Many of us are getting excited about the new Transformers Movie toys, which will be released this summer. We know that Hasbro and Takara are both releasing the movie toys; but did you know that there are some differences in the toys?

Recently we reported here on a few articles from Japan's June edition of Dengeki Hobby , which contained information about the up coming Transformers Movie toys. Dengeki Hobby has indicated in the article that the Takara version of Optimus Prime (Leader class) will contain die-cast.

Eager fans may have a new decision to make when it comes to purchasing the movie version of Optimus Prime (Leader class)- Hasbro? or Takara?

Sheesh. I don't think I'll be picking up the Leader Class version at all, but if I was going to, the die-cast would make me lean heavily towards buying the Takara version.

You could bitch about anything, couldn't you Ed? Good God. Just because it's related to the movie doesn't mean you *have* to find fault with it. We won't worry you've gone soft if you let one through, honest.

I only wonder what *part* of the figure is die cast. I would assume either part of the torso or the lower legs for balance.

Why do people "drool" over diecast?

And you push on primes crotch to make his head drop down?

:/ nice gimmick.

BTW a very merry un-birthday to everyone!

I like it. I have accepted the movie toys and story as just another alternate TF universe. I'll probably get the Takara version of Prime, not just for the die-cast (nice touch) but for the paint apps. I'll wait to see the final cost first.
