That stance looks cool. But overall I think this is a C+ effort of the mold. What's going for it is the fact that the 2.0 version was so crappy that any improved version would be welcomed.
Hasbro's version of Galvatron will do (I prefer that color more) but I'm hoping that 3rd party has the sense to be already working on a new head with crown attached as well as a better arm cannon or port that can place it on the side of his arm instead of always being on top like that. Other than those skinny thighs which I guess can't be changed, I think the figure is alright.

It looks like his head is turned, doesnt it?

It was already shown that his head can turn with the crown.

Ah, guess I missed that. Where/when was it shown? Was it BotCon or somewhere else?

I don't know about you guys, but I received a personal demonstration from a staff member that Galvatron's head can turn while wearing the crown.

Thats one hell of a backpack. Whats up with that long black piece riding up behind his head? Reminds me of BH Starscream.

It's mistransformed. That long assembly sticking outward from his back can be folded down 90 degrees. The tip of it will be visible between his legs from the front, though. At any rate, you can most certainly change the angle of his dangle.

But G1 Galvatron just has a backpack. Why is this figure having one any wonder?

I was referring more to that long black piece. And just because G1 had it doesnt mean Hasbro cant improve over it. I thought they didnt want to feel chained to G1 (their words). And in any case, this isnt G1 Galvatron, its their new take on him.

... I... beg your pardon??
Anywho I think this might be one of the few times I consider buying both Takara and Hasbro's take on the mold despite being the exact same character and toy - Hasbro's represents what imo should be Galvatron's colour scheme, while Takara's is... a bit more reminiscent of Marvel's Galvatron II. Who is the craziest most insane fucker out there and I love him for it

Aw, yeah! An official voyager Galvatron! 
Not that I don't already have several Galvatrons. It's still nice to see Galvy at this size class done officially. When I have more room I really have to make a Galvatron display. Maybe Galvatron VS Hot Rod....

Galvatron II is pretty much just Galvatron in G1 toy colors, which this is not. He'd need gray, not light purple, as his main torso color to fit that version. To me it looks like Takara is still going for toon colors, just a different interpretation of how dark he should be (since the animation wasn't always consistant).

So he was a headmaster in G1 then?
Just messing, your right Scotty and Agamemnon, he looks pretty darn good and spot on. And for the record my main cause for concern was that weird antenna.
