SOOOooooo those cards aren't going away any time soon.![]()
I'd still love to see them switching to a resealable version like the Japanese ones. That's still a feasible possibility.
Except no parent in their right mind is buying these at $15 dollars, and the Generations line is more geared towards us than the kiddies.
Comparing TFP Wheeljack to Generations Wheeljack... the TFP version is a tad taller, but a heck of a lot scrawnier. And there's a huge size difference in car mode.orangeitis wrote:I seems to have said that oddly... What I was asking was in the Fall of Cybertron figures are on the the same size ratio as the PRID figures. Because aren't the PRID figures smaller than those lines that came out before them?
Yeah, there's a noticeable difference. Though on the other hand, RiD had small deluxes(Car brothers, Build Team, etc). As did Beast Wars. Maybe we're just spoiled by the A/E/C toy sizes.
Yeah, but you are also talking about the days back when a Deluxe was $10 at the most, and a Mega (Voyager) was $15. That, and each figure was intricately detailed, and had loads more paint apps. I mean, RID Sideburn is almost completely covered in paint.
I'd say the FOC figure are probably more or less PRID sized, but a heck of a lot scrawnier, and $3 more expensive.
