I got my Banzaitron last night from BBTS, and he's interesting. I actually like him more than I thought I would given other reactions to the figures. He did have a smell to him when I opened him, but that dissipated pretty quickly.

He's pretty neat. I like how he feels in hand, he has some weight to him and feels like he was well put together. Posing is decent but limited in range, but that is probably my main complaint and it isn't even that terrible, though notable in the improvement it could use.

The alternate hands are fun, and can help him be more expressive and make up some for the limited articulation range. I also like his sword and Razorsharp is pretty neat too, though I really wish he had at least had a joint to flip the gun out. Razorsharp probably only needed 3 or 5 moving parts total to be an excellent little update, but as is he is a simple accessory that is a solid piece, but is painted nice and can still combine with the gun.

So yeah, overall, Banzaitron is neat. He was one of maybe 3 revealed so far that I was interested in, and it is enough to convince me that Tarn will be worth getting, and it will make me consider Bludgeon some more too.

That's pretty damn boss!

Too bad they are so expensive for me, factoring shipping, exchange rates, taxes, and whatnot.

I plan to yes. Mainly because he comes with Nickel and I don't see her coming in her own release. But also because I think these are OK, and I would like a Tarn for the Cyberverse shelf, and the Super& one not transforming works for that as well. I think I'm going to sell my MMC one, use the Super7 for the Cyberverse, and the generations one on the main con shelf.

He is looking good

Man, they've delayed Ultimates Wave 2 and 3 AGAIN! Wave 2 was originally planned for summer '22, then fall '22 and now February '23 while Wave 2 went from fall '22 to winter '23 to July '23. These two waves were first announced in February '21! I honestly wonder if these will ever actually see release.

This is normal for Super 7, just wait for wave 4 to ship before wave 2.

I'd love to directly buy Bludgeon, not entering an eternal preorder limbo.

Yep, Tarn delayed to July 2023. Good thing we are getting Legacy Tarn, the delay only truly affects me adding a Nickel to the Scavengers
