Yeah, Unicron was definitely my limit for a single item I think, and even that was on the basis of it effectively been a once in a lifetime thing.
This looks fantastic, but that price is not aimed at me. But fair play, it is as good an implementation of this as I think you could plausibly have...
Quick takes -
I genuinely guffawed when they called Shadowstriker sleek. She looks pretty awful proportions wise in both modes and is stuck with a massive kibble shield.
While Snarl is probably one of the better ones, the combined Dinobot looks a utter mess. The legs are just... Easy pass...
Still not sure the seeker is purple enough, but to be fair it also looks pretty like a dubious Photoshop job than an actual product photo.
I don't think Rook would fit the troop builder theme. Let's just have a separate Rook.
Wow those nasty painted baby blue windows make Prowl and Ironhide look awful. Awful. Battle damage seems naff too, and I really think people would have preferred a straight reissue of these. I feel sorry for people who were not able to get Prowl the first time.
The four pack looks great though...
Yeah, I would just say that was Jetfire really.
I guess I was wrong about this one - perhaps Hasbro's lawyers didn't consider the deal large enough to be market sensitive information. Still, nice to see new books. Hopefully we get the older IDW content reissued by Skybound in short order.
Depends on if the Combiner Wars mould is still usable/financially viable I guess. Might be for a subline. Is HFTD Tomahawk considered a "modern" tooling at this point?
Oof, that Shadow Striker is terrible. What the heck is that alt mode supposed to be.
At least she has clear windows, but it's clear that the cost cutting for Legacy deluxes has reached a point where you cannot successfully make a Transforming robot out of it.
It made me literally laughed out loud when they claimed he had painted windows "fitting in with the Studio Series" look. Literally only one single studio series toy (other than a couple of vehicles with tiny windows) above core class in the entire history of the line has had painted windows...
I laughed the other day that James Roberts tweeted something he'd found in his notebooks showing that the character who turned out to be Tarn was basically intended to be from that character's conception. He didn't expect anyone to believe it.
Yeah, I don't really value the playset idea, it would have to be so vast to be good it'll never happen.
Also the shape of the Nemesis would inevitably mean a fairly rubbish playset.
