Anyway, I really like these figures (particularly Megatron), but it still doesn't appeal to me. Call me when we get Transmutate, Sari or Autobot X.
And I hope they eventually retool Megs into his Unicron form. I'm still waiting on a show-accurate version of that, and RED's replacement weapons/hands would really fit for his Dark Energon weaponry.

While not gummy, the delicate feel of the RED figures, combined with all the swappable parts and accessories, makes them remind me a lot of S.H. Figuarts figures. Particularly, the two that I own are the red and gold Shinkengers that Bandai of America imported to Toys R' Us stores factoring Power Rangers Samurai, and both they and the RED toys feel equally as fragile as one another. Like they're display pieces not meant to be played with, instead of mere plaything toys.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Sabrblade wrote:It almost feels like RED is being worked on by a completely different production team.
It really does, I honestly can't think of another line that is close to it in terms of quality/build/etc. I collect Marvel Legends, Black Series, and Plasma series, and none of those 3 feel anywhere near like these do. And the regular figures, cyberverse, SS, Legacy/WFC, have this same feel or gummy-ness either

Well, I can't speak for any other S.H. Figuarts, but my Shinken Red and Shinken Gold feel very delicate, with very similar joints to those of RED Knock Out.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Sabrblade wrote:While not gummy, the delicate feel of the RED figures, combined with all the swappable parts and accessories, makes them remind me a lot of S.H.

i have the S.H. Figuarts Infinity Snap Iron Man, and I would disagree, the Figuarts feels much more solid than these do, and the joints actually function as they should. The amount of force you have to use to get the RED joints to do what you want and stop someplace should not be as great as it is

My Walmarts are only just now selling the Galvatron and Shockwave wave, along with a very belated Reformatted Megatron. A triple threat of purple villains.chuckdawg1999 wrote:I would buy more but Galvatron disappeared very quickly and so did Shockwave. Just like the Super7 figures.

That's why I said "feels like".william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:It almost feels like RED is being worked on by a completely different production team.
That's not the case?
