Speaking of scale, I'm not sure what to think about the dinobots being in the upcoming core class range. Not only will they look weird next to the bots they've already released, but they have a lot of parts so they might actually end up smaller? Or will they be deluxe sized?

I feel like that photo makes him look bluer than he is, as well.

Purple is notoriously impossible to properly photograph. It's either super saturated or blue

Do you have an example of the G1 toy being different from the one below? I can't find one anywhere. Did they rerelease it early on in purple? Not a big deal, I was just confused. I bought the Pocket Toys version and he fits pretty well with the other core class guys, cause he's a bit taller. But he's a lot lighter, almost pink.

https://twitter.com/tfw2005/status/1543880683554082816 It looks nice, and the Transformation looks like it'll be cool. My only real complaint is why are we getting core class figures in the Studio Series line of Deluxe size guys? So far it's just him and Shockwave, but why not Core class Bee, Cliffjumper, Brawn, or Wheelie?

Cosmos is coming up next. The core class main cast stuff is like, an attempt to get a slice of the new age pocket scale pie.

I think it's a response to deluxes closing in on $30. You can't just impulse buy at that price, but $12 isn't entirely impossible

Yeah, what with starting out with the Big Names it feels like they're floating an attempt at the legends class market. Especially considering they've done such a good job of things at the usual size classes, there may be more people than just me who don't really feel the need to update any more. With the IF/Newage style, it's a chance to convince people to to buy all these guys again, but smaller. E: I like what IF is doing, but Mirage aside (and the Lambros if they ever turn up again), I'm making the conscious decision to only buy minibots from them. Otherwise it will turn into "buy all these guys again". Yes, I'm counting Breastforce in that, sadly. Phy fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Jul 4, 2022 |

Anora posted:https://twitter.com/tfw2005/status/1543880683554082816 That looks good! One reason why? No easily seen gaps in arms and legs. I hate how so many have hollow arms/legs and even weapons being dug into with gaps on the sides instead of being more solid.

Then possibly GTA'd the poor driver and sped off into the night like a lunatic. Can't explain it, I just get excited like a 5 year old anytime I see a 280z. Caught an ep of Wheeler Dealers a while back where they buy and restore one and was amazed how little they were asking for it afterwards, would have bought the drat thing in a heartbeat. Transformers warped my tiny mind, etc.

Not super interested since I have the T30 one, but he's very nice looking. Gives me hope for more off beat series picks like RiD Strongarm, or maybe more of the IDW guys, like Whirl or Drift. It has been ages since we got a good new Drift.

Me and my four year old are excited for that Starscream (he's currently mainlining Armada, the 6 year old prefers Prime). Looks super cool. I just love the designs from Armada, I think they're neat. Hyped for Megatron.
