I've been staring at these photos a lot lately. I'm still on the fence.

I was on the fence until I found this guy on the shelf with Thunderwing and Megatron on an unrelated trip to the Mattō TRU. I'm very happy with the near-impulse purchase. There's a LOT of paint on this guy. It seems a small thing, but it's the orange & yellow on the tops of his wrists that really makes it for me. It's the sort of thing I'm used to putting on a reprolabel sticker for. The white face looks fine to me, but the white hands... well let's just say he'll always hold his weapon so I only have to see one of them. My figures don't spend much time in vehicle mode so I don't mind the mismatched top of the car. I don't buy figures often in Japan since all the prices are about $10 higher even if you're buying locally, but I'm glad I was weak when I found United Rodimus!

For a long time i heard this guy wasnt going to made anymore, and heard a bunch of rumors about the mold broke or was overused, something like that, but i have 3 of these guys; a Henkei one and yes he is MINT in MISB, a RID version and the 2 pack version with Cyclonus. No need for another, but who really knows and i may break and get him. Theres needs to be another Henkei Prime made as well.

Now *that* mold is beyond use.

The Rodimus one is still good it seems.

^I am still such a skeptic. People keep saying that and then they keep on making toys. I kinda think it's just a BS excuse HasTak gives if they don't wanna make a certain toy anymore. Isn't that what they said about Devastator before the Encore came out?

I just noticed. I like that detail, but a lot of it is still not to my liking.

There's a difference between deteriorated, broken and lost. The G1 Constructicon molds were merely lost, like the G1 Dinobot ones. Now, G1 Wheeljack is confirmed broken, so no chance of reissues there. And we all know full well what deteriorated means

In the case of Classics Voyager Optimus Prime, either the SG or the Universe Nemesis Prime release has alignment issues, a common symptom of mold deterioration.

Am I the only one who uses RTS as the Rodimus in my display?

^ Nope, you're not the only one. I use him for Hot Rod and original Classics Roddy wears the armor.

lol, okay. It's not beyond their abilities to re-tool it to fix the issues or simply do a new cast, so it's still a weak excuse from HasTak. I guess it shuts up most of the people whining for 'x' figure, so it works for them.

O, trust me it isn't beyond their abilities at all. It's just very costly. It's like needing paying twice for the same mold in order to use it again, that can be a pretty expensive joke. Then you may as well start from scratch.
