Serious question: How many 3rd party items out there honestly do try to "hold true to the source material" compared the vast amount of those that instead try for completely unique "Classics-style updated Neo-G1" designs that aren't rooted in any official fiction?misfire19d wrote:I will pay $100+ for one third party figure that holds true to the source material and the Hoo polloi can ware their six months of allowance on this kibble.

The original G1 dinobot molds are GONE and they will never be rebuilt. Either get over it, or buy KOs.

You know what your problem is? You can't dissociate your dislike for these figures with statements that demean those that do. Not cool.

We all know the Hasbro team reads these threads. This is much more effective than a strongly worded email.
Combiner Wars Aerialbots, Stunticons, Protectobots and the soon to come Combaticons are great. I love them. These dinobots might as well be gumball machine prizes.

Sorry to disagree with you brother. I have no care for the AOE Dinobots in G1 colours. And I'd much rather give my money to Hasbro, than the likes of Zhong Jin, in terms of G1 reissues. I feel it's a common myth that the original molds (or at least the closest approximations) are completely and utterly truly gone, or cannot be redone somehow. It's just a myth, I tell you!?
Not that I'm going to wage war over my tiny opinion. My interest in this is only academic. Cheers.![]()

Well, I guess since you're quoting me (and taking it completely out of context) that, I am no kid. I am not telling you to like it, nor am I telling you to buy, or that, in not doing so, you are less of a fan.
My problem is with the posters telling saying that we are wrong to like these, that they don't deserve to be made, and that - by extension - my sense of aesthetics are not only wrong, but are harmful to your G1 purist horse sh!t.
I like these figures, I liked them from the movie line, and I like the new heads on them. Hasbro isn't trying to pass these off as the be all, end all dinobots, they're just trying to throw you a bone while they're combiner line is going. They could have just not made them, but then people (myself included) would be disappointed that this wasn't around because they like this sort of thing.

Both convey similar messages, but one is a reasonable and civil opinion, while the other is just spite.

I never wrote that. You have an integrity issue. Some of you are taking this too personally. Don't get so butt-hurt because I think these dinobots look awful. Bayformers are ugly.

It's not a "myth" nor an opinion, it's a fact. Building new molds from scratch cost a lot of money and HasTak will never invest that kind of money for 5 or 6 molds just to please a handful of customers. They must MAKE money, not lose it. Why do you think repaints and slight remolds is so prevalent with Transformers? Because they need to make a PROFIT. They are not a charity to cater to you lil' princess needs.![]()

I was paraphrasing the Tl;Dr quote, of course.
And you should defenitely get over the Bay-hating. It's getting old and embarassing. Move on.

I hate mash potatoes. Does that mean mash potatoes are sh|t and it should be my mission to remove them from the world? Hell no.
The general concensus of the AOE dinobots gave them great reviews. "Poor taste"? In your own little world, maybe. "Immature"? Look who's projecting.
All right, there's enough kindlings lying all around. I'll be ignoring you from now on, before everything start BURNing.
