Not sure how well praying to Primus works for characters from Japanese continuity,

Not sure how well praying to Primus works for characters from Japanese continuity, but same here. I still haven't done anything with my Star Saber because I keep procrastinating about drilling out that missing slot to attach his nosecone. Even bought a fresh dremel from Harbor Freight, but I can't seem to find the right time.

Looks like I'll have full Rescue Patrol interaction before any epic duels. Deaths'R'Us will wait patiently on his throne...

Any figure can be done right at a retail price. I really would've liked to have seen what a Studio Series 86 Grimlock retool would've looked like.

I wonder if that's why the OG SS86 hasn't gotten a reissue.

Probably pretty dire. Not sure how they would get the wings into the price point, let alone weapons, and his partners would have to be separate Core figures.

That probably has more to do with the mold being held up by the G2 and Shattered Glass releases.

Not without major compromises. Just look at the Combiner Wars release of Liokaiser, for instance. People are still clamoring for a better, more legit Liokaiser even after Hasbro already gave us that version.
