It's that darn shot of him eating Lithone from earlier in the movie that always throws people off.Stargrave wrote:Yeah I was completely wrong.

A lot of his poses hide them but it would have been nice if they actually went somewhere.
Yeah, those rubber strips really hurt him imo. You can even tell they're rubber in planet mode by how they sit awkwardly. The more I see, the less I want.
You talkin' Bandai of America or Bandai of Japan? Cuz Hasbro had to go through American toy safety regulations.blackeyedprime wrote:Sabrblade wrote:They had to be rubber for safety and durability reasons, guys.

Meh, if it was Bandai they'd be die cast metal spikes (& $2000) and they would go somewhere.

2) The weird elevator music makes this product a must-pass.

Well, he is a planet former, he kind of needs to be complex to properly pull off both modes...
And as for 2.... that may be the worst hot take I have seen, and believe me, I have about smashed my head reading some of them.

His comments make me feel bad for being a detractor.

More than you think actually: the legs sliding out was also shown and, albeit minor and just an assumption, the shoulder shifting into position too. The rest was just filler.

Don't count your chickens before they're hatched, as said in the article, this is just based on the preorders from the Pulse site alone, and doesn't include all the other websites preorders that may be added in before the final date.
