Thanks again milady JZGR. I have this odd habit of calling Omega Supreme OM, that should have been OS :BANG_HEAD:

TomyTakara should take their time this time, not rush the production of Devastar and make sure QC is at least 90% perfect.

I for one would be willing to wait until Christmas if only that QC would be a thing of the past like that of Encore Bruticus :sad:

You'd expect at least, being a well used mold, Bruticus would have been well maintained. (Maybe it was subcontracted to save on costs? Because OS and SL were high QC re-issues. I bend my knees and pray that this isn't G2 Devastator redux (that too had really poopy quality))

I read the review on Encore Bruticus and decided to ditch him on two accounts, QC and no die cast metal :lol:

Encore Omega and Skylynx on the other hand, were great. So if Encore Devastator QC is the same as OS/SL, I'm very happy. Hopefully, there's no modification. I just want it to be like the original.

I must've been lucky as my Encore Bruticus was fine; better than the desert redeco that was released in the Universe line.

Don't ditch the fig due to its die-cast content. QC is the weighty factor.

I didn't have ANY QC issues with my Encore Bruticus, nor with my Seacons either actually?

Prototype pics of the Devastar.

Seems like his forearms will be highlighted in black unlike the original. The missile launchers will be in yellow. Mixmasters' "mixer" will be molded gray.
