Some people expect Super Megatron levels of "repainting" each times I guess?

They said that they find Hauler to be a good repaint but not Artfire, so I'm assuming their issue is that Artfire is still partially the same color as Inferno...but saying the only use of the mold who isn't just one solid color is lazy is still a weird take.Sabrblade wrote:To some, redecos of any kind are "lazy" because "We could have gotten another character in a whole new mold instead!"-Kanrabat- wrote:Hellscream9999 wrote:Wait, how is artfire "lazy" when inferno has no deco, he's just a red robot

Nemesis Reformatted wrote:I'll never understand why everybody goes nuts over Artfire. It's not even a good repaint. It's just Inferno with some white bits. A full repaint like Hauler makes sense to me. But Artfire looks incredibly lazy like they weren't even trying. It looks like a prototype Inferno where some of the parts haven't been molded in the final colors yet.
News Story wrote:For those who aren't aware, Artfire is a character who originated in the Japanese G1 continuity. His toy was released in 1987 as repaint of Inferno in the Headmasters toyline. This will be his first toy to be released outside of Japan.

Nice!
This bid well for other Nippon exclusives.

Can't we just order 2 Artfires and cancel 1? Does it have to be a different figure?o.supreme wrote:TF-fan kev777 wrote:The price was surprisingly lower than I expected. $36.99 is really in line with the $30 Voyager and $6 Battlemaster pricing with the extra dollar covering the extra blast effects.

Awesome. I just did the same thing. (But cancelled my other Transmutate right away) Now all my Pulse orders are consolidated to get free shipping.

o.supreme wrote:Any order over $50 will get you free shipping. But I think TF-fan (like me), may have had Transmute on a separate order by itself which didn't have free shipping. Combining them both together gets that done, and cancelling the previous order eliminates the extra shipping charge on another order.
If you order 2 Artfires in a single order just to put it over $50, then later cancel one, I'm not sure if the Free Shipping will still apply (The same could be said for any multi-item order where you cancel items and then total goes back below $50)...
