More Images of Gentei Dark Skyfire

I'm in love.

This will be my 4th version of this mold. And I love every one of them.

but aren't henkei figures exclusive to japan with all that chromy goodness?

How's the adve... top 25 countdown coming? I hope youre not planning to name Countdown #1, I watched a piece of my soul die during an E! countdown of guilty pleasures that ended with countdowns as the #1 guilty pleasures. It was a top 100, 5 installments of 20 in 5 days! Shame on me for tuning in.

On topic, how much is this lovely figure going to cost?I'm not sure how I feel about the blackness of the figure, I was liking the earlier dark dark gray

Glad I could help, that price took me off the fence in a hurry. It is almost like they are giving them away. Forgot to check if they were a site sponsor before posting, glad they are.

Damn, this looks good

Thanks to just reading the Mean Robot post I thought this title said 'genital'.

"Henkei" means "Transform" and "Gentei" means "Exclusive".

"Henkei! Henkei! Transformers" quite literally translates as "Transform! Transform! Transformers" and refers to the Japanese releases of the Classics and Universe 2008 figures. "Gentei! Gentei! Transformers" means "Exclusive! Exclusive! Transformers" and refers to those toys that are limited in release while also being a name pun on "Henkei! Henkei!".

The only "Gentei! Gentei!" figures there are are:

• Stuntron Wildrider (redeco of Classics Rodimus)
• Dirge (retool of Classics Ramjet)
• Thrust (retool of Classics Ramjet)
• Strafe w/ Rocketbot (redeco of Universe Cyclonus)
• Dark Skyfire (redeco of Classics Jetfire)

And Electrodistruptor Ligier, Ghost Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker
and Clear Convoy.

No, those ones are exclusives, but they aren't part of "Gentei! Gentei!" The five I listed are the only "Gentei! Gentei!" exclusives.

ED Ligier is DEFINITELY a Gentei figure. The others I'm not 100% about. I can't find clear enough pictures online.

EDIT: Okay, I'll go halfsies with you. Skywarp and Thumdercracker are Henkei, ED Ligier and G. Starscream are Gentai, and I'm still not sure about clear Convoy.

Thats why I'm buying it. £32.23 shipped to the UK off of Robot Kingdom. Nice .
