I can at least trust if they make Brainstorm without a faceplate I won't want it. That's just not right to me
I could see Takara giving Brainstorm a new mouthed head for two reasons: 1) show-accuracy to The Headmasters cartoon, and 2) Japan already got a mouthplated Brainstorm with the Voyager mold, so a mouthed version of the Deluxe mold would be something different for that market.Wolfman Jake wrote:Kurona wrote:Huh, I didn't realize this guy had a different head with a mouth.

Yeah, it's going to be interesting to see how things play out with Brainstorm. He did have a mouth in the "Headmasters" cartoon, but he's more iconic to me with the mouthplate. I think the decoes between Hasbro and Takara will play a big part in which face type I choose, though if it does end up that Takara has a vastly superior deco (odds are in favor of this, honestly) sporting his full face, I'll have to go that route. At least with IDW in recent years we've seen Brainstorm a few times with his mouthplate removed, revealing his mouth underneath. So, there IS precedence for the mouthplate-less look in some western G1 media.

Hey, the faceplate is removable in IDW

Kurona wrote:Every picture I see of Skullcruncher just makes me want him more and more. I **** need that crocodile.
Also... starting to not like the Takara Hardhead as much. I was thinking of it at first because mouth, but the colours are waaaaaay too saturated; they need to be a bit darker than they are to fit.
Thanks!MGrotusque wrote:These side by side comparisons pics that are being posted are absolutely fantastic. Thanx for taking the time and doing this. It's extremely helpful in my decision making process.
Takara Skullcruncher all the way. The headmaster face is 100% better plus they painted the croc teeth. Nice touch.
DeceptiCobra wrote:Ok, so maybe I just haven't looked hard enough, but besides the paint jobs, what are the differences between Takara and Hasbro? It looks like they come with extra weapons.
I think it has to do with safety concerns. The guns have to be big enough to not be considered choking hazards small enough for children to swallow.Cyberpath wrote:Too bad Takara didn't redo the guns, too. I don't know why Hasbro made them so big and gappy. Wouldn't making them smoother and smaller use the same amount of plastic..?
