Studio Series discussion

I'm down for Nautica (she's Studio Series, right?), but she's also not up for preorder yet. Most of the rest of these offerings just don't seem like figures I need to have at these new release prices.

I'm in for Nautica, Red Alert, Wheelie, and a Sideswipe when they make one.

The myriad of Sideswipe redecos... I don't know. Maybe G2, and Tigertrack.

I feel like it is going to take a damn good G2 Sideswipe for me to budge from the recent version. That Yaniger face sculpt is a thing of beauty and when you add Nonnef's bandolier, spiked shoulder wheels and G2 weapons, its a chef's kiss of a package.

Since it's a more toy-based mold, I think it would be a good opportunity to do a more toy-based G2 Sideswipe.

I wonder if the back section on Red Alert rotates though. It's upside down for no readily apparent reason.

It would be nice to get a release with stuff you'd otherwise have to get via upgrade kit.

Also, didn't the recent Covert Clone Sideswipe have the stock headsculpt? The one I recall having that great sneer was the MP.

I know the comic is glorious, but I want G2 decos to come with the toy accessories. I am still waiting for some Optimus Prime to get a G2 deco with the blasters and soundbox. I don't care if the soundbox is just an empty shell that does nothing.
They should make it a storage box for the guns, should anyone not want them attached.

On this price thing, it's funny. I think I'm willing to pay more for a Transformer now, but only because I'm buying so much less of them than I was before.

Quality over quantity. And the quality has definitely spiked in some ways. Go pick up a toy from the early CHUG era and remember how soft the face sculpts used to be. Now they look like scaled down Masterpiece CAD, and in some cases that's probably what they actually are.

Yes, I took a look at both the MP and the Siege?/Whatever-they-called-it version, and it is just the MP with the Yaniger face. I hadn't seen it in a minute and misremembered. He's still a very cool figure - especially with the aforementioned accessories.

I found one of those Studio Series 'More Than Meets The Eye' Starscreams! It was the only one in the store and I had a 25% off coupon! Now to tick off the entire fandom by hiding it in my closet till my nephew's birthday. That's right, for the next stage of my decent into evil depravity, I'm giving a toy to a kid! LET THE WAILING BEGIN!!!

-It was a lousy week so I decided to take it out on everyone! Also, seriously, this was pure luck. My nephew has quite a few jets in multiple characters but doesn't have a single set of three that match and these are his favorites, he already got Thundercracker and Skywarp himself. I really didn't expect to see it on a quick grocery stop. I wanted to get him the third seeker but there's no way I can swing ebay prices for this thing...

Meanwhile I've just kind of resented the comic since around early 2010 when people were outright directly telling me that I could not possibly actually have nostalgia for anything called Transformers: Generation 2 unless I desperately wanted the Botcon boxed set to have Jhiaxus in it.
