That's nothing to do with clear windows. Smallfoot has four different oranges despite no clear windows. Hasbro is just bad at matching finishes and colours, because they don't prioritise it.

I mean I can sort of understand the shiny/gold variants, but it makes no sense that you have to buy literally dozens of duplicates to have a chance of getting the standard Megatron design.

Kinda neat, but the basic Megatron being 1/100 rarity? That's very silly.

Thanks - I know the FB embedding code is pretty unfriendly.

Japan doesn't have work for hire contracts, you have to make an explicit assignment of copyright contractually (as you do in the UK/Guernsey where James Roberts lives). But Takara probably just didn't bother for the manga - authors don't like such assignments, and if they don't have to sign...

Is there currently a functioning way to embed Facebook posts? The embed iFrame code that Facebook provides doesn't seem to work, and posting the permalink into the media embed box doesn't work either. Thanks!

Congrats on the anniversary, and thanks to Kal and the other staff over the years who have kept the place here as a nice constant.

SS86 Prime *does* have clear windows, they just have opaque plastic immediately behind them so they look stupid. The cracking potential of clear plastic is vastly overstated. As we saw with the Autobot five pack, where they got rid of the clear plastic and Wheeljack was more fragile than the...

Yes it does, but that's the least of that things problems. My SS86 Prime arrived today. Probably the worst QC'ed figure I've ever had from Hasbro. Stray paint all over the place, needed a dremel to the head panel to even transform, blast effects look like worms because they are so twisted...

The budget for SS has clearly been cut below the level required to make functional toys. That Prime looks dire.

I feel like this is a bit of an oversimplification - there was also the intersection of the UK fandom with the US one for the first time back then, which is way, way, way more comic focused than the US one (and the UK theatrical release also noted that Optimus wasn't permanently dead at the...

I am pleasantly surprised at how good that is.

They're reasonable enough. But it is difficult to commit without knowing if the others are going to have painted windows.

I'm sorry for him, that's a lame thing to happen. Hopefully new opportunities present themselves. I continue to doubt that Hasbro is being run in a sustainable fashion.

Paramount confirms the US streaming release to buy is October 22nd. Physical in the US December 17th. No announcements of international dates (and given Paramount's usual operating model I would not expect one imminently).

it must be said that Galvatron looks significantly less blue and more correct in the pictures from the Breakfast presentation. I dunno, I only ever bought one so maybe getting one without the battle damage/fixed shoulders and the correct colour might work, if I can find one on sale. But he...

The Takara Millennium Falcon was okay. And the Death Star Vader. Anyway, this? Hasbro "make silver or grey areas without a horrible, horrible finish" challenge? Impossible. Some shiny paint ala Gigawatt would have *really* helped here, especially at the price point.

Painted windows. Skip.

It is hard to see how you could make that work given the wheelbase is a standard HW size.
