Legends Arcee, Chromia And Windblade Comparison Images With Hasbro Counterparts

Posted by Autobot032 Feb 13, 2015 at 7:04am CST 20,240 views
We've been directed to a handful of side-by-side comparison images showcasing the TakaraTomy releases of Arcee, Chromia and Windblade standing alongside their Hasbro counterparts, courtesy of Twitter user gikogakodo. The main differences are paint decos and tampographs, but said differences do seem to be quite striking when placed next to each other. Unfortunately, it seems there will be a shortage of these figures, according to HLJ (which we reported earlier this morning), so enjoy the images now and keep your fingers crossed that we'll see more of these produced on the Japanese end of things.

I really like that Arcee. If I could get that one, that would be great. Chromia, on the other hand, I think I'll go with the Hasbro version. Both versions of Windblade look good, so I'm glad I got the Hasbro one!

I pre ordered Windblade through BBTS, and have not received any notice from them. Anyone else order from BBTS and gotten any e-mail like this?

Glad I bought from BBTS. Looking at the comparison shots, im happy I also bought the hasbro versions. Fembots are worth double dipping on for my displays.

I think the email was only for those who ordered more than one... I've got Windblade on order, as IMO, she's the only one that I believe has a better looking deco than the Hasbro version.

Hopefully my ordered will be fulfilled....

I prefer the Hasbro versions of all three. Not much in it for Windblade, Hasbro Chromia looks more colour coordinated and Arcee looks a bit cheaper without the black. It also helps bring out the other colours.

Pffft. 'Shortage' of Arcee/Windblade/Chromia? Well, why not? They haven't turned up HERE either....

I'm glad I ordered the Hasbro versions of Arcee and Windblade. I already own Delicate Warrior so Hasbro Arcee can be her own thing while Delicate Warrior can remain my "G1" Arcee. Takara Chromia is "meh". That purple really clash. However, Takara Windblade look deffenitely better. Still, I'll keep my Hasbro one. She's awesome enough!

My only beef with Takara's Arcee is her unpainted gun. I might find a Hasbro Arcee at some point just for her gun.

Agreed, it is irresponsible for manufacturers and some of the transformers specialty stores for offering these figures and agreements of preorder and purchase, and not be able to honor it...

I am still waiting for TFSource to have the decency to notify everyone who preordered MP 10 Eva and say "sorry, you aint getting your preordered figure", if they had done so, I could have bought it from another store before it was too late. Instead, my preorder still stands and will likely go unfulfilled forever...

I hope my preordered fembots find their way home...

U listening TFSouce?

Is it possible that this is some confusion due to Chinese New Year and that the rest of the shipments will be coming in a month or so?

That's quite possible.

Another possibility is that HasTak couldn't make enough stock in time, what with Chinese New Year being so close, as most workers are preparing for their trip back to their respective hometowns already. Chinese New Year is like the single most important festival in China. You couldn't pay a factory worker enough to stay and make more toys (relatively speaking), as it's likely the only holiday long enough for him to spend time with family and friends in his hometown.

Hopefully we'll see more stock being produced later on.

But the pink gun is show-accurate:

Takara going for show-accuracy ought to be a no brainer at this point.
