Takara has its big reveal day today, and that includes their next figures in Legacy, Beast Wars vs and the reveal of the new Dramatic Capture Series.

For Legacy, we have Silverbolt, which will be released as part of wave 2 in Legacy United. However, it is unclear if the deco we see is exclusive to Takara or if Hasbro's release will be identical.

For Beast Wars Vs we have Ghost Starscream and Waspinator two pack which has an MSRP of around $60 (so the same prices as a deluxe and voyager these days in the US).

Finally for the Dramatic Capture Series we have the box set of Decepticons in premium deco with throne. The MSRP is around the $110 mark.

None of these seem to be exclusive, so they will wind up on Amazon Japan with discounts, which will help make up for the added shipping cost. All are set of a March 2024 release.

I like Silverbolt
I wouldve appreciate something different about the upper arms in bot mode to look cleaner but im guessing it's show accurate to have the doggy paws up there

Shipping will be unavoidable.

Regardless, I'm really tempted to get the Waspinator and Ghost Screamer pack.
Wasp look great and I'm curious to see if that all clear Screamers will have SOLID joints instead of clear ones?

I KNEW that somehow, sometime, we’d be getting a new Ghost Starscream. That 2 pack is going to be a MUST for me, unless we get any sudden news of a regular release ghostie screamer.

I thought Waspinator was going to be clear plastic too. Might pass on it as much as i'd like the Starscream.

That Silverbolt is looking good! The rest, eh, I can live without.

I look forward to SIEGE Shockwaves being dumped on eBay by people who get the set.

Armada Megatron looks pretty good, I have to say...

...Though I definitely find him better with certain modifications made.

I'm very happy they used this line to give Earthrise Dirge a real release. Glad to have him, he's pretty fun. This is actually my first time having any Earthrise Seekers, and I think it's a lovely mold.

But I do hope if they do likewise for Ramjet and give us a Thrust restock, they'll switch to the original leg panels or else alter this one. This new leg panel they made for the Coneheads very clearly did not take altmode into account properly - they can't close properly and they block access to the flight stand port. And the limited access to the coneheads probably prevented Hasbro from getting adequate feedback.

Blitzwing, I've already talked about a bit, but here's some pics. Also some more things of note:
* His ankle tilts don't work too well. At least, the right one doesn't. It's effectively a soft ratchet. The left one moves more freely for some reason.
* More bad design with the gauntlets: I discovered that while the pegs are hopeless, they can attach by slotting onto the arm panels... but the slots are on the same side as the 5mm pegs at the rear of the gauntlets, so the pegs up on the inside where they can conflict with his chest a bit.

They make neat little drone turrets though.

And then of course there's this guy:

Definitely every bit the showstopper he should be.

Not full combiner size, but not too shy of it either.

It'll be interesting to see how they handle Overload. And specifically, wearing both Overload and Jetfire at once; one of those two will have to come with a replacement backpack for that scenario.

Action shot to round things out.

Why would they? It's the exact same toy but without the extra bits. Plus, Siege Shockwave is basically worthless because it was over-produced.

...

AAaaaaannnnnnnnndddddd eBay proves me wrong. :shock:

Well, that's where my Waspnator is headed if I get the Ghostscream set.

Well, that's just it: since they're the same toy, people who already had SIEGE Shocky would be unlikely to keep both after getting this set. They'd want to unload one or the other (and then there's the people who will be dumping this set's Shockwave because Soundwave was literally the only one they wanted).

Yeeeah. The days of getting SIEGE Shockwave near, at, or below retail on eBay... have sadly ended. But if a bunch of people started unloading them because of this set, that could well change.

I’m interested in that Decepticon 3-pack.
Although I still really don’t like the ER Megatron head sculpt…. It’s too small/narrow…. Or I guess the face sculpt should’ve been smaller.
I don’t know that I like the metallic paints on Soundwave.
And with this, I’m completely convinced this character needs a new mold—
for the love of God that stupid-ass landing gear on the forearms and lack of covers…
I mean that’s not the only issue I have with this mold, but for me those forearms are such eyesores.

I never bought Siege Shockwave…
So if I do get this set, I may end up being one who sells off that Megatron.

Supposedly we;re getting it on Pulse.

As usual with most Japanese exclusives.

But for this here Canadian, my only real option is to pre-order from Amazon.jp if it appears over there.

Pulse charge a premium and their shipping costs are ludicrous.

I'm actually counting on Megatron from this set being dumped on eBay! :))

I agree so much on the need for forearm covers. That, plus no wrist-swivels on a lot of figures, and budget be damned, the extra nickel or even dime it would cost them is not an excuse. The bean counters have gotten out of hand with the hollowness, lack of paint and lack of articulation. Most of these figures could be near perfect with those things. I would bet the designers are frustrated as well. Now the clear plastic on joints or even windows needs to go too, and that may be on the designers. It doesnt look good to see a bunch of kibble crammed in there through the windows. Maybe I am in the minority, but I do not like the clear windows.

That sounds like some suck ass crap to deal with. I've never ordered from Pulse, is the shipping pretty fair here in the states? :VEHI:

Yes. It's only Canadian shipping that costs extra when ordering from Pulse.

Yes. It's only Canadian shipping that costs extra when ordering from Pulse.

Only going on anecdotal evidence from here and a few other places, it seems like :HASBRO:

is leaving money on the table. Surely they would make more working out, at least, a discount for Pulse collectors club or whatever its called.
