Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

There is no regular version. Our RotF Voyager Prime (sans Chinese) is an exclusive in Japan, period. Same goes for Swerve and Interrogator Barricade.
Thing is guys, as far as I can tell, the Japanese don't like repaints or re-releases unless it's exclusive to a store or site. Also, you're forgetting this is only the second use of the mold in Japan as both Robo-Vision and First Strike were never released there; those two had to be imported.
With that said, this is geared more towards Japanese collectors than us so they don't have to pay import prices.

They're not exclusives TO Japan, they're exclusives IN Japan.gingermoney wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:starfish wrote:So what's the difference between this and the regular Japanese version (seen here)?: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/new-hyper-hobby-magazine-scans/16410/

i may just have misunderstood but swerve and interrogator aren't japan exclusives
swerve has been spotted for sale in the u.s. and i know where i can buy interrogator barricade in u.s. packaging over the internet.

On a side note, I can't wait for ROTF voyager class Green Eyes Optimus Prime to come out!

As it is, it slightly annoys me, but I can take comfort in the fact that it's about the easiest pass there is. The only time it sucks is when it's not much different, but the latter one is the better of the two and you already purchased the first.
It's crap like this where I almost don't blame the jerks that return an old version in the new one's package

It may not be ultra-accurate to the movie, and it has that big backpack, but taken on its own merits, Voyager Prime is ultra poseable, has pretty good proportions, a fun transformation and some cool weapons. I don't mind it half as much if I'm buying a mould I actually like.

I like the fig, but have no use for most of the repaints. First Strike is understandable for the most part, but the rest a total waste. Maybe a Nemesis Prime repaint would be worth getting...
