360 degrees..........how times have changed. Wayyyyyyyyy back when henkei first made it debut a lot of people were complaining about the chrome, like no one would even touch the series with a 10 foot pole, now? Everyone has to admit henkei's presentation adds a certain flavor in the mix. It really looks great so I only wish there'd be a ceasefire on how Universe is better than henkei and vice-versa.

Me I'm just freakin' hyped for my unit to arrive ASAP. :P

How do Takara manage to choose a colour that changes so much with different lighting?

I don't know how much you've studied photography or taken an interest in it but I'll tell you that lighting is a major factor in how the same thing can look different in different pictures. You ever see the episode of Seinfeld were Jerry's girlfriend "looked different" depending on how the light and shadow hit her? It's exactly like that.

Seinfeld? No. Just no.

Yeah, I know lighting can make a difference :roll: but pink to blue? That's a bit of a jump.

The best way to describe Cyclonus's color is light purple or lavendar. A shade lighter than Henkei Galvatron.

I've taken another picture with natural light and no flash. This is a more representation of his color. Sorry for the crappy picture. My digital camera has a tiny aperature.

Te purple is too light so that kinda sucks. I will just get both and keep the one i like best when i have them in hand. The other i will give away or keep just for novelty sake.

GTFO with your elitism and ignorance. I hate to break it to you but just because you have a higher post count then I do doesn't give you the right to judge me or assume I'm wrong.

I've gotta be honest, I have no idea what Loki's problem is. As far as I can see, he can't explain what's wrong with what I said so he's resorted to some bizarre argument about me using a higher post count to belittle him. I have no clue how that would work. "Ha! I've been on this site longer than you, so therefore you are wrong!" :?

I probably read into it wrong. Text devoid of emotion can be taken differently by different people. I was assuming you were making some kind of attack on me. If you weren't I apologize. But basically the only way to properly explain why that toy looks different in pictures is to drag in a photographer and get him to confirm I was right.

I still don't understand what your point is. As I've said, I understand that lighting can affect how something looks in a photo. My point, that you seem to be going out of your way to miss in favour of your "ZOMG!!! HOW DARE YOU USE YOUR POST COUNT AGAINST ME!!!" insanity, is that the figure looks radically different in different shots. Not a "hmm, just how red is Sideswipe?" difference, but a "Hey, Cyclonus looks to be a completely different colour!" difference.

Why do I care? Because I, along with a lot of other people, are very unlikely to ever see this thing in shops. It's kinda difficult to decide whether to buy the thing or not when you don't know what colour you're going to get until you open the thing. I for one don't want to drop cash on something only to open it and go "Huh, that is lavender. Bugger."

Because people get unnecessarily wound up about toys. And you just said you've never seen it in person yourself, and I haven't either. But the two people in this thread that have them and have posted pictures say that the color discrepancies in the pictures are caused by optical illusion due to lighting and flash. I'm not going to hate on it until I have it in my hands. And then assuming I'm still posting on this board if you want I can take pictures of it and post it for you.

And if you're concerned you're not going to like it until you know what it looks like in person don't buy it. Or sucker a friend into buying one.

So let me get this straight: my point was that this figure looks different depending on lighting. Your point is that this figure looks different depending on lighting. Do I have that right?

I get wound up about toys and I have a really high post count.

The point is, I am very handsome.

Get back on topic.

Just picked it up today. It's pretty light purple, but it looks good. That's my two cents.

I'm super annoyed that I left America before Animated Swindle came out and he still hasn't arrived in Japan.

I actually want both versions but decided I'm going to pass on the Henkei version of Cyclonus in order to get the Henkei version of Smokescreen.

Might be a bit of a wait...Dinobot, Hot Road, Ratchet and Inferno all have their sillouettes appear in the previews section of the mini-manga; no sign of the third Datsun brother.

I am the biggest Cyclonus fan there is. I have the original G 1 complete I have the Jizaitoys which best represents Cyclonus and I have two Univ. Cylonus' and I have the Henkei on pre-order. Henkei blasts the universe line to hell. The colors on Universe are made up colors while the Henkei are cartoon accurate. The bottom line is I am the Son -of-Jor-El!
