I was honestly getting annoyed when everyone was complaining about his size... but after getting a good look at it in it's packaging, I don't know, there is just a lot of room in that box. The mold is great, I love it, but I don't know... I don't want to be a complainer, but I am sort of siding with those who are, hah.

woah. there is indeed a lot of space.
woah. he's actually shorter than 08 bb.
not that is... odd.
He sould be sold as deluxe.

What the heck!!! That is SHORT! I think that's the first thing I dislike about this new line. Man, that's going to be like $30 up here in Canada too, assuming it's sold as a voyager. GRRRRRR

Yeah for a Voyager Class bot, he sure is small. Dosen't matter to me anyway though because I'm not buying Animated. B-)

What’s so great about this line? I see so much excitement but I just don’t get it, if I wanted Ben ten I’d would watch that show and buy its toys, but I hate Ben ten and that’s probably why I hate Animated.
Hasbro is putting off releasing the toys because they’ve realized the fact that they aren’t going to sell. They know that if they just keep going with the movie line they could do better than with this junk.

Bulkhead is disappointingly small! That's a shame, since the mold captures the character perfectly. Sorta like MP Starscream: shoulda been bigger, but otherwise spot-on. I'm getting it anyway, but I'm disappointed that they're selling a big Deluxe as a Voyager.

Thanks for the link. I wish they made him bigger, but I understand that how he's shaped, it would take a leader class to make him tall enough, something this line doesn't have. He's a nice figure though.

'they arent going to sell'.

you got inside info from hasbro to back up that claim? if not it is merely an assertion for which you have no evidence whatsoever.

i like the ben 10 toys and maybe thats why i like animated!
its interesting that the poll on this site (or another TF site, i forget) suggests that people are way more interested in animated than movie toys (both less than the universe line though).

The people who would be voting in that poll are more than likely fans or collectors like us and commonly they don’t count, as the kids around 4 to 12 make up a larger percent (I know somewhere around 85%) of the sales.

BTW I think I remember that poll, it was at Tformers I think.

I don't know of the poll, but I'd say fans are less interested in the movie toys, because they've already got most of 'em. I enjoyed the movie line, but I'm getting a bit bored of it, and eagerly anticipating the animated stuff.
