Later in November Japan will be treated to two more Henkei figures from the Universe line: Galvatron and Ironhide.


Thanks to our friends over at TF08 we have a good first look at Henkei Galvatron on card.

It's better than a sharp stick in the eye but I still wish people knew how to use cameras :(

Not keen on the vacuum-metallized bits, but I like the card art...

I agree. Why does Japan get great art, and we get the "dull surprise"?

I think the "dull surprise" artwork was only on the first wave of Universe.

I have to see what this fig looks like out of package before making any judgment.

Takara or not, it's still the worst mold of the line.

O zing. Gotta agree on that one. A little Japanese intervention is still appreciated though, so I might hit this one up sometime.

I disagree. I love my Galvatron. Te Henkei version, not so much, the chromed turret looks out of place and forced to me.

Am I the only person who thinks all the plastic chrome on the henkei figs really detracts from them.

Agreed!

I especially enjoy how CRAZY the art makes him look... much more appropriate than the "dull suprise" expression on the US card.

No, quite a few people think that.

I'm not totally sold on the chrome turret but this is definitely one I'll be picking up to complete my Henkei collection.
I agree with everyone, that the artwork is amazing :D

I still don't like the Henkei chrome. He would have been nice if not for the chrome.

I think only Prime fits the chrome in this Henkei series.
