The toy is a lot better than any of the comic books he's appeared in.

He looks about Deluxe-class size.

Toy looks good, good review. The character though doesn't grip me.

Man...I'm so on the fence on these Generations toys!!  I know I would be all for getting them if the stupid gestalt limbs had individual modes... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Must Resist the Temptation of the NEW!  But a new Unicron!? That just might get me back into collecting! Link doesn't work though... Pete |

Silly question perhaps, and one that I've probably missed an aswer to due to the fact I only pay attention to the boards now when something is being released I'm totally into buying..
But, I see Kapow are getting Generations in over the next week or so, anyone know if thats going to be a general UK release or just them?

I think a general uk release is expected. Trawl through the last few days on TFW2005's uk sightings, it's been discussed there

Fantastic.
It's a deluxe? I had thought it was a voyager? No matter, it's a toy I've waited 25 years for! I'll take it in any size.

I havent seen one toy in the Generations line yet that I dont want.

All Generations toys are dlx - WFC & Universe 3
The Voyagers are in the former Movie line. But even they - as you'll know from seeing Seaspray - are looking more like the traditional TF style.

Look at the numbering on the front bumper - M17 for Marvel 17, his first appearance.

I think I have seen that mode on it when the early pictures came out. I quite like it, has a bit of a Spartas/Gunhed/Guntank kind of vibe to it. I hadn't noticed the hull code though, that is a rather nice nod. Karl |
