    Don't be surprised, there are. Brawn (using..... FE Bulkheads mold) and a few others were mentioned in the article revealing Breakdown a few weeks ago.

    I have FE Bulkhead but seeing the random "this is awesome" or similar posts makes me kind of sad people will actually settle for this KO looking mess. It seriously looks like a cheap knock off you'd find at Dollar General or something. All the rage and bitching everyone got so tired of (the ones who got their FE's ftmp) was justified and here's the proof along with RID OP. Settlers gonna settle though. :crazy:

    I'm not sure what to think of this guy. I'll be picking him up because I'm not willing to spend 90+ bucks on the FE mold, but I'm not sure how I feel about it. Between the more accurate legs and shoulder pieces, he has all the makings to be better than the FE figure, but things like the general shape of the figure and the head ruin that. I'm baffled as to why they spent the money to develop a new mold that ultimately ended up being inferior than the first.

    Those are Hasbro Asia releases.

    Japan won't be getting them either.

    Yes, you can make him hold the powerizer weapon in his hand. I prefer to stow the powerizer weapon at his back on display.

    Wait, no curling iron arms? That really is a forearm swivel?

    And do the springs do anything?

    Looks decant but still the FIrst Editon's the clear winner. Good thing I was able to get my First Edition Bulkhead for a reasonable price before the whole FE cancelation in the USA in time.

    Hopefully he may do well with children.

    In a way, IMO, it looks like his arm blaster from the show... cept it has a wrecking ball and a green block on it.

    Or, you know, people who can't just drop 100+ bucks on a toy whenever they want.

    Otherwise, it seems adequate from what I can see. Issues, to be sure, but what toy is really "perfect"? None, that's what. This one's a buy-on-sight for me-- upon getting it, I'll have finally completed my Team Prime.

    There is limited forearm swivel. The "spring" on his forearms don't do anything, as far as I can see, it serves as a decorative purpose for the figure.

    Hasbro Asia is the division of Hasbro that deals with all of Asia that isn't Japan. Basically, those Generations exclusives are for the rest of Asia sans Japan. If Japan was getting those exclusives in their market, it would be done so via Takara Tomy, but as far as we know that isn't happening, much like how Hasbro USA isn't getting those exclusives as well.

    From a distribution standpoint, no it's not.

    Takara handles Japan by its lonesome.

    Hasbro Asia handles mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, etc.

    Takara products are routinely distributed to some of the Hasbro Asia territories (mainly in the port countries, Hong Kong and Singapore, IIRC), but never the other way around.

    yyyyyea kinda.....
    Well you guys are right, if you completely forget about the Fe, the prid seems a pretty good toy. However, people cant forget that fe bulk was fantastic. From what ive heard, its one of the best fe toys, if not the best. Which is why im really hoping for this PRID Bulkhead to do something that impresses me, because we're not gonna be able to get the fe for the foreseeable future

    Consider me educated and surprised then. I honestly thought they did distribute them there too since a buddy picked me up a Hasbro DOTM Soundwave while there. Imported then?

    I will say this. He's not as good as the FE, but he's decent. I'm happy with my Cyberverse Commander, though.
