TBF the SS86 Optimus might have wonky animated proportions and white instead of silver. It might not even have the trailer drone or Roller (though I'm not too worried about that since it's a Commander).
Really glad to see Swoop's wings can bend forward so he has a bit of poseability in dino mode standing up. Would have liked the blue to be a bit more metallic though.
Came here to suggest Muppets, but the Studebaker from the first movie! I'd also take a Kamen Rider bike, and Mr. Miyagi's car from Karate Kid....and a Batmobile, though I don't know which one people would most want. Mine would probably be Batman/ Batman Returns.
Tracks really deserves a great toy, too. I don't really care about the character per se, but such a great vehicle mode, deco, and MASK deployment features, it really should be a knockout figure playwise.
Character decos for nostalgic figures, like Jhiaxus, have been pretty accurate so far for Legacy. Also, there was that design artwork that had the Skyquake mold in slightly more G1 colours. Considering they haven't done Dinoking or Monstructor from the mini Dinobots yet, I'm still holding out...
So, in the dynamics of the Thundercats team, are the thunderkittens supposed to be "house cats", even though they'll grow up to be "big cat" species Thundercats?
If I were a betting man, I'd 100% take this as an example of "pre-use" for those swords, and a potential sign that they'll be released with Swoop, as rumoured, or potentially another weapons pack down the road.
I STRONGLY feel like they should move up to two commanders a year, considering all of the characters they have price bumped up into that class, and the number of truck characters they've been wanting to do. It would also give them a bit more space to do redecoes of existing molds (Let's go...
So I just opened SS86 Ultra Magnus and WOW, photography on this figure was so misleading. Even seeing pictures from earlier in this thread showed him as a slightly more mellow blue, closer to the movie or a darker version of his toy blue, but in person it has a LOT more purple to it, I'm...
I still feel like, if they had just set ATC in-universe, as fans of the originals or having to step up bc the originals weren't there or something, the movie would have gone over a lot better, and could have served as a bridge for Afterlife.
What I'm REALLY hoping for, is a wave of Plasma Series based on the original cartoon. The only other modern, animation based figures we have the Diamond Select ones, which are like $100 each now.
Beast Wars Quickstrike
Beast Machines Thrust
G2 Hooligan (retool into alt cyberjet mold)
G2 Manta Ray
Prime Jet Vehicon
I would have said Armada Sideways as well, but I really feel to do his minicon gimmick justice he'd have to be voyager.
I'm somewhat confidant that any remolding they do will be intended to pull double duty as Dinoking & Monstructor, with a fair bit of compromise in there. If they're setting it up as a box set, that also might mean additional new parts or accessories, like some of the Combiner Wars boxed sets.
