Fo Sho! But I am dissapointed by their Soundwave. There are still some parts wehre I would have liked to see more paint but is instead kept bare. As with the Hasbro version there are large surfaces of just the blue plastic colour with nothing breaking it up.

Goddamnit! So close to getting the news credit, and yet so far. Oh well.

Anyway, TR Blaster looks amazing. Scale issues or not...I'm tempted. Soundwave looks good too but if I wanted a Leader sized Soundwave I'd just get the MP.

Moonheart (or Pulsewave as I'll call her if I get her) is adorable though.

Really? What for the two of you makes the Hasbro version superior? The paint apps are almost identical. The Hasbro version painted the chest "pipes" white, while the Takara version left them yellow, which creates a more dynamic look for the chest, playing more on the 3-D nature of the medium. The paint job on the tails is slightly different, but neither looks "superior" to the other. The Hasbro version has silver paint on the shins, but the Takara version has better paint apps on the beats mode claws (the Hasbro version using a weird "dry brush" technique). The Hasbro version has more color (blue and white) on the beat mode flanks, but the Takara version keeps it a more cohesive yellow. Finally, the Takara version has better color matching on the yellow plastics. You can see in the Hasbro version that the yellow plastics for the pelvis and around the hinges for the wolf head is noticeably lighter shade.

Looking at them both next to eachother in wolf mode, I really wouldnt be able to tell you off the top of my head which is which:
Image

And thats amazing news since usually you just check which one looks better and you go "well thats the takara one surely", but here they both looks too similar. With difference in paint apps as opposed to a more paint on one. So this is really great and what I always wished from takara and hasbro, for there to be differences rather than one be superior. Like that everyone wins no matter where we are in the world.

EDIT: looking at the robot modes, I think hasbro's has more paint apps due to the coloured shins and silver circles near the beast feet, I would actually go for the hasbro one if both were at the store for the same price.

Hasbro can't have more paint than Takara, it breaks the internet!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously though, I'll be happy to pick up the Hasbro over the Takara this time.

Congrats on Fort Max!! Is he everything I've dreamed of and more?! Still waiting for my shipment update..

Ohhhhh snap.

I'm still kicking around the idea of ordering the Reprolabels for the Transtector/Base/Battleship and the Master Sword. A combination of both sets may be in my future!! :shock:

Well, dont know if you know this but a good part of the reprolabel set is to add details to his inner legs.... which Takara glued shut. So the reprolabels set is better for the Hasbro version than the Takara, which cant use many of its stickers.

Its not that easy Cram, check what someone said when they tried it:

Of course, all that said, I did want to see how hard it would be to free up those pegs. If I couldn't, no big deal, and I'd just move on. But it was easy enough to slide a blade in, cut the two pegs, and add in new ones


Yeah thats right, you got to mutilate your toy to get it done.

No one.

Sometimes if you are lucky the melting temp of the glue is lower than the plastic and the glue can be freed with very careful rapid movement across it with a hair dryer - don't keep it still or the plastic will melt.

I supposed you could also unscrew the knees and dip the legs in hot water too if you are feeling brave.

I guess they did it for safety reasons rather than to troll people.
Perhaps if enough people complain they won't glue the legs shut on any second release version they might make - if people complain about it enough.

It wouldn't have been so bad if they'd just glued the sides they'd likely has been pry-able apart.

It isn't necessarily the size. It's the very spindly proportions.
