Finally, he's up & We can see him with all the other figures. In my opinion the gangs more or less in proportion now. All we need is a voyager Bonecrusher (without huge bulky things hanging off his arms) & a leader Blackout, then the gangs perfect size.

However I was disappointed looking through the gallery. In some gallery's Ryan (?) has included pictures from during transformation. That was what I really wanted to see with Brawl.

I don't suppose I could request for this some time in the future, I want to know how he transforms but I can't buy him (lack of money, & living in England so late releases).

Other than that, fantastic gallery & Brawl looks great. I would consider getting him via ebay or some other online site but the postage would be more than the price of the figure! Oh well. Thanks Ryan!

Don't worry man he'll cum to us eventualy!

Woot, another Englishman ^^
I guess so, I finally saw a Leader Megs in the local Gamelys the other day, which is something. I haven't checked my nearest TRU in a while so they may finally have more deluxes than just the protoforms... *sigh*

Ah, apologies, I should have put European.

Do you get them sent over, or do you visit regularly?
I have the same thing with manga, Samurai Deeper Kyo is released earlier in Europe than in England (23 issued in england currently, 30something in france). So I got to France every now & then to get Manga XD

I'm really disappointed with the feet with Brawl. They may be ball jointed but they sure don't look very posable. That's really making me second guess buying this guy. Guess I'll just have to wait to see it in person before making the final call. Am I the only one who feels this way?

I go and visit my grandparents each year, that's also the only way for me to get the TF coics cheap (+ signed every now and then!). I'm going back this friday! Whooo

Nope, I feel like that also, however it's not the feet, it's the whole £40 issue. I want to be absolutely 100% that he's worth it before I spend the money, it's very rarely that I have that much money. I'd preferably like to have a look at an out-of-box one but I don't know anyone who'd buy it.

You know, we have an office over there in the UK and it blows me away that everything there costs the same in pounds as it does here in dollars-number wise. Is Brawl really a 80 dollar figure, probably not...

I know! It's crazy isn't it! I don't mind so much with the £10/$10 deluxes, but when it gets to leader size it's too much...

his out in my area, his pretty big actually...

Believe me, it's well worth the money. Poses great, complex transformation (on par with Leader Prime) and the most gimmicks of all movie Transformers. The feet might not be super poseable, but think about it, most figures of that size never had poseable feet anyway, so I don't know why it would be such an important requirement all of a sudden. Brawl can still be posed cool without having his feet flat on the ground.

I usually only do the transformation images when it's a figure that I haven't seen the transformation for or if I think it provides a level of entertaining value to the gallery (such as showing Metroplex's transformation for example). I've seen several Brawl galleries already so I didn't feel the need to do the transformation pics especially since his gallery was so large already.

I'll try to keep this in mind for future releases though that are more complex like Brawl.

Thank you very much, I hadn't even thought of looking for other gallerys. Seibertron has everything a TF fan needs XD

I understand you wouldn't want to do it for everyone, it'd be an extra 10 or more photo's to take & upload each time. Sorry, I didn't think before asking. ^^

It's interesting to see how different lighting affects this figure's color in digital photos. The one at tfclub.com looks more green whereas mine looks more Brown. The figure is actually an olive color which appears to be difficult to exactly capture the color. Some of the photos in my gallery look dead on to his correct color scheme but in others he looks more brown than he should. Very interesting.

Hey,Ryan,Where did you get Brawl?

Nice Pics.

I bought him from Toy-Wave.com when they had him in stock about 2 weeks ago.

Am I the only one who is very disapointed with leader brawl on the evidence of this (and other) galleries?

Ignoring robot mode for a second, lets list the problems (as I see it) with the alt mode:

Poorly hidden feet.
Very obvious missmatching of molded and painted colours (could be down to photography)
No atempt what-so-ever to hide his head.
Transparent end of main gun barrel and entirly transparent missil pods.
Random extra kibble on the front between the two sets of prongs (which im certain was not in the movie).

I think overall his robot mode looks pretty good, but for a leader class toy to have that many glaring (and lazy) flaws in alt mode is just crap.

Hasbro will have to work a LOT harder to make me part with £50 for this toy.
