Yeah, the differences are minimal, but noticeable went placed side-by-side (though, the Titan Master's deco is completely different).ZeroWolf wrote:Thanks for answeringI had a break from collecting at that point so I missed the news of the boxsets, I never realised the decos were so close to be the same.

I think Transfans rank second only to Star Wars fans for whiny-ness if things aren't EXACTLY the way they should be...aka not G1 enough.
I agree. This looks like it's going to be a fun figure. And honestly, the price point isn't that far off based on its size. One figure is pretty much Commander class sized and the other is Leader class sized...PLUS you get a small deluxe. So Commander at $80, Leader at $55, and deluxe at $25. The total is is $160 and we invested $190. That's perfect...the extra is for custom packaging.
Nope. Third. G.I. Joe fans are far worse than Transformers fans, and it makes sense to a degree. Marvel Legends fans are probably about even.![]()
(Though, the latter's constant complaints are arguably justified.)
Hot Wheels and Nerf fans are the worst by a long, long mile.
One thing I forgot to mention is the leg storage for the blade reminded me of something, another toy that shared some design cues from Star Saber.
King Exkiser.
I can see Takara retooling Star Saber into a new modern King Exkiser.
Can they though? Bandai owns the BRAVE series, I think they might have something to say about it

Having the animation rights alone doesn't allow Bandai to make toys and Takara Tomy would never let Bandai have the toy license if they still had those rights. When Bandai bought Sunrise Takara relinquished their rights to the franchise.

This is what I thought the case was.

Really, I was under the impression Bandai has owned Sunrise for a while, and during that time Takara did release new Brave product. Does this mean that Takara can never reissue the original toys?

Not without a reference to their media that Bandai owns... btw They're no longer officially called "Sunrise"; they're now Bandai Namco Filmworks, with Sunrise as a brand name.

Sigh, I should've been happy with what I have now, now I have no choice.

It's Bandai that's doing all Brave toy production now, and the animation as a base is all they need (I suspect Takara still owns the original molds). For now outside of SoC GaoGaiGar they're limiting it to the Super Minipla aka Shokugan Model Project candy kits. The GaoGaiGar, Fighbird and Dagwon series have seen kits released, some with alternate anime-accurate parts for swapping out (which the GGG bots are really guilty of).

That may be true for run-of-the-mill toys.
But here, it's a highly premium product that is meant for hardcore collectors. Many will never even open the box. And for those who open it, NO ONE will dare throwing out the packaging.
So yeah. I think your "most" are either made up, or you're not a backer nor are used to buy premium collector things.
