I Love the new Starscream...I'll get him times 2 or maybe even 3. I used to dislike Cybertrionian shapes, but that Soundwave looks great. Might pick him up at some point too.
Soundwave, Prime, Starscream, Red Alert will all be mine! Alternity Megatron also has a high possibility
Let's see... Ironhide is nice and I'll probably pick him up. I like the new weapons and head... not too keen on the color, but the grey isn't bad. Wonder why they went with the grey instead of the black though? Starscream is a great update to the original and I'm glade they were able to improve him so much. I'll be picking him up. I like Leader Prime and he's much more accurate then the original figure, but I'm still not sure I'm going to pick him up. Maybe...
I wonder when these are going to start showing up on BBTS and other such outlets. We're within two months of the retail street date.
i have two of those tf badge thingy, it was given away when you bought an advance ticket for rotf in japan.
It's intentionally sculpted asymmetrically, since Ironhide's head appears to be damaged on that side damaged on the right side. His new guns are more or less movie accurate now.
The pic is showing the artwork/caseback of a Japanese rap group called 'm-flo'. Their greatest hits album "Asteroid People" came out recently... I'm guessing it's just an image used due to the tenuous link, and not part of a promotion.
As an aside, did anyone see the May issue of Dengeki Hobby yet? (I saw it in a local shop today, and it had nice, clear shots of Alternity Megatron, in both blue and silver...)
where are SS hands? Maybe is because of POV, but this Starscream doesn't show his hands in the rear of alt mode. mold fixed?, photoshoped?
BB prime and Starscream are must buys. I like the improvements to ironhdie but what the effing hell is with the stupid paint job?
The silver cosmos seems to be a free limited edition fig that comes free with a 3,000 dvd/Album/single by Japanese Dance/hip-hop group, "M-Flo". I'm pnly guessing here that the song/track/CD's name is "Asteroid People". There wasn't any info on their main site and neither at TakaraTomy's TF page. Here is M-Flo's site: - m-flo online BTW, they do some good tunes. Out of most Japanese "J-Pop", they are pretty international and have worked with other "international" Japanese acts like "The Teriyaki Boys" (they did Tokyo Drift's theme track), "Krystal K" (Japanese Lorean/Black hip-hop/R and B singer) and have also remixed western artist's tunes too. Worth a listen.
