Yeah, thats what I was thinking, ****! I dont want to own several leader Optimus toys using that Western Star Design. And while this one seems "better", we can see the listed paint apps and he will be bare bones with a ton of unpainted grey and blue plastic. Then again, its the same as with the original trilogy. The first leader wasnt screen accurate but it was fine, but then the ROTF leader was super screen accurate and then they kept rereleasing it looking better and better up until this **** year where they are still releasing that mold and hopefully making it right this time. I wasnt collecting at the time, so I am just buying the latest one and calling it a day. But with this AOE design, I fear I will be stuck in a new version of that cycle where there will be slight improvements each year or so to the same design and I wont know when to put my chips down and get it. I jut dont want to own many of them, and I really like my AD 31, easily the best paint job of the last 5 years.
But this is an exciting time nonetheless. I just adore seeing these early designs and wondering how things transform. Its really fun with movie toys and with RID confirmed as still releasing toys next year aong with generations, there will be a bunch of leaks and products revealed for us to talk about. Looking forward to it.
But damn, he needs mroe paint apps.
