The lightsaber probably would have failed regardless of who it belonged to. $500 is insane and as I understand, the roleplay segment of the fandom isn't as big as the figure collectors. As long as the transformers campaigns focus on making mainline but with more bells and whistles, it should do...

Huh, Powerlinx colors somehow make this thing look way better. Remembering the chain and the breaking clips keeps temptation at bay though.

Regular Optimus already has a lot of red. Adding a bit more red doesn't change him much. I dunno, between that and the trailer being lame and a barren winter wasteland, not feeling it.

Wish robot mode had more white or forest green. It comes across as a slightly more adventurous Optimus than a Christmas-themed one.

And break after one transformation. Maybe none if you’re Hound.

I hope it does well enough to get more stretch goals. I don't dislike the throne and stand but those just eat up valuable shelf estate. I'd prefer something more toyetic than display options to sweeten the deal, even if it is just more repainted Micromasters or something. I dunno, give him the...

Sounds great. Shipping during the Holiday season makes me doubtful though.

Cobra Commander would open a dog-walking service if he could convince himself that it would somehow lead to world domination

I prefer his localized, age-appropriate name Shadowrealmsaurus

Just assume tThe Quintesson repaired them off screen once he finished Optimus and Goldbug.

Hasbro doesn't get to decide that. The big retailers do.

Making her a headmaster would probably mean they'd reuse the TR style headmaster, which would make her somewhat bobbleheaded given the smaller size and slimmer build.

I believe all Haslab does is make the budget much more flexible. They still need to adhere to the usual regulations

It’s basically a mid 2010’s 3rd party toy but without the need for stickers or goofy names.

That would probably tank confidence in later Haslab crowdfund projects, so I doubt it.

TBH, when they revealed a perceptor, it was only a matter of time. Not like he can be repainted into anyone else.

Don't think they're exactly making bank off Haslab stuff because it costs as much R&D if not more, as an average retail figure of the same approximate size and they sell less units. I mean, sure, there's a premium baked into the pricetag and they'd earn enough to make it worth their while but...

Eh. It’s honestly not worth the hit to aesthetics at MP scale. The compromises would be less egregious at CHUG or Legends scale.

Trailer is disappointing. Missed chance for a candy cane combat deck or weaponized mistletoe. Or string christmas lights all over DOTM Prime's ring trailer.

Being next to the slamdunk that is Victory Saber makes Ginrai look even sadder.
