I think there should be a “honorary mention” for the Core Class this year. Rattrap and Vertebreak were nice enough, but it was the “main character” releases that blew me away this year. As much as we grumble about yet another Optimus, or Starscream, or Megatron…it’s hard to deny what Hasbro delivered this year (especially in light of the price creep we’ve been seeing across the board).
Even the weakest figures delivered on what they offered, but Soundwave and Starscream are just ASTOUNDING at the $10 price point. Especially in light of some of the issues larger figures (at larger prices) have had.
