Whatever happened to the Premium Finish Line?

Postby Patrick Bateman » Tue Dec 06, 2022 1:18 am

I've been wondering this for quite a while now. The line seems to just have fallen off the radar. Siege Shockwave & Wheeljack would be cool to have in that deco. Anybody know more?

As far as is officially known, it still ongoing, but Takara has simply not released any new figures in it after PFSS-05 Movie Prime in July at this time.

For generations the last release was in January with PF WFC-04 Starscream.

That seems to be there MO. While they did announce the end of Leg nds as it transitioned to Selects, they never announced it's end ( although the pack in Manga pages pretty much inferred as such). While I know getting premium decos had it's fans, I'm hoping TT is gearing up to bring back something more along the selects line. Unique tooling to get us characters we've never, or haven't in a long time.

Not surprising. Though not sure I want to double dip of Kingdom guys. Maybe Primal if the Premium finish is really nice. Metallic thighs and arms instead of white.

They could take the Telemocha DX SP paint job and apply it to the Kingdom mold. Probably the only way I'd pick something up.

Though maybe Cheetor, if we get a nicer blue and metallic bronze parts would also entice me.

Judging from what little we can see it looks like they're applying the MP deco to the Kingdom figures.

Wasn't expecting to still be playing completist with WFC in 2023... [-(
