ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

I'll never get the love for those busts. They look so, well...Weird and underdetailed.

Now, this is how Hasbro should've done the Premium Bumblebee.

Sadly they didn't.

Looks very good, though you might want to touch on the yellow car bits as well. It looks very undetailed compared to the repainted metallic bits.

The next Masterpiece figure has been confirmed and rather unsuprisingly it's Thundercracker.
Also the next numberings for the Henkei line are,

When has that been confirmed?

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Sure, I'll try it.

 

[Reinhardt]

Sure, I'll try it.

thanks bro. i was actually thinking the same thing, but didn't know how to go about making it look more detailed.

I expect it'll be his G1 colors.

I finally found some of the Animated voyager class figures today at Target, so I picked up Lugnut and (finally!) Grimlock. I really like them both. Grimlock is six kinds of awesome, and Lugnut is surprisingly cool. I think the Voyagers seem quite a bit nicer in a number of ways than the deluxes. I was torn about whether or not I should get the Voyager Prime and Megatron, so I decided to wait. I haven't decided for sure which versions to get.

Voyagers would naturally be better than Deluxe, as Deluxe is the smaller class.

Where do you live? I'm surprised you actually found Grimlock in the store... The only ones in stores (which are still way sparse) are the first line of figures. Very cool.

I'm aware of that, of course, but smaller doesn't necessarily mean worse in quality.

Illinois.

When it comes to Hasbro, yes, it does.

 

[icruise]

That wasn't really my experience with the movie figures.

 

[bagelsncheesey]

You're joking right? So you liked the Deluxe Brawl more than the Leader one?

 

[icruise]

I'm not really talking about comparing different versions of the same character -- of course the voyager or leader versions will be nicer. I just get the impression that the animated deluxes as a class are a little less impressive than the movie deluxes were, in terms of build quality and design. It's possible, though, that the animated voyagers are so exceptionally good that they're making the deluxes look bad. The 3 animated voyagers I have are just fantastic.

Scored Animated Grimlock and Lugnut in my Target tonight

 

[icruise]

Great. They're very nice figures.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Cool. I wish I could get into these guys, but my funds wont allow it. I'll only be allowed to get the Trans Scanning figs this summer. I wish I could get that Voyager Prime though.

 

[bagelsncheesey]

Great. They're very nice figures.

I'm totally impressed. From the clear/tinted plastic to the paint apps, to the "strong" feel of the toy (not fragile feeling)... and they transform well. Couldn't ask for any more really.

One thing though... I do wish Grimlocks mouth would stay open in dino mode. I like the "press a button" action, but that would also be a nice feature.

TakaraTomy presents Transformers Alternity, starting with the Nissan Skyline.

Unfortunately, there are a few...Cons.

1: It's Convoy.
2: No diecast metal, appearantly.
3: Price is around 45 dollars.
4: BARELY BIGGER THEN MOVIE DELUXES.https://www.fantofan.jp/news/event/toyshow2008/DSC00328.jpg

Oh well. At least there's MP Thundercracker. https://www.fantofan.jp/news/event/toyshow2008/DSC00317.jpg
