Which is... odd, to say the least.

I could easily think of at least two, maybe three things which would make better goals (the Rescue Team Micromasters - a third of which could even be recolors of Siege Stakeout & Red Heat -; a figure of Jan - either with his manga Victories armor and a figure of Patty, or a tranformable Illumina II he could drive -; maybe the Multiforce, but with the level of engineering required, that would be pushing the budget).
I just hope they don't hide a much better 3rd tier that won't be unlocked because this one discouraged the backers.

That is weird Do we have any idea on the estimate of Unicrons that were ordered through TTM?

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

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

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

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.
