Its double the cost.
And now that they are on amiami, they are as easy to get as any other figure out there at a similar price too. So I can now ask myself: do I actually want these. Would I buy these if I saw them in stores? And the answer is no (at least not at full retail price). I hope no one thinks less of me but I only know Blackarachnia of the three. While getting the arcee mold would be fun, I have no clue who that character is, and I would rather have arcee in that mold before another character. As for Slipstream, I have somewhat of an idea and the Generations Jetfire mold has made me less apprehensive about fake chests but I greatly dislike the windblade mold so that’s a no as well.
And now, for Blackarachnia, I find it a bit redundant. Dont get me wrong, I dearly want a Generations Blackarachnia.
She is literally my number one pick. But, I already have a blackarachnia figure based on this mold: animated Blackarachnia. And she is obviously way more show accurate to her animated counterpart than this redeco/retool would be to beast wars. To me this isn’t that different from the upcoming RID Grimlock toy redeco’d in G1 colors (who is also a slight retool). More of an homage than an actual generations blackarachnia. The only difference is that it is done years later. And I really don’t like those mandibles in alt mode. Those reasons take a bit of excitement out of this figure. I am still hopeful for a full fledged new Blackarachnia figure (and Terrorsaur) and I really hope this figure isn’t made knowing there isn’t a new mold coming out in the next 5 years (come on, next year is the 20th anniversary of Beast Wars!).
