Jings. If I had the cash I would say this is worth a double dip. There are enough differences between the two. My heart swings more towards PM Prime though. Not just because of the cost but because he was in a large chunk of Marvel TF so it pushes my nostalgia button very hard indeed.

Smyths is my hope. Even another £6 off £20 might tempt me.

I do wish they'd just show him transformed with normal feet.
Much prefer the Takara Titan face.

Nice to see that the Titan Master is different, giving another option for mixing and matching. I do like his proper Hi-Q paint job as well.
I'd missed this before, but those look like additional peg holes in his fore arms. They could be good for some of the Titan Master weapons (specifically I'm thinking of Nightbeat's drill tank).

HLJ hlj.com/product/TKT86849/ActThey want ¥6,800, currently £51.33 plus postage plus a super heated poker so Kapow's £70 looks good and, as we said, their £60 was a steal. The list price of ¥8,500 is currently £64.16 |

So is this new better version, without the vulva chest, is this the Takara version or something? Help! No one answered! I need you people to explain these things to me! I can't possibly work it out by myself, it's too complicated! What's a Postmaster Prime?! This newer version looks far superior. |

I shall answer. Ginrai and Powermaster Prime are sufficiently different that one can choose the one they prefer. I think Ginrai looks nicer in pictures but is outside of my grasp cost-wise so I will plump for the more affordable PM Prime. I have had a shot at playing with the latter so I know I will enjoy it anyway.
Postmaster Prime is the super-form of Postman Pat.

So so so the newer and better version, with the better chest, is the Takara version?

So does. You just don't want to picture postmen having seen Pat the Movie cos it brings back the bad memories.

Yes, the Takara version. It's been remodelled to make it look more like Super Ginrai from the Masterforce cartoon; the Japanese equivalent to Powermaster Prime. So it's even further away from looking like a remould of Ultra Magnus. It seems to have a weird leg transformation that makes him taller than the Hasbro one, which people are suggesting is so he can fit into an expansion kit the original had called Godbomber (Apex armour in the US). Apart from the odd feet it looks a little more refined than the Hasbro one, but costs a bit more. Until we get in hand news we won't know if that price increase is just to cover the new moulding, or if there's something else (like possibly diecast parts, as the original had a diecast cab).
Edit: gah. I HATE the way proboards tricks you into not noticing you're reading the last post on a page and there's a WHOLE NUTHER page of replies that mean you didn't have to waste time typing what you just did.

Pinwing darling, I thank you, no post has ever helped clear up so many TF questions for me. Godbomber (thought for ages that was on of Phil's made-up TF names...), Apex, what was ftom what series. NOW IT MAKES SENSE.
