Really? So there's a shortage where you're at too eh? Now, I want a few movie figures, but I've purchased all the ones I wanted. I have Barricade, Starscream and Optimus Prime. My girlfriend recently bought Blackout and Bumblebee, as well as Arcee.
Hmm, that's cool. I wonder if there's any difference between my Optimus figure and the ones you and Sadako own.
From what I can see online, it appears to be that the Starscream/Bumblebee ones were on the earlier models, the other versions have come along subsequently.
Apparently the movie-anniversary Prime is the one with the Megs stickers.
I suppose it makes sense. They put the starscream one there first and then build MP starscream.... The later edition comes out and hints at whats to come.....Megatron....which we then got.
By the looks of it, Takara are using this to promote possible future MP releases... So the fact that Grimlock is on the later ones along with Megatron makes me think massive dinobot-related malarkies and shenanigans may lay ahead.
Those look very IDW, those figures in your pics....
I'd love an MP Grimlock, but I can just imagine the nightmare it will be to transform.
MP Megatron is arguably the worst, upper body looks decent but in general it's a shitty figure. Prime has yet to be topped. Why repaint MP Starscream black and call it Skywarp? Spend the time making an MP of newer ones.
I'de hope so, that generation/legends of cybertron Grimlock wasn't what I was hoping for. Wasn't Bumblebee's re-make toy like a a Mini-Cooper or something It had two white stripes and I think you own it, I could've sworn I saw it in one of the pics of your collection
They're Revoltech showcase figures. They don't transform, as they're just super posable figures similiar to those Gundam figures with several weapons and hands.
Yeah its a weird hybrid of the new minis, like you say and with VW inspired feel on the smallness of the roof and the roundedness in the wheel arches etc.
It comes with a little jetski type trailer attachment that can be transformed and attached to his back/shoulders, but that depletes the G1 look for me, so I left mine off.
The classics Bumblebee is an excellent figure that you should definitely pick up when you see it.
LOL True. It'd make assembly of the old Zoidzilla look like transforming G1 Grimlock..
Well, Masterpiece Ultra Magnus without his trailer/armour is more of a pointless Masterpiece for me, on the grounds you cite but:
(A) I always loved Skywarp, he was my first decep jet, he could teleport, never snivelled to Megatron like Starscream did and his paintscheme just said "evil" to me.
(B) I definitely would get Thundercracker too getting all three as from the moment I saw MP Starscream, the completionist in me was all kinds of hungry for the set. I dare say I'll get the classics Skywarp and Thundercracker too to go with the Starscream I already have.
(C) Like with Prime, theres just something about the design.
I dunno its like the robotic "angel of death" look. Just never gets old.
(D) The F-15 mode looks fantastic on these Seeker class jets too.
Yeah. I want the entire set, but now it may be hard. I got Starscream, but I should have got them all when they 1st were released. Only one I see often is Mirage
