Ah damn, thats really too bad. Many of us thought they would suck but we were at least hoping to be proven wrong, which has been a trend lately (like MP Ironhide). But here it ends up being what we thought it would be and thats too bad.
Also, those feet are very different from the original and a completely new take on it, the original was totally different and anyone who uses that to defend for this has no clue what the original looked like. This is a new take on the feet and a bad one at that. I am very sorry you arent happy with your purchase though, especially with how expensive he was.
I'm not totally dissatisfied with him but he definitely wasn't what I was expecting. As far as price goes though I paid $180 shipped for all three so while it's more than the Hasbro versions it's still $50 cheaper than buying off of like tfsource or something.
I'm wondering how much the God Bomber add on will (hopefully) improve this figure. Of course, at the same time, for as much as he costs, Ginrai should be able to stand on his own as a good figure without it.

First, just 1 feedback. If you've got one on the way, well you have to live with it purchase.
Second, no worries, Ginrai is all sold out if not on the way to being sold out. No need to spend on a clunker at secondary market prices.
Third. I have a feeling of dejavu like that of MP IH and Hotrodimus. Both were "awful" molds.

We'll have to wait and see what they'll do with these skipped heads:
Grimlock
Flywheels
Lightfoot (Getaway)
Orion Pax
Gong (Brawn)
Alpha Trin
Cerebros (US)

To say nothing of the torrent of future Titan Masters from wave 4 and beyond. Takara Tomy would never be able to keep up with their scattered release schedule.

That's why they skip
Out of the future releases, I'm expecting these releases to be held back or skipped:
Titan Master Class
Sawback (until Shuffler and the rumored Trizer are released)
Brawn (see below)
Overboard (redeco? Skip!)
Legends Class
Roadburn (aka Chase, Freeway or Searchlight/Looklight, depending on who you ask)
Brawn (unless there's a pretooled Outback head in there)
Deluxe Class
Breakaway
Voyager Class
Optimus Prime (in favor of Octane/Octone)
Megatron (in favor of Blitzwing)

Never once did I say it was an awful mold. I simply made comments about how there are some problems with this mold so others have realistic expectations. Not everything Takara does is perfect.

Or Takara could completely throw us a curveball and release Legends class Brawn with Titan Master Brawn in the same set!JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Kurona wrote:Wait, why would they skip Brawn?
I suspect Gong/Brawn will be an either/or situation: either his Titan Master Class, or his Legends Class figure will be released, with the other skipped or repurposed. The only way both can be released is if the Legends Class figure is pretooled into Fallback (aka Outback. Curse you, steakhouse!).

Well, I meant, with both toys as Brawn in a sort of 'Brawn-ception" kind of deal.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Or Takara could completely throw us a curveball and release Legends class Brawn with Titan Master Brawn in the same set!JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Kurona wrote:Wait, why would they skip Brawn?

God Ginrai's there too, in the same panel as Lightfoot.fenrir72 wrote:All I see are Roadking and Ranger in the first panel. And Grand, Lightfoot and Minerva. Then the holo of the new Super Ginrai fig.
As God Ginrai is wearing Godbomber in that comic, the new Legends Godbomber may end up being a duplicate built in the Legends world.fenrir72 wrote:Until we see GODBOMBER in his comic. That comic you are showing doesn't show GODBOMBER yet. I'll let the author sort out the details first.
I'm honestly not expecting Takara to make their own Lightfoot version of the Hasbro Getaway/Breakaway figure since the only thing about that toy that is truly inherent of Getaway/Lightfoot is its face, which doesn't resemble Lightfoot's cartoon face anyway. So if Takara ends up making a new Lightfoot face, then they'd be discarding the one thing about the Hasbro version that already looks like Getaway/Lightfoot, as the body itself is just Chromedome in Getaway colors, and that may not be up to Takara's G1-faithful standards.fenrir72 wrote:Are the Cybertrons just into the habit of just making doubles of their warriors? Shuta has a new head, what then about the sentient 'bot? Oops, just a head no body. Will the upcoming Getaway/Lightfoot also get the same "you get another version of yourself" in this new universe again.

It's akin to that incident in GiTS where copying the sentience from the original all but brain fried the template. Almost expendable like nonchalance bordering to unnerving.
Also, Overlord is knocking on the door, will he be that same "Overlord" that will take on the upcoming Blackshadow/Skyshadow mold or another "duplicate". Now, he's a "single" headmaster not a double godmaster anymore? Will Devil Z's presence have the same effect on the godmasters losing/ acquiring sentience?
Though, based on the prototype suit of the original Nightbeat, who is a detective in the Legends universe.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:The Nightbeat suit is the mass-produced generic model.

Road King, Ranger and the rest are stationed in G Nebula 89 in the G1 Universe, as the comic says. They're the living Transtectors as seen later in Victory, with no human bonding whatsoever. The hologram is for the "Super Convoy" project, a second attempt to revive Optimus Prime with a new body. That was the original intent of the Transtector that ultimately ended up with Ginrai, and history repeats itself in the Legends Universe.Are the Cybertrons just into the habit of just making doubles of their warriors? Shuta has a new head, what then about the sentient 'bot? Oops, just a head no body.

The bodies built in the Legends Universe by the Axalon company, like on Planet Master, are non-living, and they were commissioned for a reason. In the prologue, the Headmasters as well as several others lost their bodies due to the Blackball incident which made them shrink and pop out of existence. Strangely, their heads were unaffected.
The Master Braces used by the Jrs. are created by the same company based on the originals, but with different suit designs. The Nightbeat suit is the mass-produced generic model.It's akin to that incident in GiTS where copying the sentience from the original all but brain fried the template. Almost expendable like nonchalance bordering to unnerving.
The Godmaster and Headmaster Jr. Transtectors gaining true life is a bit more mystical than that. Then again, anything in SGMF is.
Also, Overlord is knocking on the door, will he be that same "Overlord" that will take on the upcoming Blackshadow/Skyshadow mold or another "duplicate". Now, he's a "single" headmaster not a double godmaster anymore? Will Devil Z's presence have the same effect on the godmasters losing/ acquiring sentience?
The Overlord shown is, again, the original now-living Transtector, and has been waging war since gaining life and leaving earth at the end of SGMF. The Devil Z shown seems to be have been "dumbed down" compared to the G1 version of him.
One thing that must be kept in mind about the Legends Universe:
It's not considered a proper G1 Universe!
Instead, it's been designated a Iocus universe, which is Latin for "joke".
Well...JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Speaking of the Zodiac, there is nothing to suggest it created the Legends Universe: that's all the Zamojin's doing, from "The Face of the Nijika".

Super Convoy would be my guess. Sakamoto could even try to tie it in with the Super Convoy blueprints seen in the Shockwave & Cancer prequel.chuckdawg1999 wrote:For what it's worth, my gut tells me in May we're going to see a nice gift set of Super Ginrai and Godbomber as well as the single Godbomber release. The gift set will be the only re-release of Ginrai and might have some new/special added in. Now here's the big question, if they do a black repaint of Super Ginrai, will it be released as Super Ginrai or Nucleon Quest Convoy?
