Last summer a lot of fans online tossed the idea around of the Animated Lockdown mold being done up in the AOE colors. Well Takara must have had the same thought, because this version of the bounty hunter is really close to those gritty movie colors. All of the issues with the first release of the mold are still here, but that doesn't take away from just how cool this figure is. If you've never experienced the mold that spawned the phrase, "Lockdowned the legs" give this bot a look.

SAL shipping takes time. I will be waiting a while for my superion once he comes out this month.

Canada? I noticed that some way in MN (WolfmanJake iirc)got there around a weeks from Japan release. If it's registered or parcel, the arrival might be faster for you guys.

Hasbro Bombshell's head had partial paint apps to his face but not the entire head. TAV on the otherhand had the entire head painted but left his antenna plain.
Kind of a bit disappointing that TT didn't go full pain apps.

Hasbro's? Yes. I've got FOUR copies of Hasbro's "Skrapnel", and with each, in alt mode, its left antenna droops down far lower than the right one. With the two Takara ones I own, the antennae remain level with one another in alt mode.

I forget which antenna it is but this also happens with the G1 reissue of Skrapnel that came out this year.
