Shiny - YESSSS!!!
New head - Pointy. But I don't see how it's more show-accurate.

I'm glad I sold my Leader Prime to reinvest in this figure. Looks better! I wish Hasbro would have released the premium paint figures at the same time as the rest of the line for more money. Say, $39.99 regular or $49.99 premium.

He looks good but I still think I'm gonna skip him. I already have Leader and NightWatch Prime, I can't see needing another one.

Then again, if I can sell regular Leader Prime at a fair price to myself...

I already customized mine so I'll pass.

I would like to see it with a gun not with that weird blue sword.
But nice head sculpt.

Bunnymus prime. That;s how his head loks. He's a rabbit now. Great.

The paint seems better, but I don't like the head sculpt, I prefer the old leader class one... This one looks like a bunny

I didn't see your post before posting mine, but that's what I thought, he looks like a rabbit

. Good one on "Bunnymous Prime", you're so right!

His ears are kind of pointy, did he have ears that long and pointy and the movie? I thought these new units are suppose to be more show accurate.

The head isnt more show-accurate at all!
I still prefer the normal Leader-class' head....

last i checked the sword was $60 alone

i dont think the pictures do it justice, it may look alot better in the flesh

also i think it has transforming sounds when the head pops up, rather than those laser sounds
