    My local retailer has the preorders for these figures as seperate figures, so its pretty much guaranteed they'll be released individually.

    So far 3 preordered, waiting on the final 2 :D

    Sigh. I knew they were going to do the cartoon/wrong colors, but it's still disappointing to see it confirmed. The toy still looks really nice and I'm not even going to hesitate to buy it, but it would look so much better with the proper red chest.

    I want it, but the chrome makes me nervous. I just know that's gonna flake off.

    Cartoon colors are fine for me.

    They're bound to do a 2nd set with the toy/wrong colors.

    I'd much prefer no chrome, especially from a second-tier company, but this is small and cheap enough to give it a shot and see how it does. Much rather find out on a Legends figure than an expensive MP.

    I would've preferred silver paint over chrome myself.


    Ah well.

    Damn that looks nice. I may well end up getting the WiP Dinobots, even though I didn't intend to collect in this scale.
