Pass!
Neither the Hercules or maketoys devestator interest me & I can't justify spending $300 to $600 on this combined toy. the character isn't on my top 10 updated homage new mold list.
Regarding maketoys devestator,
Why go thru the trouble of creating smaller sized constructicons than hercules. if your gonna charge the same price or more than hercules??
I suspose to some size scale matters & maketoys devestator is their favorite. I just don't know that many willing to spend higher prices than 3rd party hercules.
Personally,I like the maketoys devestator more than the Hercules one. i'm all about size scale & these maketoys constructicons look to be deluxes or tall basics.
I don't understand why they'd pick a less desirable color scheme for their 3rd party devestator, like G-2 Yellow. the majority of transformers fans love the 1984 iconic lime green devestator colors the best.
Granted I can sorta understand later on. milking the mold for more cash by creating limited run color variations like G-2 Yellow,G-2 Oroange,Diaclone multi colors,etc...
My guess is 3rd party hercules might do a few color variations later on in limited production numbers. maybe even a huge gift set later on.
Personally with the price & colors of maketoys devestator. I don't see that many selling thus I don't see any recolors or gift sets being made afterwards.
