Toy Fair 2017 - Jada Toys Transformers Products featuring Optimus Prime #TFNY #HasbroToyFair

This thing is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!

Now WHY, WHY can't Hasbro make a Leader Class Prime like THIS!!??

I'd be willing to shell out $75-$100.00 for a ROTF-like Optimus with a richly-detailed vehicle, & a metallic color-scheme like this!

Instead, we'll have to hope Takara will once again come to the rescue with *gasp* actual, screen-accurate paint, while Hasbro's Movie Prime will be lucky to get any silver paint for his wheels.

I'll wait to see if what was shown at Toy Fair is what shows up in boxes on store shelves, but Hasbro isn't known for slathering their figures in paint, rather the opposite. Perhaps the Movie Line will be different & surprise fans with more than minimally painted figures.

The tendency of Hasbro to save a "penny" of paint is exemplified in the Titan Returns Line, which has been awesome, generally speaking. Except for some notable exceptions, like Galvatron's helmet fiasco & countless unpainted Titan Master faces, & lack of paint on wheels. For example, PM Optimus isn't a bad mold, despite the comparison with Takara Ginrai, he just needed a less pale, less anemic faded red, new rifles, & some silver paint on his wheels.

The Movie line looks pretty good, from what has been shown at Toy Fair, but I hope the actual production toys look just as sharp.

So then why not do just that: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail

Well because, I own that mold already, & it's easily one of the best Optimus Prime figures ever, but I'd really like a figure with that ROTF Leader mold's sophistication/articulation & complexity in the AOE version's slick new semi-truck & Heroic Knight form.

I can't be the only one who wants that, can I? And really, it would be a such a shame if a thing like that actually existed only to be made with minimal paint, wouldn't it? And why can't Hasbro make another awesome Leader Class Movie Prime with great detail, paint, & articulation? We've yet to see the entirety of the Hasbro Last Knight line, so I'm holding out hope that some really great figures are on their way!

Ayyyyyyyyyy

Tamashii Nations is bringing over the Woody Robo? Color me pleasantly surprised.

More importantly... this is the first I ever heard of the Woody and Buzz combiners.... COMBINING WITH EACH OTHER

What is Super Robot Change?

For some reason, I thought there had been a previous thread on here for the Toy Story combiners, but apparently the only thread that really talked about them was the Tokusatsu thread, starting with this post.

So... they are allowing knockoffs at Toy Fair now?

And first you had Marvel Zombies, now travel back in time to Feudal Japan and witness the battle of Marvel Samurai...

They look kind of interesting. Iron-Samurai-Man seems to work better than Spider-Samurai-Man.
