HasTak REALLY should have made Hun-gurr bigger, to fix some of these issues, but as it stands, this set felt incredibly CHEAP and FLIMSY to me.
You guys can go ahead and import the Takara version, or even look for the Target sets, but you're in for some disappointment...

You can tell just by looking at what you have to work with for connections that it's a "snap and display" figure only. It's pure novelty not, functionality, at least for this size range. They would have had to given connector accessories like what they have for the Micromaster Combiners to make this thing truly functional.
This is not, however, going to make me shy away from buying whichever version I can lay my hands on first. I want this, flimsy or not. What irks me is that the U.S. versions will, as always, look like ass compared to the Asian releases. The color schemes are horrid compared to it's over-seas counterpart but since I dig the animal modes I'm willing to make the trade off.
The difference here being that, unlike G2 Bruticus, this isn't colored like Abominus because it's not supposed to be Abominus. It's a completely separate character.Rated X wrote:Eeeewwwwww.....
For once it's not Hasbro who picks the ugliest color scheme. Now Japan knows how we felt here in the US when we got "Fruiticus"

Yeah, I think he looks better without them since the weapons look kinda sloppily tacked on in their beast modes, and my Target version of Abominus is starting to show stress marks from all the weapon holding he's been doing.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:fenrir72 wrote:Only disappointment I feel is that the Tomy version has no weapons.
Does he even need them?

Being a brawler =/= being competent.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Plus, Goradora is kind of a brawler in the cartoon anyway, using brawler-style fighting moves that don't require weapons anyway.
Yet he gets his ass kicked every day of the week

btw how is Goradora's right hand portrayed as? simply as Barara's/Windrazor's beak, or the head plus the arms a la Garara/Twinstrike?
