It's not unpainted, but they're definitely not painted the same way. If you look just a little above the rear tires where the forearms meet the lower legs you can see the white paint from the bot mode lower legs peeking through. Other difference include the feet in bot mode are gray, but the feet in truck mode are blue and gray. In truck mode the parts the wings attach to are blue, but gray in bot mode. The bird is blue on the figure (which appears to be accurate), but blue and red off the figure. I think the bot mode is closer to the final figure while the truck mode is an earlier test version. Similar to the odd color differences seen in the UW Combaticon set so far.

Autobase Aichi has the first stock pics for upcoming Transformers Adventure figures TAV 38 Thunderhoof and TAV 39 Quillfire.

These are the Takara Tomy versions of Hasbro's Warrior Thunderhoof and Quillfire, who recently got the gallery teatment.

As can be seen below, they do both sport some slight deco differences, let us know whch version you preffer!

These should be available in March.

Yup, definitely like those ones over Hasbro's.

Those look awesome!

Hooray for paint!

Wow, both of these blow the hasbro releases away, they're gorgeously painted

I'll definitely get the Hasbro version of Thunderhoof. The blue looks so much better.
With Quillfire I am a bit undecided. I like the Hasbro color scheme better but the gold on Takara's looks realy cool and they gave him his symbol. But I'm sure labels will fix that and I can give him some gold and other paint details on my own.
Yeah, I'll stick to Hasbro this time.

I do preffer the blue on Hasbro's thunderhoof (I dont get Takara's angle of making him overly colourful), but I like how Takara extends his head with blue paint vertically, it works much better. An my huge problems with the doors is fixed in vehicle mode. So its a toss up. Of course, I will probably stick with hasbo if only for it costing me less since i can find it at a decent discount.

If it wasn't for the stupid antler-head, I would get Thunderhoof in an instant.

But isnt that the whole point of the character?

I like the character even though I don't watch the show. The antlers look pretty nice to me.

I agree. It's the whole reason I will pick him up. If I ever see him.

He would only have been better in green...

That sure is a lot of unpainted detail and/or show-inaccuracy on the Hasbro versions:

Only for americans

Amiami is for the whole world and now there is no way I can get these for too cheap. There is HLJ though. Bah, I will just stick with Hasbro, I collect the cons more for their interesting designs than their deco (since that is all the auobots have, and boy was it lacking bad with some).

One thign I noticed, the discount is not the same. It's now only 25% and not 30%. And I checked, nippon yassan and big in japan dont carry these tav figures. So its only amiami and HLJ for japan retailers selling internationally.

Hey woah, speak of the devil, here is the HLJ Preorder

http://hlj.com/product/tkt84374

Same price as Amiami
