    So, I can probably get the Defensor set, the Reprolabels kits for each character, and a set of black KO PE HFGs and not spend a gazillion dollars on the legit versions.

    It's felt a bit like that to me too, like a bunch of half-formed ideas and some last "in-demand" characters put out before a bit of a slight design philosophy shift for the Siege Trilogy.

    I also really like the look of Primal... but I can't help but feel he was stacking the vote a bit in favor of what Hasbro wanted. Because once you had someone from fan-favorite Beast Wars in the running... it was pretty much said and done. Which is especially egregious to me, since the Evolution gimmick was practically made for someone like Magnus or Star Saber.

    POTP Jazz I wanna get rid of it so badly. I won't need it cause I am planning on buying the several third party jazz figures, and I like to own one figure per character.

    That said...no way Star Saber sells better than Primal, so i get why Hasbro would want him to win

    That’s a fair point. Primal was by far the most likely sale.

    It just rings a bit of a false choice.

    Dear TF-Source,
    Please ship the TDW Volcanicus sets soon so I can swap out my current 4th party "Imperfect FX upgrade" setup currently keeping Volcanicus' chest in one place.
    Thanks,
    UZ

    Mine had the same issue, and it was due to the antennae not being folded down into the head all the way. I've put them all the way down and am hoping the heat in my non-air-conditioned house in East Texas will mold them back to their normal shape.

    Well The figure was weak, i dunno how I'll get rid of him. I am planning on getting one of the third party figures, and sense everyone is making a MP jazz consider myself lucky. I only collect MP figures (Unless they share the same mold, I'll buy their deluxe mold.)

    Ok, so you don't really want to be rid of him?
    Because I actually want him, no joke, but if you aren't really getting rid of him that's fine.

    Can't cause the whole teenager thing. But I should like to exchange it. It is fairly cheap on amazon, but swoop and slug are way better deluxes.

    Yep. If you're willing to buy them as a bunch, they have a V2 Defensor which is basically UW colours (if that's your thing).

    If I were you, I'd worry less about Abominus' antennae and more about survival! Our apartment A/C broke during a heat wave last mnth and I swear we barely made it...can't imagine East Texas!

    The "mouth open" expression on the Gammorean Guard is HYSTERICAL! So life-like and expressive!
