I have never until now been tempted to import repaints. These things are very well done.
We're all just products of our programming... And there always seem to be a few glitches.

Megatron looks really cool... if only they could do something to make his legs look a little stronger/thicker.
The beast wars repaints are in most cases better than I would expect. I don't know if I'll get them or not (as I have most of the figures), but there's a higher chance now that I've seen these pics...

In that picture it looks as if Waspinator actually has a new head as opposed to the original w/mutant head painted like we got with the 10th Anniversary figures. I still don't understand why they don't just remove the mutant heads on Rhinox and Dinobot though.

Yours AK
I think its less an eye for detail and more a willingness to push the price up if they feel more paint apps are needed. Hasbro starts with the price point and everything choice from then on is effected by it. They will not push to a higher price point, thus sometimes a figure suffers. Takara has no problem pushing up the price if they think it gets a better product that collectors are more likely to buy.

I like the look of Howlinger/Wolfang. I may pick him up. Still no picks of Drancron?!

Are these the first pictures we've seen of them? I can't remember.
But as for the figures, I love them! If I had the kind of money, I'd buy them all at once!

These pictures provide some good details regarding MP Megatron. IMO the legs look better in these shots.
I am starting to get a sinking feeling that he will not contain that much die-cast. It looks like his feet are die-cast, along with his groin, and possibly thighs. The black handle, chest, arms, and other parts look more like plastic. I hope I am wrong.
His groin appears to have a series of folded hinges. I hope they stay together well.
