Cool, we get a choice between original toy deco and cartoon deco.

You know, sometimes I don't like Takara's decos because they're so slavish to the cartoon - I really don't like their Arcee and Springer because of this.
But this is a case of Hasbro being way too slavish to the toy, and Takara's just turns out infinitely better.

It's like looking at a completely different toy.

They're making it hard to choose. I can't be double dipping on every character.

Wow...I guess the colors really can make or break a toy.

TakTom seems hellbent on making me spend money I had no intention on spending. Here's hoping I can remain strong and stick to my guns with my original Headmasters only rule.

It's funny that you think you can last.

The only reason I wont be getting Takara's Blurr is because I have the GenerTions version. Unless anew version is vastly superior to a previous version (Thrilling 30 Jetfire vs Classics), I don't upgrade. And I love the drift redeco version of Blurr.

So basically, Hadbro's toy homage ended up subdued, while Takara's cartoon homage ended up bolder and with better contrast.
The weird thing is that this is, for the most part, the opposite of hhow CW/UW broke down.

Me too. I'll be satisfied to get this design as Brainstorm.Nemesis Maximo wrote:The only reason I wont be getting Takara's Blurr is because I have the GenerTions version.

Takara Tomy's version ended up so much better, it's not even funny. Seriously, no matter what your general preference, you can't really side with Hasbro on this one.

Wow, this is an exceptional deco for him, it really throws into sharp relief what a god-forsaken p.o.s. the hasbro release is, this is a figure that I actually want now, shame I don't have the money for it

Now THAT is the closest thing to the Blurr I always wanted to have since owning the original G1 figure all those years ago. The colours look superb.
Yeah this one's a must-buy for me.
EDIT: even the Autobot insignia looks to be in a better place being under the canopy rather than on it so you don't have it upside down in vehicle mode.

I'm curious if Takara is going to change Stylor on Chromedome like they've done with Hardhead and Skullcruncher. Japan has shown a fondness for IDWs take on certain characters.

You can on price and availability. I'm going hasbro because I don't need to spend extra money on extra paint.

But Stylor is based on IDW Chromedome's head

I can
while takara is certainly nice I don't mind hasbro one bit, this is partly down to me not caring about g1 toon colours at all. All I care about is the toy

I know, this is freaken insane. While I was totally ok getting tha Hasbro version, I just feel I am getting so much more out of this. This is clearly somethign I can treasure for the years to come while I find headless hasbro versions at thrift stores.
I agree and hence why I will probably get this. Even if that shipping cost aint cheap, I wont care in the years to come as I marvel at it.
Wait what? Availability? How? Look at the combiner wars thread, every 5 pages or so its just a comparison of what some states and countries get and what others dont. Ask any canadian about Hasbro's Gen Arcee or anyone in England about Wave 3 of Combiner Wars. There is absolutely no logic as to what you will get and when and where from hasbro. Takara has a standard street release date and you can always be sure to get them if you preorder them.
Also that price statement is wrong too. You are getting an extra vehicle with Takara's and it's price is actually 22$ US http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail ... agecnt%3D1
That is the legit price you would find him at retail in Japan. Hasbro's at retail (if you find him ) would be 17.99$ + 4.99$ for that vehicle and titanmaster. So 22.98$ USD. Meaning that looking at the price, the Hasbro version would be 1$ more and give you an extra titanmaster. And of course, you dont get any of that awesome paint.
So the Hasbro one loses on all accounts objectively, and being as global and general as possible.

I'm not importing and paying a shipping cost on a piece of plastic I don't need when I can swing by a store I live near and get something I Personally feel is just as good. So yeah, in my world they don't lose.
