Oh good, I said last week that we should see colored renders this week, glad I was right. Looks like the only gold chrome is on the lion wings, everything else is painted gold. His bot mode head crest may also be chromed, but it's too small to tell easily. I was hoping they'd thin down the base to match VS's, but maybe he's too heavy and needs a thicker base.

Damn, he looks really good in color. And that throne and cannon look super good too! Man he looks better than Victory Saber!
Also, on the pulse shipping note, I find it funny because several people on this site are part of the reason the $50+ free shipping went away. Hasbro caught wind to all the people buying $50 worth of stuff then cancelling to keep the free shipping. Unfortunately, the punishment hurt everyone, they could've kept the $50 free shipping and prevented cancellations, but they went this way. It sucks, but I knew it would happen

Or, shipping is charged before one is able to cancel

I guess I'm just so used to seeing fan-digibashes that I thought the pics were the real painted/chromed deal for a minute when I first saw them this afternoon.
Really looking forward to this guy, since he's one of the few major players from Victory that I don't have the G1 or reissue version of. Hope to be able to back it in the coming week.

I always hoped that instead of a regular chain for flail weapons, that they would use posable material that looks like a chain so it can be posed mid swing instead of just limp.

You could always weave a very small copper bendy wire inside the chain. This would be challenging to do without ruining the look.

I really wish they weren't doing this during Christmas. Those colors will almost win me over but other purchases are going to take precedent if they end up delivering g next month

This thing will likely take years to deliver, just like Unicron and Victory Saber did.Flashwave wrote:I really wish they weren't doing this during Christmas. Those colors will almost win me over but other purchases are going to take precedent if they end up delivering g next month

Funny you mentioned that as the news with the website in Mexico for pre orders had a February 2023 Delivery date.They probably meant February 2024. ( Or Spring 2024 which is the date I figured Pulse would state)
But Pulse themselves is setting a pretty tight deadline, possibly the quickest turn time on any Haslab.
Unicron was about 18 months to deliver IIRC. VS will be about 14 months when it's all said and done.
Pulse shooting for "Fall 2023" with Deathsaurus gives it only about 11 months at most to deliver. Of course if this was originally planned as a CC for a Generations line, them some of the R&D prep work could have already been done.

I'm sure they work out all the details long before the campaign goes live. I'm guessing they went full on HasLab mode in designing this as soon as they saw the Victory Leo numbers so that still makes for a 2 year turnaround which seems to be the norm these days for Transformers.

Don't forget that it's your only chance to get it at the normal price.

Looks like another online order must have come in. It was approaching 9400 this morning. Now past 10,200 this afternoon. A bump of 800 and now Less than 800 to go.

Even though I have backed this, I am disappointed at the lack of sharp edges on this.

Is this Haslab any "less sharp" than the original Victory toy from 1989?
In any event, I guess there will be a special Pulse Livestream next Tuesday Nov 29th. They will show off the actual colored sample of Deathsaurus. This is impeccable timing if ( as predicted) another jump of pre orders will occur next Monday, and the funding goal will have been met. They will also probably announce that VS is shipping ( since the cut off date for address verification is the 28th)

When people get hurt, especially parents with children, they'd much rather make money with a lawsuit than admitting their own guilt. That's any company's main concern. I mean "Contents may be hot" on a cup of coffee has got to be the ultimate example of that.

To be fair, that case with the woman and her scalding McDonald's coffee cup was legit. That coffee was a zillion Kelvin hot and she suffered 3rd degree burns on her legs.
This doesn't dismiss the cases when stupid people and opportunists are involved, obviously.
