Not keen on the vacuum-metallized bits, but I like the card art...

I love the new Henkei figures packaging. I'll be sure to let you all know when I find the Ironhide carded image!

I agree. Why does Japan get great art, and we get the "dull surprise"?

I think the "dull surprise" artwork was only on the first wave of Universe.

not quite sure that they realised by chroming the turret, they chromed one arm!

Meh, this is the first Henkei I haven't ordered, but, I agree that the artwork is excellent.

I have to see what this fig looks like out of package before making any judgment.

Takara or not, it's still the worst mold of the line.

O zing. Gotta agree on that one. A little Japanese intervention is still appreciated though, so I might hit this one up sometime.

I disagree. I love my Galvatron. Te Henkei version, not so much, the chromed turret looks out of place and forced to me.

I was kinda hoping to see the full card. Like the back? I would like to see the bot mode.

Am I the only person who thinks all the plastic chrome on the henkei figs really detracts from them.

Agreed!

I especially enjoy how CRAZY the art makes him look... much more appropriate than the "dull suprise" expression on the US card.

No, quite a few people think that.

I'm not totally sold on the chrome turret but this is definitely one I'll be picking up to complete my Henkei collection.
I agree with everyone, that the artwork is amazing
