The red thighs are a deal breaker for me too. I got Hasbro's Ultra Magnus months ago, and I couldn't be happier. Those green feet are a deal breaker for me on Springer too. Even though the desaturated green and yellow are closer to the colors on the animation model, the more vibrant green and yellow on the Hasbro version just pop so much better, and I appreciate the two tones of grays to break things up further and create a more dynamic look. In fact, that helps emulate the color layout of the animation model that much better. That Takara Arcee, though, is perfection. She's the definitive version for my Classics collection.

I have the Hasbro Springer (on the left), and he looks much better than the Takara one. The colors just contrast better.
In some ways, the Hasbro one looks like it SHOULD be the Takara one, and vice versa. THAT'S how much better the Hasbro one looks than the Takara one.

I agree and I'm usually a Takara stalwart.

Are you saying Hasbro's deco is much lamer than it might look on pics?
fenrir72 wrote:A bit of truth in the statement. Though I won't go to the extreme in the term "lame". Maybe depending on the monitor quality or the picture from the uploads.
The color hue tends to go wacky that when you see the actual item, you go wha?
TT Sandstorm was a good example of this issue. TT Springer compared to the HB, well to each his own preference but imo, the latter would serve as a good base unit for a custom. As it's too dull (the again that's my personal preference).
That or just like people, some figures are more photogenic than others.

Wait, which Springer do you think is "dull?" If it's the Takara Tomy one, I think you mean "the former" instead of "the latter."

What I hate about TT is the 6 month wait.
