UK fans are mostly the only ones who (correctly) think this is the correct Galvatron deco.
It doesn't surprise me that it sells out so fast on Pulse UK, where most american fans are being kinda whiny instead of being glad both decoes are being done.

IIRC this is the first new Galvatron to have that deco since 1986 so it has a certain draw. It's not a usual type of repaint.

I did a wee Twitter thread last night to try and see whether or not you could actually describe Selects Galvatron as being in Marvel colours or not: And the answer is... I mean, I guess, if you want, sure.

He's a hybrid. Wrong colored "pontoons" for marvel, wrong colored forearms for the toy.

I'm sorry but, looking at him front-on, those shoulder pontoons are ridiculously big.
Initially I was only banging on about it because I like saying the word 'pontoons', but now... Oh dear God ...

Having handled Phil's normal one, the pontoons look fine in-person.

The mould does not photograph well. It looks absolutely fine in person.

That seems to be a pretty big running theme with "WfC".

I wasn't keen on SS86 Kup in pictures but when I got one for my birthday I saw that it looks absolutely fine in-person.

Transmutate has been dispatched.
For some reason I don't fully understand, I'm getting very excited for her! Though I'm disappointed in the limitations of the mold. I spent an hour last night fiddling with Skelivore trying to get him to mimic her traditional form, and there's just no way to do it.

Can't remember if I've posted here before, so I'll post (again?) anyway. This is the best I've been able to get her, following work from Chris McFeely (in fact it's entirely his - I just moved the head):

I got mine in today!
In hand, if they had given her a new skull (not even lower jaw), and new dino arms, she would have made a spectacular cryolophosaurus.

I'll admit I had to look that up. But you're not wrong.

It's stupid but i kinda wish they'd retooled the end of the ladder to be able to equip the targetmaster on it.

Should have been a 5mm port on it from the word go to attach the gun/nozzle

Grapple's crane has a 5mm port on the end, so it's kind of daft that Inferno's ladder doesn't have one.

Also the end of RiD, and Jhiaxus rumors are around, and this would make his third toy. My guess would be Kranix or Arbulus Only thing I got off the top of my head are the Torchbarers, and Scrounge. Gobot? Leader-1 or Cy-Kill? Diaclone? Red Mirage? Blue Bluestreak? (Yes we had blue Bluestreak but the guy literally doesn't know the sixth one, so witness who doesn't know everything. Not a complaint, just an observation)

2015 was late CW early TR. Also RiD 2015. Loads of first run characters there.

Kranix came in the Quint Pit. It's a figurine. A figurine is a toy. -Ralph
