    The color he ALWAYS should have been. Well done.

    I don't understand why FansToys did his bad animated-episode Season 3 colors, rather than his Movie / good animated-episode colors.

    Thanks!

    Mine is a little bit TOO blue (closest I could get for what I wanted) but I'd rather it be too blue than too red of a purple.

    Got mine when it first came out (around 2 years ago) so I tried to save the shipping costs but it came out around the same price with the box on other sites (I checked afterwards). Now I have this new Quietus/Cyclonus in this shiny new box and Galvy...no box...

    Here's hoping. I have one, but I know someone else that missed out that would like a chance.

    Acetone is eating paint/colour material. I have been using it for a long time to to strip paint from pewter models. Furthermore it DESTROYS plastic. For those in the know, I used it as an experiment on some bits I had bought from ebay, that among them had one 40k terminator powerfist...
    Well, lets say that terminator now loves papa nurgle more than he ever did. Long story short: It bloated the hand and caused it to become rubbery, almost elastic to the point where I could strech the fingers like gum...

    Haven't heard anything yet but it seems likely given how quickly he's sold out each time. I wouldn't bet on it being soon, though - the last reissue was just a couple of months ago.

    I would love an X release of Sovereign using the paint color of Quietus. Hopefully we get some news of a Sovereign-X release soon. After seeing Phoenix get two releases and an X treatment it would be awesome if Sovereign got that treatment given that the regular release is sold out from retailers now and many people are in favor of a repaint.

    For folks with the re-issue: does the cannon pop out easily in robot mode?

    I am still surprised that we are nearing the end of the second decade of MPs and that there is only one viable Galvatron out there.....

    Same. I love my Sovereign, but Takara has yet to announce one. And xTransbots' is no where to be seen. He's one of the leaders, I'm surprised there hasn't been more competition.

    Takara is still scared to death to any post 86 G1 but Autobots.
    And even that has been a while.

    Following the recent trend of releases, it would appear that they are stalking the competition for 'appraisal purposes'.

    As we've seen season 3 MP characters isn't on Takara's top priority list.

    Oh, we're going to get Starscream v3 before we get Galvatron. I'd bet the bank on that.

    I hope FansToys does a third run, I know some people who want a Galvatron but still haven't pulled the trigger on Sovereign.

    Not sure what they're waiting on. By now everyone knows how quickly FT products become scarce. I recommend they buy it to lock in their copy. They can always sell it later if they decide they no longer want it.
