Cyber glow Megatron. This the first use of glow in the dark plastic since G2 unless I'm mistaken. Hopefully this gets used some more, GitD is always a fun gimmick.
I'm not normally one to like it when Beast Wars and G1 characters of the same name get smooshed together, but I actually find that G1 Dinosaur Megatron extremely cool. May prefer if the black portions faded more organically into the silver to look more like a realistic animal color pattern, but...
When I first heard of these, I was pretty excited as I actually love the Zuru 5-Surprise Dino Strike figures (they're 90% of the way to being Dino Riders, just missing little seats and, well, the riders), but the execution of the Transformers ones are a little lacking. Thinking I can skip these...
That is a huge improvement. In it's original form, it's just too large a swath of plain teal. The caution striping and Decepticon symbol really help break it up.
I do love the large scale of them and the fact that they can be a playset (something that is far too rare in today's toy ecosystem). I like to keep mine surrounded by roughly Legends of Cybertron scale figures to make them seem even larger.
Classics Prime really was a great design. I still have my original from back in the day, so no need for a KO, but for anyone that wasn't collecting 19 years ago (damn I'm old) it would be a good way to experience it.
Those were my first Dr. Wu cassettes, too. I loved them so much that I bought Slamdance and Decibel as soon as they were available, too. I'm a sucker for cassettes, so I'll buy pretty much any of them that Dr. Wu wants to make.
It really is the best Star Wars has been. I'm still 2 episodes from being done (we're slow to watch tv), but it really is so, so good. I would love to see this level of writing and production be a reoccurring thing for Star Wars shows. I'm not at all opposed to the "dumber but fun" Star Wars...
I like that they're letting Star Wars be a lot of different things right now. "Star Wars" doesn't have to be a specific tone. It can be a setting, with a ton of different types of stories being told that take place in that same galaxy. You can have your adult-oriented political spy thriller...
I always just shoved the big head back there so I wouldn't lose it.
I guess it worked ina way. Now, approaching 40 years later, the only part of my original Powermaster OP that I still have is his head, which I converted into a custom Pez dispenser somewhere around 15-20 years ago.
