I'm not saying that BW Waspy isn't dark green, but to my eyes, the primary shade of green on that Kingdom figure look way closer to his main Animated green than his BW green.Sabrblade wrote:BW Waspinator was dark green.

Compare with the two Takara redecos that used darker greens:

Plus he's got purple eyes in both modes and purple wings, whereas the BW colorscheme had bluish eyes and clear wings, that seems like more than a coincidence to me. It's a more muted purple than the Animated purple, sure, but it's still purple.

Well that figure never came out, so that probably took it out of the running.Overcracker wrote:I guess Animated Wasp a.k.a Fugitive Waspinator, the bumblebee repaint and precursor to Animated Waspinator, is not counted?

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...

Yet his Kingdom Rattrap one was better than all of pvp videos, some would say 'Iconic' if it hadnt been used and beaten to death by his fellow purveyor of stolen goods for Baynus things with three seconds of screen time.
Which reminds me, I might have to pick up Kingdom rattrap soon because there's not even a scuttling of the eons ago hinted at MP.

I blame myself for not making it crystal clear that I was only counting Waspinator in his base form at the Deluxe or corresponding price point, which ruled out the accessory Waspinator, his Transmetal and the Animated one which leaves 3... as I wouldn't count redecos/reissues.

Ah, I thought it was a reference to the quality of the photo, cause man it actually is pretty bad lighting-wise.
