Wonderfest 2018 - Takara Star Wars Powered By Transformers Figures #wf2018w #ワンフェス2018冬

That tie advanced looks amazing and hanode still looks good to me.

Yes. It's the one thing that ever come out for either the Hasbro or Takara versions that I've really liked. More of this style, please!

I didn't remember to check but I want to know if the Diaclone pilots and Star Wars figures are the same size. If so, there's room for cross-play between these two lines. I would have loved the same to have occurred with TR/Legends and then have future lines (MASK, GI-Joe mini vehicles, Star Wars mini vehicles, etc) share similar sized vehicles and pilots to cross play with.

Though cool, I don't see this line doing it in my collection. I enjoy the appearance of Vader, but the Falcon is not hitting the right wants for me. Now, do a Unicron/Deathstar and I'm in it to win it. I have a quick question though, are these just updated versions of the older Star Wars X Transformers toys from a while back?

Well, Alfes2010 was certainly creative with those poses...

It's just weird seeing the TIE Advanced X1 in such a light gray color, when we're so used to seeing toy versions in that bluish-gray color that dates all the way back to the original Kenner toy from about 40 years ago.

Hideous. Somebody pop off the ugly head and replace it with a Megatron head.

I love that headsculpt.

I got Vader. I got thoughts



He's fun. But he's more "toy" than "collector piece". Which maybe I should have expected, and is right for it, but he's just simpler than I thought he'd be. All around, it's a decent figure, but nothing to rave about. Robot mode is posable enough to do some fun stuff, but lacks a couple joints (like a wrist swivel) to make him fantastic. And the tie wings, while quite movable, can't move every way you'd like. His shoulders like to fall out of place, but it's no deal breaker. The Tie mode, is very much a Tie. Not much else to say about that













I mentioned somewhere that he was slightly bigger than a Deluxe I think? Getting side by side with a current Deluxe, now I see he's more than slightly bigger.



Final thoughts:
He's a good opener if not slightly underwhelming. But he is light years ahead of the old SWTF's and I look forward to the continuation of the line. Bring on the Falcon, and please make an X-Wing Luke!

Nice pictures! for his price point, I do wish he did do more. But he still looks good, and like you said, miles better than the previous SWTFs

Thanks guys!

The more I play around, the more fun I have with him. I think he'll become more relevant when he's got some proper bros to hang with.
