And dammit, I didn't want to get a Ginrai. I wonder if he'll work with the hasbro version.

that wouldn't surprise me... sturdy joints, and he does parts-form to God Ginrai....

That and the fact that the original toy literally had no feet.
But yes, probably that too.

It won't. Different set of feet. Ginrai has those skinny ones while Hb Optimus has those big boots.

Just like in the anime. There are actual seats in the chest/cockpit.

We've got a rumored product listing for Apex Bomber or something like that as part of a box set, so I wouldn't count it out just yet.
Let me say that I'm really impressed with what we've got here. It looks great, it functions great, only slight negative is the silly-looking wings over the shoulders. It's a fantastic update to a kind of brickish toy.

He isnt leader Class, or else the price would be very different. He is more like a voyager.
What is odd is how Takara still made him a headmaster.
And while i think this is super cool, I really dislike how small it makes the Optimus head look. Plus, there seems to be a big space between where the Optimus trailer ends at the bottom of his legs and where the feet connect (its where they palce the weapons) which is a shame since it means the Optimus feet could have been more filled out with the trailer hanging all the way down initially.

Maybe Takara WILL make their own Deathsaurus.

Yeah I saw that and its a good point, but since this is so far a japanese exclusive toy I am not sure the same rules apply. Takara can do as they wish, they dont mind having toys in between classes and not pertaining to a specific class. And he looks much smaller than Optimus in every mode.

Hasbro is already making their own deathsaurus. It will be the Leader Class toy coming out next fall in the TR line (rumour so far).

I meant for the UW Liokeiser set. I should've said Leozack to replace Deathsaurus.

You think thats more odd than his tiny head?
Posted by Sabrblade on December 2nd, 2016 @ 10:15am CST
The head only looks tiny cuz of how big all the armor kibble has to be to fit around the body. Otherwise, his head would have to be as bulbously oversized as it was on the G1 mold, which would make Super Ginrai look rather silly.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Why are the wings so high up on his back?

Maybe not an exact retool, but I think some pieces are re-used. Look at the legs and the torso piece. To me it looks like they took them and just altered the details. I could be wrong though.

There's no real similarities, no.

Then I saw the pics of Takara Legends Ginrai towing the armor. Wow, that looks much better than my initial impressions were. I wonder if it armors up Ginrai...
Then I scrolled down in the thread. It's beautiful! Maybe the wings are a tad too high, but overall, I really like it.
So...preordered!

Thing looks ridiculously good in combined mode, even with the weird feet.

That's not how retools work. Retools share exact parts and engineering to various degrees. Also, Godbomber has to split apart in order to combine with Super Ginrai, which is another argument to him being a whole new mold.
And I don't know, God Ginrai looks a bit... rough around the proverbial edges. I think it's the bulk...

Because there's no way I'm paying anything close to the $95 asking price from domestic retailers. Takara, why do you do this to me?
If you dont like the huge handling fee from local importers, you can always import him yourself for $55 plus shipping. Takara's price is quite fair.

Local importers bought these toys back when the US dolar was lower, but now it has strengthened since so you are better off importing.
