I have the Legends versions of these guys ... and the previous versions in United and ehobby ... so I was hesitant. But I'm a fool, so I got them anyway.
Blurr is a clear cut win. Although I do like the paint apps on Legends a whole lot at the end of the day he's a Headmaster. I'd rather have a non Headmaster.
Kup's a tougher one to call. I'm not in love with the headscult on Legends. Or how broad the shoulders are. And Studio has the better vehicle mode. On the other hand Studio is a pain to transform, has low shoulders and a weird flat face. I guess Studio, but I wish he had a better face. Does that mean I like the older ehobby Kup best!? Even if he has an Earth mode?
Either way that's it as far as these characters are concerned. I am done with G1 Kup and Blurr.
I've seen both a couple times. Actually I've seen Blurr a handful of times at Target.
For me it's really the face sculpts that throw them off.
Kup's eyes look off, and imo are too high on his face. I also think his face is a little too long.
With Blurr I think his face is much too long, and I'd say it's just too stiff and serious looking...
He was a very enthusiastic personality for the most part, and I just don't see that in this sculpt.
If they ever go on sale, I will definitely consider Kup. But by sale I mean close to 50% off. I won't pay more than $10 for Blurr, which most likely isn't ever happening.
Hopefully Wreck-Gar is more on point compared to these two. I'll be more than okay if I end up with a shelf of Galvatron, Cyclonus, Scourge, Sweeps x2 or 3, and Hot Rod and Wreck-Gar.
The more I think about it, the more I'm considering just skipping both no matter what and getting Kingdom Magnus. Him, Hot Rod, and Wreck-gar together... I could be very happy with that!
