Comparison Images: Encore 20A Anime Devastator

Thanks to ACToys member Uranus we have a great set of images showcasing Takara Tomy's Encore 20A Anime Devastator gift set. These images include full comparisons to the figures from the previously released Encore 20. This version features a lighter colored plastic, new combiner head scuplt, purple drum for Mixmaster, black combiner forearms, and additional paint apps in an effort to produce a figure closer to how Devastator appeared in the original cartoon. Images mirrored below.

It does have a coolness factor to it. I wish I had known about this a while back I would have held off on the 1st Encore release. But I'm happy none the less...'nuff said! :VEHI:

Ah... He's perfect!!! I love the new facial paint jobs, even apart from all the rest of the improvements.

Man, Takara sure screwed a lot of people over releasing their mediocre Encore version first, only to be followed by the superior version. To me, the regular Encore Devastator was lacklustre: mostly due to the fact I have an original G1. However, I'd certainly have bought the previous Encore if I didn't have the OG1: and I would have been royally pissed off seeing this more interesting version come so soon after that one.
I'm so meta, even this acronym...

I actually just got my first Encore Devastator and it doesn't bother me. I appreciate the G1 accuracy because that's my goal in picking up the reissues. I just want some version of the original. So this new one is actually less toy-accurate, and therefore it's not exactly what I'd want. I could see how others might be annoyed though, if this came out after they already got the first one.

I like most of the updates- especially on the individual faces. But that face, G1 or not, just looks like a balding middle aged Devastator who needs to poop.

Looks cool; and it took only 30 years.

Though it seems kind of redundant now with all the 3rd party upgrade kits out there that also seem to achieve better results.

To be frank, what's easier? Editing animation, or retooling the mold of a toy that was released in Japan a couple years prior? ;)

I'm not really feeling the visor, plus I'm a stickler for toy-accuracy.
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for Arms Microns, especially Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

I'm really tempted by this set as I've never owned G1 Devastator before. I still have Menasor, Pirannacon and Bruticus from when I was a wee kid so this would help to round off my combiners. Yes, I know. Still need to get G1 Predaking too.

Don't like the green on this, too yellow. They never looked that color on any TV I used. The older toys were a better match. These look like someone took those and set them in direct sunlight for 5-10 years.

Those paint apps are all I've ever wanted from these toys and G1 toys in general.

Well, aside from more articulation, show-accurate designs and sizes, but that's what newer toys are for. ;)
