Hasbro Asia reveal wave of repaintsI can see myself buying the Deluxe toys, but I'm not sure about the Voyager selection yet. There's nothing wrong with the choices that were made. It's just that the moulds are obviously designed for different characters and (with the exception of Hot Spot) don't suit the G1 characters they're intended to recreate. Edit: Bother!

We saw the toys back when they were first announced months ago. ( March) 1 Wheelie per case? Come on..... Still at least it isn't Springer.

I do rather like the idea of that Springer - if you are going to do a Springer then a small combat helicopter I feel is more suitable than the Search-and-rescue bird that that they used before.
Not sure about the Megatron though - they seem to be aiming for a G2 Megatron homage, but somehow the sculpted armour seems somewhat unsuited to Megs. The Hot Spot is cracking though - a nice recolour of a great mold.

As close as I can find to making a Double Targetmaster so far... There are probably Arms Microns who do it better.

Ah, glad the preorder has reopened! I was cursing myself for having missed it at the weekend buried as it was under the Dark Energon Prime stuff. This set does indeed look great.

Mildly disappointed in the packaging. I was hoping for something in line with the G2 FOC Bruticus set.

I like that - if its an Asian exclusive good for them, those toys have done the rounds elsewhere before haven't they?

And the fanbase bitching will commence in 3...2...1... Well this is just too much! I paid stupid amounts for the Henkei versions and now Hasblow has come forward and done this! They are stabbling the fandom in the back and don't care about us.By making the figures more accessible they surely care *more* about the fandom?? Also lol worthy that someone was so incensed that they started an online petition, because y'know, huge international Toy companies will listen to those. www.petitions24.com/keep_thundercracker_exclusiveAs someone who actually paid the premium for the Japan store exclusives, this doesn't worry me at all tbh. I'm even tempted by the shiny!
