Nice...but what do they look like combined into a camera?

[william-james88]

You don't need HLJ to get it. I previously got the Lio Convoy figure from that release via Amazon.com.

The prices on Amazon are cray-cray though, lol. I want a better figure anyway.

They really werent for those. They were about 45$ when they appeared there. Is that crazy? I mean for a Japanese con exclusive.

To be fair, what the person wants is something both deluxe sized and deluxe priced.

Maybe someone will order 3 and show us

Is DOTM Deluxe Prime ok? I think its a great deluxe figure. Plus, RID has a deluxe Prime out. There is also WFC and FOC deluxe Prime. Now that i think fo it, we have had as many deluxes as voyagers when it comes to Prime.

They did say G1 cartoon accurate. Tbh I kinda want the same thing except Voyager. I adore my Classics Prime but you can't quite beat the elegant, powerful yet simple original design for Optimus. It's incredibly iconic.

I agree. And yeah its kind of crazy how we never did get a G1 accurate prime in Voyager Scale.

Perhaps one day, if we're really good and ask REALLY nicely, Habro and Takara will come through for us.

Until then we'll have to deal with classics Optimus with his awesome redesign, powerful look and great articulation; and CW Optimus who can become an Optimus combiner and has great height and presence to him.
Man our lives suck!

Cy-Kill once said "There's something pathetic about looking to inferior designs of the past and harping on the nostalgia of the outdated."

Though, I don't agree with Cy-Kill.

I do though, fortunately, BW designs are neither inferior, or outdated

and lacking his translucent parts.

They're there. Some of them are just painted over.

I wonder if the purple will match MP-29.

Exactly. I think that his cartoon design is perfect from literally every angle. I'd love a deluxe figure that embodies that, to lead my Legends.

Which Legends would he go with?

I was looking over BW Primal and he is very dated to me, especially how he has no wrists. For a toy of that size, the poseability isnt optimal. In comparison, Cybershark (and thus Hellsream ) have all that articulation, and even less restairined, at the deluxe class and Powerpinch does too at the basic class. And that is super impressive. That toy doesnt feel dated in the least.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

optimal.

Hehe, he said Optimal when referring to Optimus Primal. that was bad, sorry

In comparison, Cybershark (and thus Hellscream

Screamer now has a new buddy to hang out with! And this one swims! Fire and water!

I think Primal aged very well. We still get large toys without wrist articulation today(looking at Leader Seekers and Magnus). Primal is just as poseable as those guys and he seems to be better quality overall. I really love most of my old Beast Wars guys. Wait, what are we talking about again?

Solid points! But I think that the lack of wrists in those leaders you mentionned is a major step back and a negative point towards those toys.

Definitely agree. I think I originally misunderstood your point

I love my Thundercracker and Magnus, aesthetically speaking, but there is plenty about them I would change if I could.

I mean the Takara "Legends".. Arcee and the Headmasters.. along with Hasbro's Skyfire and Powerglide, and whatever other "CHUG" I own.

I have an image in my head of what I'd like and how it might transform; now if only I could create it myself... :)

Hahaha, man I totaly missed that we were discussing this in the Takara Legends thread, yeah that makes sense

"CHUG"

Every time you use that accursed acronym, god eats a kitten.

[Decepticon Stryker]

The more combiners Takara dishes out, the more I want them to just release the separate figures. Personally I think they'll make more money selling the individuals. That, or Hasbro can take time to add a bit more detail to their figures. Don't get me wrong, I find no problems with the Hasbro figures, I'd just prefer some details and some sets (looking at you Grand Galvatron!) to be released in the Americas.
