Oh don't you worry Chuck ol' pal, that big blaster is loaded with 5 mil ports! And every body comes with something to stick on it. It's gonna be AWESOME!

The real trick is going to find a way for King Poseidon to be fully assembled and holding all the accessories in some fashion :-D

The 'Ultra' form has an assymetrical chest but the image we've seen of the robot mode has a symmetrical one.

i bet the chest can flip around to show different detail :-?

The pectoral area, but not the abdomen. I'm calling that.

To the one who asked about the Headmaster: no, that feature has been removed.

Sat Apr 04, 2020 5:49 pm

Anyone here who has King Poseidon also have God Ginrai?

Seems plausible.

I think I finally realized what was putting me off about this figure, does anyone else feel that he seems overly broad-chested?

Yes and I believe there is a 'hidden' transformation gimmick in there.

I have God Ginrai (Well Magnus Prime & Legends God Bomber)

, and 2/3 of King Poseidon, , just waiting on the last 2 from TF Source. I'll take some pics once I get them, but assembled God Ginrai is about the same height as the standard Generations Combiner, or Siege Jetfire.

So God Ginrai and King Poseidon will be about the same height.

I know (my own Apex Optimus/God Ginrai - also a Magnus Prime+Godbomber combo - stands on my dresser along with SIEGE Skyfire, Orthia, and Volcanicus), which is perfect :-D

They'll be the right size to throw down with each other.

I already called it on 4/1.

Emerje wrote:His chest changed too, can't quite tell if the figure can do that too.

The reason why I said I couldn't quite tell is because the chest details stick out below the chest and I wasn't sure how that would translate to the other chest if it's spun around since there are no matching details on one side. I can't believe it can't, it wouldn't be in the manga if it can't, right?

I have both the original and the new God Ginrai with God Bomber. And the new one is upgraded with PC-15, 16 and 18. I also have G1 Commemorative Piranacon.

And I'm receiving next tuesday or wednesday all of Generation Selects King Poseidon.

Will be nice to compare all of these guys besides each others.

Sat Apr 04, 2020 10:37 pm

PC-18 is an overall worthless downgrade with only two useful pieces., but this isn't the forum for that.

I look forward to the pictures

They look great together!

Edit: combined them, couldn't be happier!

Wish the hand connection was stronger, doesn't take much to make the hand, and Overbite with it, to fall off, but everything else is great!
Sorry about the rotated picture, don't know how to fix it!

is the connection with the sword tips strong? I tried to see how they mount to turtlers sword, but couldn't figure it out

They are, at least for me. They have little notches inside the bottom and there are two tab-like parts on the tip of the sword and they encase around that!

Yeah the sword was a bit tricky for me also especially since it isn't in the instructions, but you can partially assemble it even if you only have the first 4. Just get a good clear pic of the sword and you can figure it out.

C'mon TF Source.... hopefully soon they get the last 2 soon

Wait, Hasbro couldn't be bothered in giving instructions on how to form the Bigun sword? OH COME ON!!! This tells me what I've suspected, the extra blasters can probably combine as well. I'll find out on Monday when I'm supposed to get Snaptrap and the other guy.

That would be Takara, not Hasbro.

I'm truly amazed they haven't already

Turtler and Gulf just arrived from Pulse. THEY’RE SO PINK! I love them! I thought the gaudy would be too much, but it’s MAGNIFICENT. I’m gonna have to get the entire crew somehow.

Got mine too, the shipping box was dented but thankfully the individual boxes look ok.

Don't worry, the figures come in a plastic clamshell that's packed in a box, packed in a wrap, packed in a box which is then packed into the shipping box :HEADHURTS:

Seriously? That's better than the two I got from TFSource

Tue Apr 07, 2020 2:12 am

Did the plastic clamshell still do its job?

Tue Apr 07, 2020 1:05 pm

Currently up for preorder on Tfsource.

Tue Apr 07, 2020 1:30 pm

Well, Pulse charged me for Seacons three and four.

I've already got the first two from TF Source, as well as five and six preordered from TF Source. I cannot wait to get this guy fully-assembled.

Me too! I got the first to Seacons late last week. I wonder now if the last two will arrive ahead of schedule for Pulse? That would be a nice surprise.
