Studio Series discussion

[Exatron]

I'd been assuming that Optimus was a smaller version of the character just for this A-level assortment. But did I catch that right that they said they're scaling down all the TFOne characters for Studio Series? I.e., this is the primary TFOne Optimus, and all the characters will be scaled to match him, as opposed to the SS/WfC/Legacy standard of scaling against a Voyager Optimus?

If so, that's a bit disappointing. I've been really liking having a universal standard scale. Coming so soon after Omega Prime went completely off the scale rails in the other direction, it makes me wonder if they'll be abandoning it going forward. I certainly hope not.

Think of it as everyone in TF: One being younger, so they're all smaller.

Little worried this will bleed into Generations in a couple years as a cost cutting measure.

Has anyone received 86 Frenzy from BBTS yet? I've had him pre-ordered since the first day he went up.

I caught that, too. It does make sense. This movie could bring in a lot of new young fans that have never been in the market for Transformers figures before. Keeping the price of admission a bit lower (especially since costs have been moving steadily up) for new customers may help create a whole new generation of continued toy-buyers.

But agreed, I hope that doesn't bleed into the main line where I've already got a large amount of more-or-less in scale figures.

No, mine hasn't come in either.

I did a ways back.

 

[Sciflyer]

I've got mine as well.

Well, the future leaders are. In the trailer, the size difference between them and Bee is less than we usually see, and they're smaller than the one I'm pretty sure is supposed to be Darkwing.

Sure, it would make sense for him to be bigger and more intimidating than them. After all, he is the terror that flaps in the night.

And instant like for my favorite hero.
