I'll definitely get the Hasbro version of Thunderhoof. The blue looks so much better.
With Quillfire I am a bit undecided. I like the Hasbro color scheme better but the gold on Takara's looks realy cool and they gave him his symbol. But I'm sure labels will fix that and I can give him some gold and other paint details on my own.
Yeah, I'll stick to Hasbro this time.

But isnt that the whole point of the character?

I like the character even though I don't watch the show. The antlers look pretty nice to me.

I agree. It's the whole reason I will pick him up. If I ever see him.
He would only have been better in green...

Only for americans
Amiami is for the whole world and now there is no way I can get these for too cheap. There is HLJ though. Bah, I will just stick with Hasbro, I collect the cons more for their interesting designs than their deco (since that is all the auobots have, and boy was it lacking bad with some).
One thign I noticed, the discount is not the same. It's now only 25% and not 30%. And I checked, nippon yassan and big in japan dont carry these tav figures. So its only amiami and HLJ for japan retailers selling internationally.
Hey woah, speak of the devil, here is the HLJ Preorder

Same price as Amiami

The cheapest shipping option is about $8 to the US. It goes up from there

I've only ever bought single figures (I'm still new to importing) and it's $6.44 so I assume it'll only be a bit more for two.

And it will cost you less to ship them both. If you want to do it, I would not hesitate, if history holds true, these two shouuld be sold out at HLJ by next week.

I am currently really struggling with these. Last year was all takara because of how blatant it all was (strongarm, Drift, Jazz), but so far this year wasnt all that bad on the Hasbro front with Megatronus and Fracture. I am even ok with Quillfire. But thunderhoof, I dont know. Yes, Takara's is great but I have big issues with how the figure turned out. He doesnt have the thunderhoof proportions with the wide upper chest. And what really ticks me off is that headsculpt. His face looks so small with that thick head guard around it. It's not supposed to be that thick. There isnt supposed to be any off the sides of his face before you get to the antlers.
He's available for preordering now at 16$ US +shipping and while that is not unreasonable, I dont know if just getting him for less than that at retail without the shipping would be better to just get this toy to play with. What I mean to say is that paint wont turn this imperfect toy perfect so I dont think its worth the extra importing cost this time

You are right, he doesn't look like in the show, but I think he looks cool.
And they gave him the wide upper chest, it's just not that obvious because the parts that widen it are black.
But Takara painted those parts to give him that look from the show.
I hope Reprolabels fixes that or I'll paint it by myself.

And it kinda looks like the Warrior's deco is based on the mold layout of the Legion's deco.

Haha I got mixed up. I'm stupid. They look the same to me other than the wheels.
Whatever it's a Japan import, let Japan have their fun with it, but I don't really care about that thing.

Because I wanted to share my distaste for this 30th repaint of the same Bumblebee figure.

But it's not, it's a TT release for their public - separate from the profit-focused ones hasbro used to splurge out, which, by the way, they've gotten much better about within the rid line
