Then you'd best be getting the 1 Step Changer since that's the only Pagani Stinger toy that Hasbro's making.Madeus Prime wrote:Still going to wait until Stinger is released. I'll always choose any car over a Camaro, especially when it's a Pagani

Keep in mind that while Hasbro has no confirmed plans for a Deluxe Stinger, we have yet to hear from TakaraTomy. Even then, they may just repaint Bumblebee and not reshell him at all and release him as an exclusive to boot.

Does he need a new molded chin? The new one's mouth/chin area looks very wasp/bee like.

Well he doesn't need one, per-say, but I'd like to do one that would resemble animated since I like the character and would like to keep it for myself

Fair enough! Be sure to share some pictures with us when you get it completed. A Waspinator and/or Stinger from Bumblebee would be right up my alley!

I will! It's my first full figure repaint and right now I'm juggling school and work but I'll get it done!

Hard to see, but he can:
If only they'd given him some little ball-jointed hinges for the shriuken (Probably mispelled) peg-holes
Sorry I missed this.I think this is cool.

Even at 30$ on clearance, I didn't want the DOTM version. The AOE Leader bee is just a repaint of the DOTM one. With almost all the paint aps removed. Without the BFG backpack. And the thing will sell for 55-60$ in Canadian stores.
So,

They're selling a toy, not a comic book here.
I'd like a new head for this guy.

Takara Tomy: Movie Advanced Optimus Prime Rusty Version
Posted by shajaki on September 1st, 2014 @ 11:58am CDT
i get people who say hes not as accurate as he should be, but i still think its a beautiful figure. bits like the rusty hub caps are a real nice touch. i think if this prime shook all the dust off, he'd end up looking like hasbros rusty prime

Will anyone actually buy this? Not me. In fact the ONLY movie toy I've gotten so far is Evasion Prime. And that's only because he is more like G1 Prime than Bayverse Prime.
And as I predicted, NO one is buying those ridiculous shampoo bottles which Hasbro is calling 'action figures'.

They may be selling some because they keep making them. Still, I can understand the one-step changers and such. However, I don't get those big, unpainted brics at all. Make them GI-Joe sized and sell them for 2$ at the dollar store and it will be fine. Instead, they are fawking huge and go for 10-15$ each. WTF, man?!
BTW, dude, by not buying voyager Hound, Grimlock, and Galvatron, you are missing out.

You are not angry enough. If you get even angrier, Hasbro will totally listen to you.

From what I've heard, Hasbro is making a killing on the "Shampoo Bottle" toys in the world-wide market for whatever reason (think areas of the world where you don't expect to find Transformers that often). I have a feeling those extremely simplified toys will be around for a while unfortunately.

Because Hasbro's one better reflects how he looked in the movie in both modes instead of just in truck mode like Takara's does. Takara's robot mode is albino from head to toe, whereas both Hasbro's and the movie version two-toned.welcometothedarksyde wrote:Love Takara's evasion mode Optimus. I prefer it to the Hasbro one. Seems like alot of people are tending towards the opposite. Anyone know why?
Posted by Noideaforaname on September 1st, 2014 @ 4:14pm CDT
There's that "Farmageddon" one, though I think it'd just be easier/cheaper to get the regular one on clearance and leave it outside until it's faded and weather-beaten.

I think the black head would have looked better as well. Too much red.
