About as appealing as a whiteboard.

It's also almost triple the price of the US release.
Less paint + more expensive + common sense = No.

And TBH, the only good figs out of the GO! line are the new combiners and the Predacons.

Note I said Smokescreens, as in both GO! & MP Smokescreen.

Orion Pax, Megatron(us :BOOM: )


1) I have no interest in Orion.
2) I was never a fan of that mold as Megatron to begin with. Waiting for Dreadwing

and Metroplex?


Where's Metr-Oh...

Nah, man, I meant the guys with the photos that aren't microscopic. :P :lol:

Guess that means the Sanjōhaōken and the golden Kabuto helmet are fine too. ;)

Not really

Missing the beak and the alt isn't as gray as it should be
It's more of the BotCon 2005 Deathsaurus than the original:

Though giving it a distinctly male face looks wrong, since Ripclaw's torso still has a feminine shape. To me, the end result looks as much like SheZow as Deathsaurus.

The shame is that giving that mold a more humanish and feminine head in those colors could've finally produced a passable toy of Esmeral. Get on it, Headrobots! Then I'll actually start importing this line.
