Can someone pleeeeease post a side by side look at the 2 Sixshots...my sincere gratitude!

Both of them are cool, anyways only difference of them is Color, Stickers and Helmets. Headmaster didn't change at all

No the headmaster is definitely different. The Takara one has a pointed chin

I prefer Hasbro's deco decisions but prefer Takara's helmet. Oh, dilemma dilemma.

Or not really because while Takara's helmet is better, Hasbro's helmet is still pretty cool. ... and I'm pretty sure more comic-accurate.

Sixshot had a pretty small forehead brim in the comics:

Sorry double post.

[SureShot18]

When I first saw these I was unimpressed, they seemed to look too much like Hasbro's. But on closer inspection I may end up getting two of them.

Sixshot's new head is killer and I kind of prefer the deco to TR Sixshot. It's sorta bland but in a good way. Misfire looks great in the new muted color and looks a lot closer to MTMTE Misfire. Plus I get to try out one of the new Targetmasters everyone is raving about. Since these probably won't come out till the end of the year, my budget gets a little more breathing room for the time being.

I also appreciate the gray gun instead of clear on Broadside.

[william-james88]

For everybody comparing Misfires, where are you getting your idea of the Hasbro version? As far as I know, we have never seen his finished toy. We saw a (erroneously) painted one and a CG render. None of which give us a clear idea of what the colour will be.

True, true. That said it doesn't have the more inwardly-turned cheekguards either and I'd rather the colours be spot on than small helmet details.

Dr Wu does have an option 3 available

a little upgrade set that would work with either version, and comes with swords

[Nemesis Destron]

Sixshot having blades or swords...I'm guessing that's from the books/comics? I don't read them and I had the G1 figure and it didn't come with any that I recall.

The swords are to tie him better with his ninja motif. Originally that was a Headmaster anime-only thing, but now we can't imagine Sixshot not being one. In fact, all G1 Sixchangers are ninjas in Japan.

I believe someone was wanting to see Cybertron Megatron with Tidal Wave's arms?

[Burn]

I got God Bomber today.

He's an okay figure. Little fiddly, nothing spectacular.

Then I had the great idea to combine him with Super Ginrai.

Thus, I was reminded of how much I **** hate that piece of **** figure. The legs ... gawd I hate those legs.

Here's a tip. Leave the feet until LAST. Do the arms first, then the chest piece, then the legs. The chest piece can be fiddly, but it's even more fiddly when you have to contend with those stupid **** feet and legs. I was on the verge of gluing the tabs on the legs together as they were constantly popping off.

And those feet ... I have no idea what the hell TT were thinking when they designed those feet. Yes, they wanted to integrate God Bomber down the track, but they could have found a better way to do it.

Getting him to pose with all that extra weight up top on those stupid feet ... ugh. Right royal pain in the you-know-where.

TL:DR

God Bomber good - Super Ginrai can go do unmentionable things to itself.

[Evil Eye]

Oh dear. That is a pity. I don't suppose the old floor polish trick could solve it?

I hope the V2 coming with Minerva and Cab fixes the tolerances.

[Burn]

Oh dear. That is a pity. I don't suppose the old floor polish trick could solve it?

If by "will immersing him in floor polish fix him?" you mean "immersing him in floor polish is bound to cause him to melt" then hell yeah that would fix him.

[Evil Eye]

Oh my.

More what I meant was "Will a careful application of floor polish to the joints tighten them up enough for him to stand"...though I suspect you already knew that.

[Agamemnon]

Wow, Burn, tell us how you really feel!

Yeah, based on this feedback (the videos and others, not just Burn....well, maybe just Burn because ==> Burn ), I have a feeling I am going to keep God Ginrai in a single mode on display. Tis disappointing...

[william-james88]

And yet people are contemplating getting the set again just so they can get a Minerva head.

Sorry to hear Burn. But feel beter that we will all undersand your pain one day whenthey realease both of those toys domestically.

I have quite the opposite feelings. I love Ginrai. Yes the feet are a little fiddly, but once you know how to position them they aren't that bad and he can stand o.k.

Goed Bomber on the other hand....


Arms do not want to stay attached. He feels like he's made of lighter cheaper plastic than God Bomber. Headmaster is very unpainted, and those hands are really strangely shaped. Ohh, the sword keeps falling apart, the gun also keeps falling apart, the tip just falls off. It s very hollow (didn't know Takara was saving on plastic now). Just overall disappointed in Godbomber.

I'll see how combining fairs later, and post an update.



He's overall a bit disappointing. I still have not gotten around to combining them, still playing around with him.

He has cheaper plastic than himself?

[ExciKaiser]

That's the proof how cheap it is !

I mean cheaper plastic than Ginrai. Sorry.

I figured, but wanted to have some fun.

A God Bomber set with Minerva is confirmed? Hasbro or Takara?

Takara. It's only a Titan Master of Minerva, as well as Cab. There's also minor toy-accurate redecos done to both Ginrai and Godbomber, but we don't know the full extent of those yet.
