Is its class specified?
Because it would be nice if it's the proper voyager Pointblank, the one the designers wanted to make from the start.

Seriously? We just got a Pointblank! I get it that he has some issues, but why bother releasing that one if a proper version is also on the way? Is Hasbro really that blatantly greedy?william-james88 wrote:-Kanrabat- wrote:Nemesis Primal wrote:UPDATE: According to a combination of info some other guy got from a Chinese retailer and corroboration from JTPrime, "G1 Headmaster" is mostly likely short for "G1 Headmasters Universe Pointblank", and it's Pointblank with the head design from Headmasters/his original toy instead of his Sunbow/Rebirth head, not an actual figure/character who is a Headmaster.

I would have preferred the purple version as well, but hasbro wasn't going to make brand new parts for an obscure character when they had a ready to go mold, especially 1 of that size.1984forever wrote:I was hoping for the season 3 purple and gray guardian robots remolded to have fat guts. This new redeco isn’t accurate to the source material either. No sale unless a 3rd party manufactures a sumo upgrade.

All that white is accurate:Rodimus Prime wrote:Looks pretty good, even if it's got a bit too much white on it. I thought it would be blue and gray. But the mold still holds up.

The 1st Pointblank has been out long enough for them to acknowledge the negative response and implement the desired changes in such a short time? I just thought with all the steps a production usually requires, they had this version in the pipeline before the 1st got even released.william-james88 wrote:Some fans were upset by the headsculpt we got with the original pointblank, and now Hasbro is releasing a version to answer that need. It's the same toy but with deco and head to match the Headmasters cartoon version, hence the name of the listing.
I didn't have any problems getting 2 copies through Amazon without delay. I can't speak to B&M distribution.Also, I thought wave 3 deluxes were hard to obtain, no?
I wasn't disputing accuracy, I was commenting on my dislike of the deco.Sabrblade wrote:All that white is accurate:Rodimus Prime wrote:Looks pretty good, even if it's got a bit too much white on it. I thought it would be blue and gray. But the mold still holds up.

Well, if you really want cartoon-accuracy, you should be asking for 2-foot-tall Action Masters since the Guardian Robots were built by the Quintessons as the Dark Guardians, and thus predated the art of transformation, and thus couldn't transform.1984forever wrote:Sabrblade wrote:All that white is accurate:Rodimus Prime wrote:Looks pretty good, even if it's got a bit too much white on it.

But not the body type. Thicc guardians FTW.

Omega Supreme was the only one who was able to, and look at how much his body had to go through to make that possible.![]()
