"foreign" meaning "Hasbro" version.
Typical Takara placeholders.

At last, now we know. I was pretty sure there weren't any real differences between Takara's solicitation and Hasbro's stock photography. It'll be interesting to see what Takara does with the deco. I wonder if they'll bother to release the "Armada" version as well. Might they go the extra mile and retool it to put the cannon on his hip?
Takara seems to be avoiding releasing retools of molds from the same line in their Japanese Generations lines lately.Wolfman Jake wrote:It'll be interesting to see what Takara does with the deco.

But we've seen how it sizes up to MP-10. It's shorter.Metro Prime wrote:*squeee* Holy crap, 25 centimeters! That's actually slightly taller than MP-10!

For the fans of the imperial system, 25 cm is roughly 10 inches.
It is very possible that HLJ was counting the height added by the treads on the figure's back, which can be raised above the figure's head.Metro Prime wrote:Exactly. MP-10 is 9.5 inches, and that comparison photo is tiny, squashed horizontally, and not at a great angle.

We dont know if thats the deco Takara will go for since they are using the Hasbro version for pictures right now. For all we know, we might be in a time of reversal where it is Hasbro who has the shinier finishes, which was the case with Jetfire.

Shouldnt these be posted on the Generations thread instead? Because this isnt the Takara version.
Yeah, they may be of the Hasbro version, but they're being used to promote the Takara toy.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:william-james88 wrote:Cyberpath wrote:Larger photos from Amazon Japan, click to enlarge:

The listing should be for the TakaraTomy one, but the images are of the Hasbro version, used as placeholders. Common practice.

The listing itself is what's important, and the images we got did come from Takara rather than Hasbro.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Yeah, they may be of the Hasbro version, but they're being used to promote the Takara toy.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:william-james88 wrote:Cyberpath wrote:Larger photos from Amazon Japan, click to enlarge:

Sure, but placed above up there without the listing and no other context, it is just a big picture of a toy that is not part of this thread. There is no difference between that post and me posting a bigger picture of Hasbro's Sky Byte.

Are we talking about the same thing here^ This post has no listing, just a bigger picture of a toy that should be elsewhere.
