You missed the "half-the-size" part. I mean, you can compare anything to anything I suppose but is there much value in it? Would you compare Masterpiece Prime to Core Prime? SURPRISE- one is way cheaper than the other! 🤣
And so we're not carrying on the convo in two different threads...
But...
I'm not sure why you bothered cross-posting it with the 3P versions; they're literally half the size of the official toy, so it makes sense they're half the price.
Whoa that's crazy. I completely missed the part where he's an all-new mold (or nearly so). I assumed it was just an updated version of what we've had so far and stopped paying attention... they're going to get me to buy him a third time aren't they?
That's what Fero is saying - this SS's forearms don't look blue in the pic. And he is a little off - like, the intakes are just poking out from behind the shoulders without any of the normal accompanying red.
I found this page from the comic and he looks more normal. That cover art is a strange...
I went ahead and ordered the animation version. I have Encore Prime w/trailer plus my complete original trailer, so I've got a spare if I decide he really needs it. If this trailer did something new or unusual, I might have gone for it, but otherwise I'm good.
Now to see if these show up on...
As usual, he does a great job of striking to the heart. :D That being said, I remain far more philosophical about it. I never bought Unicron to convert him. He was always a display piece and the knowledge that he can convert is sufficient. Bigger isn't always better, but it is still bigger, and...
For me, the win is definitely in the individual bot-modes, but they're never not going to be combined so it certainly isn't worth a double dip. I would've been far more tempted by a G2 box set.
I think it's mostly money.
It's tough to redo a relatively modern line without it. All the updates to older properties are one thing, and the G1ification of Prime and Animated is doing something different. But WfC is just not that long ago, and the original figures were decent. Throw in today's...
I could definitely go for a G1-with-knees (G1WK?) subline. Optimus is an easy start since he was already one of the most articulated. But Soundwave with knees that bend the right way, Seekers with knees and elbows? Heck yeah!
It does make it sadder that we'll never get gun Megs again though.
Yeah and cartoon kids tend to be more obnoxious really - because they're frequently only written that way and there's no correction for their behavior. You can write "real" kids that aren't irritating all the time, but that level of characterization is usually missing. For every Ahsoka who you...
I always said TFP had some of the best characters to date, in some of the most boring situations. With the exception of Prime himself, nearly everyone was fantastic in that show.
