They’ll probably go inner robot colors since shell-based colors leads to robot and combined mode not looking anything like it’s supposed to. Two out of three as opposed to one.

I’d expect new robot and combiner heads at the most. Maybe new dinosaur heads with the dinoforce head armor but the altmodes are clearly not the altmodes or the shells so any way you slice it, they’d be inaccurate. Depending on the sculpt, hypothetical new dino heads might also lead to issues...

Youtube started recommending me news anchor hugups and I’m all for this.

It’s what happens when a figure has an awkward ab crunch due to having essentially no torso and the unfathomable trend among Chinese-language photographers to pose toys with their crotches perpendicular to their torsos.

The base combiner is decent but not the slam dunk it needed to be to offset the individual robots. If a giftset has feet, that’s a neat little bonus but tbh, the arms need more help.

As is the capacity to take a bit of ribbing, apparently.

Continuity talk is the exact opposite of having fun.

The pet shop finally got some more similis cories, so i bought another half dozen to make school of 12-15 by my estimates. They're fast, like to hide and relatively small so counting those things is impossible.

That's true. I just find this set's super-greebly aesthetics makes the contrast between modes worse. Plane barnacles.

It's criminal how they never bring back Optimus' finger of doom but I can see how such a powerful ability can constrain writing.

So the problem is that it makes other developers look bad?

It could have been three hundred, three hundred thousand or three hundred million years and it wouldn't matter since it was just an excuse to get the Autobots and Decepticons out of the picture. Doubly so since there's time travel involved anyway. The writers could have written it as the...

It’s pretty much the only design choice of note with this thing. It’s otherwise a generic anime girl figurine in cosplay and in a scale that's not popular among the anime figurine crowd. This company’s all over the place it seems. Out of this lineup, just the datsuns have been released, and...

The stock photos show there's some movement there but this is probably as far as they go. The arms look somewhat restricted too. This render doesn't really show how the shoulder armor attaches but the sample makes it look as though they're pinned to the torso and just move up and down. Given...

The best part is the Looney Tunes-esque limp tank cannon. But seriously, there had to be better ways to attach a helmet. Hell, just sculpt it on, nobody wants a bald Bludgeon.

Takara charges more for nearly identical toys. It's not limited to the guardian Robot. I don't know why and I don't agree with it but it's something they regularly do. Nemesis costs $53 more. I dunno, maybe they figured they could get away charging a bit more because exclusivity. I also...

Yeah, Takara does charge a lot but I dunno about comparing unlicensed toys manufactured in China to the official toys manufactured in Vietnam(?). I'd chalk it up to the guardian robot having a market that is a niche of a niche, having gigantic packaging and having to coordinate a new run of...

It works well enough as vague background setting. They could have made it more specific but ultimately, that just wasn't their priority and I mostly agree.

Maybe on a sale or something. $120 is a lot for a novelty but it is indeed a very novel novelty. Cartoon colors misses the point so hard that it would just be wasting money.
