledged each other legally or officially, but torpedoing a Hasbro kickstarter with your competitive product using their IP seems like a dare

I actually prefer how Hasbro Unicron looks. I also adore that he has plenty the little ports for effect parts

This is not a mass retail item, they're only making enough to fill orders and a bit more for replacements/defects, just like the Sail Barge. They may figure out a way to get some to European customers but there's nothing concrete yet. juggalo baby coffin posted:hmm I'll have to check that out, thanks!

re: Bludgeon, there's also the retool of RID '15 Megatronus into him, which was also used as a new character named Blastwave (who showed up in the show) Bludgeon himself didn't, but he's finally getting his first proper animated appearance in season 2 of Cyberverse

Galvatron's alt-mode was always superstupid, but his robot mode was fantastically designed and that thing looks great.

GD_American posted:Galvatron's alt-mode was always superstupid, but his robot mode was fantastically designed and that thing looks great. it always seemed like a waste of time for him to transform because his gun was just on his arm anyway, it's not like he gained any functionality as a cannon. i really like this recolour of masterpiece megatron: one of the vhs tapes I had as a kid had megatron in those colours on it, and he always looked super dope. I can't really find it for sale in the UK anywhere though, and I can't tell if hes painted silver or if its vacuum metalized. I had a bad experience with my 20th anniversary optimus, where some of the vac metal on the truck grill got scraped off while transforming him.

I really wish Rioter Galcatron was coming out this fall. I really wish "Galcatron" wasn't the best MakeToys could come up with for re-naming a 3P Galv too.

i'm really surprised there's no 3rd party jhiaxus or straxus. jhiaxus is a really long running character in 2 comic series now, but the only official toys hes gotten have been weird orange recolours of stuff that doesn't look anything like him. does anyone have any opinion on the best version of overlord? hes a very cool character and i've never had a toy of him

The transformation for Sovereign is pretty straightforward and even neat in places. And he comes with so many blast effects he can’t even hold them all on his cannon in either mode. But yeah it’s all about that bot mode.

I've heard it estimated that the average major 3rd party release is only 1500-3000 pieces. Fanstoys may have higher production than most but still, these are super limited items.
