Yeah, I think the wild character designs & toy action features in the original MOTU line lead to a lot of fans having favourite characters that never got into the show much. That's how I ended up loving Stinkor & Snout Spout so much.
Wanna hear something fun? After tax & shipping, each of these guys are going to be around $175 CDN. That's $700 for just the main four characters :) I'll continue to hold out hope that Hasbro does a set in a couple of years.
With both combiner torso characters AND increasingly truck w/ trailer characters (Primes etc) moving into the Commander price point, that is a LOT of pressure for only one figure per year (maybe more like 9 months now?). It just makes sense to move to 2 a year if they ever want to do other...
Yeah, people complain that the large figures aren't in "true" scale, but I think don't always appreciate how much space they'd take up if they were ALL at that scale. Not everyone has an entire unused basement to display everything.
I'm also hoping the black on his forearms/head is slightly more of a charcoal than the straight black which tends to just eat details. I'm assuming the fists will be purple this time.
Looks good overall. My two biggest concerns were the size (CW was way too big for me) and the shade of green, and they got both right more or less. It looks like the torso and chest behind the chestplate is kindof...m shaped, though, which feels less than stable? Those are some large gaps! The...
I had really hoped they'd let the Transformers team loose on redesigning the Megazord from the ground up (keeping the silhouette and major design elements) but the situation between Takara & Bandai might have been insurmountable.
It's really sad how Ghostbusters was only really given a couple waves of Plasma & Retro. It could have potentially really taken off if they had at least tried some Real Ghostbusters figures alongside it. Indiana Jones was...well, a limited cast to do things with overall, but probably could have...
Yeah, I've got a feeling in the pit of my stomach that we're going to be getting even more bad news in the coming weeks, across all of their brands. Possibly even sweeping changes (admittedly we've already been getting those, I didn't see them outsourcing a bunch of brands like Power Rangers...
For SS86, I could use a couple more Junkion designs, as well as a couple more of the Quintessons.
Maybe animation painted Insecticons? Would people want that?
...If you want to get REALLY crazy, how about that giant squid that Kup & Hotrod fought?
