its a hard call as they both are high in price lol but they both have pro and cons. i think Henkei is the better of the 2 so far.
Kind of odd you have a Takara figure in your sig then. I think the Classics Bumblebee in United is the worst figure of the line, as he's definitely not an improvement compared to the other versions of that mold. Randy
I think the Henkei line was much more consistent quality wise, I don't like how some of the United releases have only partially shiny paint.
Agreed. United Scourge has a similar thing going on but doesn't look quite so bad although I still would have preferred all the blue areas to be metallic. The other United release I felt could have been better was Wreck-Gar as all the light grey plastic parts would have looked much better in silver plastic.
Henkei, without a doubt. Most Henkei figures improved on the Classics/Universe 2.0 paint jobs and overall look (chrome aside), whereas United figures (with the notable exception of Jazz and Tracks) are in no way superior to Generations/RTS figures - just different (and randomly shiny). United is one huge missed opportunity.
I do like the accuracy of henkei though. I like the way astrotrain looks like astrotrain. However, I stand by united's beautiful paint apps.
I voted Henkei because the Chrome pieces just looked great in my eyes. That said, I love United too so either way; it's a win in my book
is there a thread for pics comparing generations and united, i'm trying to figure out if i should order a gen. wheeljack or united? I know there was a thread awhile back comparing henkei vs. classics.
I haven't been collecting long enough to own figures from both lines, but from the pictures I've seen, Henkei looks a LOT better than the United figures do. I'm actually considering getting a couple Henkei Seekers and maybe a Skyfire...
United. I like em both very much but, if I had to choose a favorite.. it would be united. Love the metallic paint. Wreck-gar and blurr are my favs ^^
i chose between opening henkei or united megatron. i opened united megatron because it looked better and because i bought henkei megatron a long time ago i wanted to keep it in the box.
