When searching for the TTM link, I came across posts in the Unicron thread saying "Ryan confirmed on the latest Twincast Podcast (available here!) that Takara Tomy Mall orders would NOT count towards the HasLab campaign total."o.supreme wrote:That is what I figured as well, (about TT Mall), but did they crowdfund and add to Pulses numbers on a regular basis, or did they just order a fixed amount for the Japanese market, and then they all got added at once?
Which is... odd, to say the least.

I just hope they don't hide a much better 3rd tier that won't be unlocked because this one discouraged the backers.

Well, Star Saber is roughly Siege Jetfire sized, and while I haven't handled the mold yet (planning to get the SG version), I heard from my friend that he was too heavy for most of the single stands he has, and looked too unstable on the stands that did hold the weight

That is weirdDo we have any idea on the estimate of Unicrons that were ordered through TTM?
I seem to recall that near the end they changed their tune and counted the TTM numbers towards the total. I recall the podcast Saber linked, and thought that sometime later than that they changed things up. But then again, everything about the Unicron campaign was bit of a mess.

Furthermore, Victory Saber will be much heavier than Siege Jetfire.
That dedicated stand is a must.

I mean, Galactus cost $400. Now admittedly, 2 of the stretch goals included Marvel Legends figures, so that is about $20 each, or $40 total (so roughly 10% of the cost) Plus a molded Dr. Doom head (dumb
If we use the same comparison however, for Victory Saber and the stretch Goals, that would be an added $27.00. (or roughly 15%) Now that could get us, a little less than 3 sets of 2, or 6 Micromasters total. But we already know 2 of the stretch goals, so that isn't happening
I've looked at stands online, my son is in fact getting one for his Gundam Model kids, a much simpler one costs $10, so let's say the Victory Saber Stand would be about $20, and the V-Lock cannon roughly $7, that already matches proportionately ALL the bonuses offered with Galactus. Tier 3 Could very well be improvements to the design of Victory Saber itself. I am still hoping for even just 1 Micromaster, but we will see. I would think that even a Micromaster would be less expensive to produce (since they already have the molds) than a static inaction human figure that is brand new.

Ah, that explains it. Makes a lot more sense now. Still feels like it should be the last tier and save the second for something else, though, but that's just my opinion.

That's unfortunate, but I'm perfectly content with it since it means the arm will be clear. Wish the base was painted though

The stand can also be used with the robot mode. So if it's better thought-out than the MP Dinobot's hands-me-down included with MP Screamers 2.0, it would allow some fancy posing.

Is this superior to the masterpiece version? I think the masterpiece looks better, but I've never handled it.

Most people say that once this HASLAB is out, the MP will be pretty much pointless.

Nope. Just turned out to be a podcast Sabat hosted to ask Hasbro some questions about this toy since he'd never heard of Star Saber before and was curious when he found out it was from an anime.o.supreme wrote:Probably way to much to hope that Hasbro would actually sanction a new licensed/approved English dub of Headmasters-Victory.
BUT, they did reveal the first full-color renders of the toy.
