Takara Transformers Animated Blackarachnia images

Other than what appears to be a deeper violet and a purple faction symbol, I can barely distinguish the difference between this one and the Hasbro version. Perhaps someone else has a sharper eye.

All monitors display blues/violets differently, and the camera will affect it too, so I don't think you can even assume there's any difference in the color based on these pics.

That's true and I factored that in. I compared the Seibertron image to this one, so I'm betting there's some sort of difference.

Opps, sorry GuyIncognito, I didn't notice you already mentioned camera.

Whatever the variances in color shades end up being, I'm willing to bet that said colors have been applied with infinitely more care than on the Hasbro U.S. versions we got. Sometimes it seems as if the paint was just thrown at the figure from across the room, and in more extreme cases MAILED to the figure in the hopes that it would land close enough to where the oversplash would at least hit the appropriate part.
Yes, I exaggerate, but the Japanese paint jobs are always cleaner and less flaw-prone than ours in my experience.
