itscramtastic wrote:And I was pretty excited!! Titans Returning and such!! One of my favorite G1s officially re-imagined!!

So I opened the (surprisingly light) box!! Pretty cool looking figure. Lots of "I see what you did there" and stuff. Easy transformation. I did notice then how light the plastic was in areas and I really don't think the tabs will hold up over time. There's no way they can. My other issue is the joints seem loose/weak. He has a constant lean either back or forwards, and his A-frame stance always has one leg clicked out further than the other.

Looks very cool! I do find it funny that it's smaller than the original!

Hey! I just had an awesome idea! Anyone want to make a small fusion cannon for Nucleon?

I've often thought about this, too. It'd be pretty cool.

WAIT! Problem solved.

And while we're on this topic, has anyone done a size comparison with a headmaster and a Lego/Kreo figure?

Oooooo this is something I need to see.

Nice review.

However, if your main complaints are plastic quality, and (mis-assembled) ratchets; there's no guarantee that Takara's will be any better there. I'm still curious if the only modifications to the takara's version won't just be having the "power"master plug into the chest (and they carve that out).

I do find his base mode lacking compared to Blaster. But, disregarding nostalgia, the original PM's base mode wasn't *that* different from the current iteration. I do wish the cab completely detateched (which I guess you could do with a screw driver). Pulling the "back" up would enclose it closer in form to the G1 PM.

Thanks! As I told shajaki, it was more my "thoughts". As far as joints go, I think Takara can fix it. And I mentioned in my thread (I think) that it'll probably be a darker red plastic and of COURSE they'll have the better paint apps.

I haven't snapped pics of base mode yet, but I probably will tomorrow. I just didn't feel like fiddling with all of the bots I had out at the time.

What I'm probably most disappointed in is the legs. You know how the feet have those angles formed into them on the bottom (for the A-frame stance)? He can't stand on both of them. One will be proper and the other won't due to the him not missing leg day, ever (re: calve sections are HUGE). I don't think they were that bad on Ultra Magnus.

To be honest, I'm still on the fence to return him or not. Need to check the options for Takara Legends I suppose.

Takara's is an intense retool so there might be hope for your problems to be fixed yet. It's also not fully revealed quite yet.

Speaking of which, when are they fully revealing it? Any estimates?

Wish I knew

Probably the same time as Soundwave and all that.

I am not planning to get Ginrai unless it appeals to me more than certain TR figures, or if it goes on sale. So far, I am not impressed with Takara's Blaster, so I'm fine with Hasbro's. I hope Takara's Prime is different though.

I was looking at the shadow renders on BBTS and it looks like the feet are completely different. And then I clicked pre-order. And clicked pre-order for FT Sovereign. Yay pre-orders!

Takara Legends Ginrai is due in November.

Cram, how will you be able to return an open box item?

A bit more extensive, but the legs and arms match, making them a pair. So yeah, CW pretooling all over again. So far I've got:

Crashbash & Clobber
Terri-Bull & Skytread
Hyperfire & Stylor
Fracas & Xort
Twin Cast & Soundblaster
Sovereign & Darkmoon

I'm trying to get a closer look at Brainstorm's Arcana, to see what mold he's based on. Keep mind, Hasbro's not shy of switching out heads!

I actually already knew about those, but I have a terrible memory. XD

Comment by Jelze Bunnycat Jul 16, 2016

Some of them are like a duh, like Infitnitus & Darkmoon (you didn't correct me!), Twin Cast & Soundblaster because their bodies are retools of eachother as well. The Deluxes is where the head-mold switching seems to be happening. :-?

:-?

I forgot how awesome those voyagers looked, (speaking of megs and prime) I just hope the alt modes are decent.

Scram@ why not keep hasbro pmop as pmop? From what I've seen of the leaked images for ginrai, he's going for a different look, thus will be noticeably different from pmop

Why, with a receipt and all original packaging of course!

Then better wait until Godbomber's actually announced... or at least until reviews of Legends Super Ginrai show up, and point out possible attachment spots.
