In Hand Images of Legacy Skids with Comparisons

Thanks for just linking to the pics and not the video btw. I will say no more on the matter.

As for the figure, it's nice, but does anyone else get the impression that it looks a bit...basic? It seems to veer a little into the Cyberverse aesthetic, especially in car mode, where it doesn't seem as painted as it should be?

The mold looks OK, looks a bit better in hand. I'll probably get it in Burnout colors

He looks like an upscaled Scout class figure.

Giant feet notwithstanding, Generations Skids is anything but bland:

And sorry, my mistake...it was the new Bumblebee Movie figures (the Cybertronian ones) that all look short and squat.

Agreed, all I am going to say about that.

I love him and will pick him up on sight!

While I don't have any strong opinions about this Legacy Figure, I always felt OG Skids was criminally unused in terms of media exposure. Sure there is that infamous marvel comic where a woman who shares my wife's name gives him a carwash but... 2 animated series appearances and that's it.

Also years later, Energon Tow-Line I think was the only standard Autobot in that line not to appear in the animated series...sad...and ironic

It is nice that Skids and his other color schemes are getting MP releases. I doubt that Hasbro will pass at the opportunity for several easy Selects releases from Legacy Skids as well.

Skids is nice and all. He's very nice and I want him.

But Legacy needs to be frozen and delayed in favor of restocking most of Earthrise. The eBay markup on so many of the characters is obscene, and a lot of us were screwed out of being able to buy much of ER while it was on shelves.

What of earthrise has been hard to find? I have seen all figures multiple times. Wave 2 deluxe was the rarest, but still found them. Plus they are available all over online.

The Quintesson Judges, Allicons, and Megatron, in particular, were affected the most the pandemic.

In Japan, for me, several of the WFC figures have been hard to find, due to:

- Japanese releases being (what feels like) up to a year after the US releases (and thus..)
- ...When "regular/normal" characters are released via Takara Tomy Mall and not via Amazon Japan/other shops (as I've just waited for Amazon to stock a figure I assumed was just "being released later").
- Some exclusives not being released in Japan?

Luckily, Amazon Japan has never cancelled an order due to problems their end (only if the actual product was cancelled by the seller/manufacturer).

Sorry, I read Kingdom not earthrise. I do actually agree that a earthrise refresh could be good. Only way that I got wave 3 deluxes was from Entertainment Earth in a whole case. I am really hoping the rerelease the conehead 2 pack soon since I missed that because I wasn't sure if I really wanted them originally.
