On the plus side, all of the limb-bots look great, so a Third Party company could really just make a Deluxe-sized Leozack and Jallguar that combined into the torso like the original Liokaiser, and I'm sure they would do well.

Liokaiser is my favorite Combiner of them all and this actually kinda brings him to shame...

Platinums are still retail, just exclusive to a particular retailer. But its still retail. I am estimating 150$ for this set and then it will lower to 100$ from whichever retailer has it (either Target or Amazon) and that will make it about the same price people bought the other combiners at. I have no doubt people will be able to get this guy for 100$ in the end.
And I am surprized at how positive people are, even the more "negative" opinions.
As optimistic as I sometimes am, I think the combiner is a failure.
I wil say that I love the 2 jet arms, the headsculpts are awesome especially Fellbat. Thats wicked.
But I hate that brawl mold and is not like they changed anything to it aside from th headsculpts (unless I am wrong).
But to me the big slap on the face is the torso. Frankly, this doesnt look anything like Liokaiser. This is Liokaiser:
What the **** is this?
That **** looks nothing like Liokaiser. They actually had a lionhead for the torso, and they paint it Black?! That unpainted plastic face looks bad too, it doesnt have that evil look Liokaiser usually has. It looks really off. Plus, the torso is all wrong. I have no clue why they couldnt just paint the chest all green to simulate the plane front. The black makes no sense there too. This looks like a third party toy doing a Neo G1 look to avoid copy right.
And Dezaurus looks like crap too. Skylynx at elast turned from a shuttle to a dinosaur bird but with these colours, that doesnt look like an alt mode in the least. It looks weird and goofy as all hell, making it totally useless. So all we end up with that is of any value with dezaurus is his "beast" mode (which looks nothing lik Deathsaurus) and a torso mode which looks nothing like Liokaiser's torso.
And he doesnt even come with the weapon on his box.
Wipe that smile off your face!

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

I'm not like drop dead happy with this, but I'm okay with it being around for an option, and as a bridge to help introduce people to Japanese G1 that may not know anything about it.

Well, if Super Ginrai is any indication, there's always hope with Takara. Seems they'll go the extra mile if it means making the figure better.

Actually gotta make it a three pack now, because we're missing Jagular or however you say it... so helicopter, a jet, and some kind of car... Plus an arms micron set to go with them to represent each of the animals (including the original sets' bots).
Still, it's nice to see this effort made.

It's a shame TFCC wraps up this year. TFSS 6.0 would be exactly the right outlet for those three

I was thinking that too. Maybe the next iteration of the club can do it?
