There is not a doubt in my mind that these guys would fly off the shelves if they were done right, heck, even if they were just okay toys, fans would buy them, and kids would too. It's been quite some time since we had Dinobots on the shelves!
I'll forgive the invasion of the Bumblebee army and the annoying pest called Miko if they make all the Dinobots.
Hopes the Dinobots count for 5 of the releases under the Generations banner! I love all of these guys presentations for this game. I have to say that Snarl looks the best IMO.
well they say foc toy line is supposed to be big and there supposed to pushing the line so there is a good chance of all 5 dinos
It does actually. Provides a very vibrant contrast to the original design. The color placement has (thanksfully) been very well done on the Dinos. 2012's most anticipated figures.
Something tells me you've seen Animated first. Not that I mean to complain. If you've researched before or read some comments, in G1, Slag was the Triceratops while Snarl's the Stegosaurus. In Animated, they changed the former's name to Snarl because 'Slag' was a UK profanity word (not to mention that it was a Cybertronian profanity word as well). Hope the details help. BTW, quite the kickass design!
If the Dinos get toys I hope they are premium ones in Japan and not kiddy Micron arms like tat with stickers. And perhaps then Takara can give us an excuse to call them by their proper names. I really don't see what's wrong with Autobot Slag or Dinobot Slag - when I made jokes about the name - It was only jokes - anyone sensible realises it means the remains of something burnt and not prostitutes or females of loose virtue.
These look awesome!!!! I hope they get toys, I will get them all!!! One set for me and one for my son, they look amazing!!!!!
Demand is an understatement. If there's one thing I can't thank High Moon Studios for is bringing the Dinobots back to life, and showing just how big of an impact they have on the fans. Even if you don't like the original characters, or even the personalities, you cannot deny how amazing these designs are. What I love most is just how they actually kept the team together. Hasbro seems to have forgotten Snarl and Sludge over the years, probably because they're not the "popular trio", but to see them back, and also get such cool designs, it's a joy to all fans, and especially Dinobot fans. Not to even mention the fact that each Dinobot seems to have gotten special love and care, no Dinobot feels like the designers went, "meh, he's not very popular, let's put more time on these guys". Each one is tailored to look G1-ish, and in a new style altogether. Thank you High Moon Studios, and Hasbro, give us some Dinobot love at the Botcon reveals.
Don't just hope they make toys, pray they do them justice. Bruticus is looking like the ugly step cousin right now. But when we first got word of him being made it was like.... Daniel Bryan says Yes for 10 minutes - YouTube BUT THEN.... ONCE WE SAW IT... The Office- Michael Scott No God No - YouTube
Wow he is better than I thought. Hasbro better not screw them over and give Grimlock more screen time.
Looks great, but as with the majority of all WFC/FOC figures either released or that we've seen, I fear the designs won't translate terribly well to toy form. Obviously I hope to be proven wrong.
