    Looks awesome! Definitely better than the first movie deluxe. I lurve me some Barricade so I'll definitely get this guy.

    Whats with all the negative 'moustache' comments....it looks just like the head on the HA version, and everyone seems to gush about that toy (me included)

    ...meh. even with inferior articulation, the previous deluxe looks better.

    but my opinion is unpopular anyway. I think the only HA toy that looked good out of car mode was jazz.

    He does look a lot better than the first one. I like his head a lot!

    I'm with you on that. And I think the old deluxe continues to have a lot going for it. I still like it better than the HA.

    This does look more posable than either of them, but I don't see many other obvious advantages, and do see a few disadvantages.

    I think "more posable" and "more accurate" outweigh "white spoiler."

    the spoiler actually doesn't bother me much at all. I just like the proportions better on the old deluxe.

    Some things the new figure does more accurately, but I'm not seeing any giant strides here. Accuracy isn't a huge deal for me anyway.

    Yikes! That's a face even Prime wouldn't want!

    Looks solid, nice that he's finally got two hands. I might snag him on a whim, but since i already have HA Barry, and nipple probe Barry, I don't think he's going to be a must have.

    On the plus side, he looks awesome and I will purchase him (have been thinking about getting the HA version, but this trumps that).

    On the minus side, he has a fucking robo-rake for a weapon.

    I have the original deluxe and HA version of this guy...my one main gripe on this version is that they better paint the rest of his face :p  otherwise he looks pretty cool.

    Gotta be honest - the idea that we might get new molds for the 1st movie characters is really cool - bring on TFTM Jazz & TFTM 74 BB 2.0!

    This might be the deluxe I am looking forward to the most. I really liked Barricade in the first movie, but I'm not a huge fan of his first movie deluxe figure. I really like how he is kind of a shrunken down-ish version of his HA figure, kind of like how BB Bumblebee is. Now if only they would do the same for Jazz...

    I like the color scheme on this Barracade. He'll fit nicely with the other 7 Barracades on display. I thought he was the best looking figure from the 1st movie, and a definite top 5 from the 2nd. I'm all for re-releases on this guy.
