The colors really pop and need to be seen in hand to fully appreciate the brightness. Crosshairs is really fun and I think it's great how you can tilt the car hood to get a trench coat like flow going. Highly recommended.

On the side of the Strafe Evolution 2-Pack's packaging is some box art for the "classic" version of the character. One would think this would either be new art for the repackaged, repurposed DOTM Rav figure, or simply some recycled art of G1 Swoop. It's neither.

Plenty of the wave 1 deluxes if you dont mind spending 17.99 a pop. I guess TRU is a great last resort if youre desperate to get the figure without going online.

Jestermon wrote:Exactly, but that isn't a reason for people to complain about it being overused when it's hardly been available at US retail for most people that hadn't shelled out large amounts for those.

I think it's about time for such a good mold. Also, has anyone thought that perhaps Hasbro and Takara/Tomy have thier own copies of the mold? Perhaps Takara's is all loose from repeated production (it seems typical of Takara to over-do it) but Hasbro's may have little problems.
Just a thought there.
As an aside: I know Takara's really puts some money into paint applications and stuff and they direct thier toys towards the older collector (makes sense sue to the demographic) however, I'm not terribly impressed with them as an innovator. Sure they do some great decos but how many Takara exclusive molds have been any good? Look at the Transformers Go! toys, I know there are fans, but to me they look horrible. I also wasnt a fan of Takara/Tomy strapping posts all over the Prime line just so they could sell their little minicons. This rant doesnt really have a place here but I seen very little real innovation from them.
Sorry for getting all off topic, just wanted to say that

The figure is a repaint of Platinum Voyager FoC Grimlock, with the logo changed from Lightning Strike Coalition to Autobot, and some extra/different paint apps and chrome. Check it out below!
