I stand by what Ive been saying for years. Hasbro versions only exist to justify Takaras overpriced existance. They all come from the same mold in china anyways. Thats about 50 cents worth of extra paint and and additional 10 cents to pay the poor Chinese factory worker to apply it. That "Asian market" excuse is the biggest fraud of all time.
This isn't a difference in paint, though. There's a whole bunch of new-molded plastic parts on the Takara version. Hasbro's is just a repaint of the original, while Takara's has a new head, a new chest, new arms, new leg armor, and a new weapon.Rated X wrote:Sabrblade wrote:It's pics like this that make feel like saying "Eat you heart out, Hasbro."

X, we had this discussion before and it was proven that TFs in Japan are the SAME PRICE as their American's counterparts.
So, shoo, shoo!

Less this, more hasbro wanting to maximize profits on a bunch of effortless (literally, no effort was put into the clash figures) repaints.
They could have released a clash strongarm.
They could have given them better paint jobs.
They could have remolded a couple of parts to make them look more the part.
They didn't, and I'm not surprised, just disappointed
