If they manage him at that price, I might just have to dig deep and get him.
I don't have any attachment to Omega at all, but he looks awesome. If Has/Tak is planning him as an upcoming Titan in the next few years, things could be interesting!

I guess it was the face (perfect!), the cannons and pure girth/size of DX9's effort that pleased me so much. The space cannon also looks quite cool, and unlike some Takara MPs, I felt safe fiddling with him.
That said, Sovereign looks amazing! I prefer Tyrant's head sculpt, but FT certainly nailed the legs and other proportions quite nicely...but I can't imagine replacing Tyrant for him or the upcoming Abaddon....hell, even an official MP from TT.
His hands are weak, truly, but dat face, cannon choices and overall bad ass-ness of the figure does Galvatron justice in my book. The original G1 and recent Titans Return figures don't even compare.....there's a reason he was my first 3rd party "MP".
Around this time last year I had Tyrant paid for at BBTS but had my PoL turned on so he didn't ship. I ended up cancelling him and Carry for whatever reason and spent my credit on a few Takara MPs I didn't have yet. Compared to Apollyon, which I feel fits in line with MP10, I didn't think Tyrant fit in with MP9 the way this guy SEEMS to (based on the comparison image with their Springer and another comparison of Springer with MP9). For right now, this is my favorite Galvatron. Even though I love my Apollyon I don't know if I can wait for Abaddon from X-Transbots. I've read they've gotten better, but I've been through it with my Apollyon and I don't want to go through that again with my favorite character!!

), so I really want him on my shelf. But, I don't want another Apollyon situation and see the official release come by a year later and blow this attempt out of the water.
I only can get this stuff during December-January, so...should I pull the trigger, or not bother?
If there is one reason I'd get this guy over the Takara release (whenever it eventually happens) it's for the color. I don't want another lavender Galvatron! Dang it!
Am I the only one who likes blurple Galvatrons?! I mean look at this guy!!
And here's a side by side of the two available..
Also, if FansToys OR DX9 wants to print money, they can release the toy deco too so if you wanted to hold off for THAT one and get the Takara MP (which HAS to be coming, just like Megatron eventually did) you'd be set! Here's both in their toy colors..
