Hey he has a decently painted Headmaster in this version!

Y'know, the headmaster without the crown actually works on it's own decently in a weird sort of way. Not exactly an emulation of the 1986 toy head, but it's still sort of nice.

ハイブロウとスカージは関節が共通なので変形するしないは別にしてこんな感じに自由に組換えられます。 これを応用してオリジナルの変形ロボットを作ったり、好みの関節の色を選んだりして楽しむのも面白いかと思います。#TT_TF

To transform so highbrow and scourge of the joints are common and are not, like genetically modified free will. I also enjoy the sights and color preference of joint, making the original transform robot by applying this interesting. #TT_TF


Will you look at that! Scourge is Highbrow's base design? Now about the Elita-1 from Blurr I mentioned a few post back, the possibilities are mind boggling. Why try to redesign the wheel if it's not broken why fix it? It can be done if there's a demand that is. Just like henkei Lambor/Sunstreaker. Just make the front the back or vice versa and feminize Blurr. :-?

On the other hand.

Override's mass retail release toy count: 1
Elita-1's mass retail release toy count: 0
The chance of this line doing anything from any continuity family other than G1: 0%

We have more in hand images of of the Takara Transformers Legends figures that were released yesterday: Transformers Legends LG21 Hardhead and Transformers Legends LG22 Skull (Sukuru aka Skullsmasher)

These come from a variety of sources on Twitter as well as our Japan correspondant Matt, who took pictures of all sides of Skull's box. He was ¥3,530 ($34.43) at retail.

Enjoy!

Update

Matt also got us pictures of the comic inside and has given us a quick note on Skull(smasher's) stability:

Doesn't have any problem standing. He has fairly tight joints. The cockpit is that same soft plastic as the Hasbro version.

Looks like the process of placing Skull's little Headmaster on Batora's Bird Mode is called "Ride On!"

Aaaaaaagh Skullcruncher's head is perfect. I might just have to go Takara for this guy.

I wonder if Skully has a hard shell covering the pilot's cockpit, or if it is soft and rubbery like Hasbro's?

I updated the article with the following testimony from Matt:

It's annoying. Hasbro looks better in every way - Takara's brown just looks terrible - but I'd love to have a mouth on him.

PC monitor color images not always accurate to the real thing. That being said, both Hb and Takara look great at an initial impression.

Yeah pretty much if Hasbro's had the mouth from Takara's it would look great. But, I still like the faceplate. I actually prefer toy accuracy a lot of times.

Sadly, I like both, and especially variants like these...

Oh yeah, I like the faceplate too so it's not like I'm disappointed to get it; I'm just sad I can't also have a mouth. Options yo

:shock:

Has his optics been given a coat of light blue warmed eye paint?

I remember to some effect about kids(Masterforce) saying that they trusted Ginrai in a certain episode because of those same warm blue optics.
