Ah damn, thats really too bad. Many of us thought they would suck but we were at least hoping to be proven wrong, which has been a trend lately (like MP Ironhide). But here it ends up being what we thought it would be and thats too bad.

Also, those feet are very different from the original and a completely new take on it, the original was totally different and anyone who uses that to defend for this has no clue what the original looked like. This is a new take on the feet and a bad one at that. I am very sorry you arent happy with your purchase though, especially with how expensive he was.

I'm not totally dissatisfied with him but he definitely wasn't what I was expecting. As far as price goes though I paid $180 shipped for all three so while it's more than the Hasbro versions it's still $50 cheaper than buying off of like tfsource or something.

I'm wondering how much the God Bomber add on will (hopefully) improve this figure. Of course, at the same time, for as much as he costs, Ginrai should be able to stand on his own as a good figure without it.

First, just 1 feedback. If you've got one on the way, well you have to live with it purchase.

Second, no worries, Ginrai is all sold out if not on the way to being sold out. No need to spend on a clunker at secondary market prices.

Third. I have a feeling of dejavu like that of MP IH and Hotrodimus. Both were "awful" molds.

We'll have to wait and see what they'll do with these skipped heads:

Grimlock
Flywheels
Lightfoot (Getaway)
Orion Pax
Gong (Brawn)
Alpha Trin
Cerebros (US)

To say nothing of the torrent of future Titan Masters from wave 4 and beyond. Takara Tomy would never be able to keep up with their scattered release schedule.

That's why they skip

Out of the future releases, I'm expecting these releases to be held back or skipped:

Titan Master Class
Sawback (until Shuffler and the rumored Trizer are released)
Brawn (see below)
Overboard (redeco? Skip!)

Legends Class
Roadburn (aka Chase, Freeway or Searchlight/Looklight, depending on who you ask)
Brawn (unless there's a pretooled Outback head in there)

Deluxe Class
Breakaway

Voyager Class
Optimus Prime (in favor of Octane/Octone)
Megatron (in favor of Blitzwing)

Never once did I say it was an awful mold. I simply made comments about how there are some problems with this mold so others have realistic expectations. Not everything Takara does is perfect.

Kurona wrote:Wait, why would they skip Brawn?

I suspect Gong/Brawn will be an either/or situation: either his Titan Master Class, or his Legends Class figure will be released, with the other skipped or repurposed. The only way both can be released is if the Legends Class figure is pretooled into Fallback (aka Outback. Curse you, steakhouse! ).

Or Takara could completely throw us a curveball and release Legends class Brawn with Titan Master Brawn in the same set!

It's akin to that incident in GiTS where copying the sentience from the original all but brain fried the template. Almost expendable like nonchalance bordering to unnerving.

Also, Overlord is knocking on the door, will he be that same "Overlord" that will take on the upcoming Blackshadow/Skyshadow mold or another "duplicate". Now, he's a "single" headmaster not a double godmaster anymore? Will Devil Z's presence have the same effect on the godmasters losing/ acquiring sentience?

Road King, Ranger and the rest are stationed in G Nebula 89 in the G1 Universe, as the comic says. They're the living Transtectors as seen later in Victory, with no human bonding whatsoever. The hologram is for the "Super Convoy" project, a second attempt to revive Optimus Prime with a new body. That was the original intent of the Transtector that ultimately ended up with Ginrai, and history repeats itself in the Legends Universe.

The bodies built in the Legends Universe by the Axalon company, like on Planet Master, are non-living, and they were commissioned for a reason. In the prologue, the Headmasters as well as several others lost their bodies due to the Blackball incident which made them shrink and pop out of existence. Strangely, their heads were unaffected.
The Master Braces used by the Jrs. are created by the same company based on the originals, but with different suit designs. The Nightbeat suit is the mass-produced generic model.

It's akin to that incident in GiTS where copying the sentience from the original all but brain fried the template. Almost expendable like nonchalance bordering to unnerving.

The Godmaster and Headmaster Jr. Transtectors gaining true life is a bit more mystical than that. Then again, anything in SGMF is.

Also, Overlord is knocking on the door, will he be that same "Overlord" that will take on the upcoming Blackshadow/Skyshadow mold or another "duplicate". Now, he's a "single" headmaster not a double godmaster anymore? Will Devil Z's presence have the same effect on the godmasters losing/ acquiring sentience?

The Overlord shown is, again, the original now-living Transtector, and has been waging war since gaining life and leaving earth at the end of SGMF. The Devil Z shown seems to be have been "dumbed down" compared to the G1 version of him.

One thing that must be kept in mind about the Legends Universe:

It's not considered a proper G1 Universe!

Instead, it's been designated a Iocus universe, which is Latin for "joke".

The gift set will be the only re-release of Ginrai and might have some new/special added in. Now here's the big question, if they do a black repaint of Super Ginrai, will it be released as Super Ginrai or Nucleon Quest Convoy?
