New Galleries: Generations Arcee and Chromia

Amazing

Chromia's cold dead eyes. X_X

The open hand looks better, but I wish mine was a closed hand. I feel more confident about it not breaking. Can the weapon handles push trough all the way on the closed hand versions because there's a stop in the opens hand ones?

^^^^^^

that is hilarious and terrifying all at once.

This! This is why we need a Leader Magnus so badly!

To kick off the weekend, Seibertron.com brings you another installment of photo galleries, and we turn once more to Takara Tomy and it's Legends time today. Check out below a selection of images showing off the latest incarnation of what once was a Macross VF-1S Super Valkyrie - LG07 Leader Class Jetfire! The Japanese counterpart of the Hasbro Generations toy (comparison shots included) features all the same weapons and removable mask, and pretty much the same deco and paint scheme; exceptions are the lack of chrome on the red parts, some additional leg paint apps, more detail on the Autobot symbol and other very minor touches, making it look more and more like its IDW character. Check them out for yourselves by clicking on any image below!

I don't see enough to warrant the higher cost. I can add a few paint apps and remove the chrome so...meh. Still, love this new mold and I do like the black gun barrels.

Amazing gallery as usual, thank you.

Aside chrome and price, I find takara closer to IDW and hasbro a G1 deco, therefore I am happy with my hasbro version.

Probably the earliest promotional images of the Hasbro version are what inspired the Takara version, since those early promo pics had the extra red chest stripes and black-painted kibble gun barrels that the Takara version has.

Fortunately, removing the chrome from the Hasbro version is so simple that anybody can do it.

What...WHAT? You mean to tell me that the HASBRO version has chrome but the TAKARA one does not?????? And, on top of that, fans prefer the TAKARA version specifically because it does not have chrome? Isn't it normally the opposite?

WHAT KIND OF PARALLEL UNIVERSE HAVE I SLIPPED INTO???
