These two guys are awesome. I welcome more repaints using this mold Hasbro!!

Once you all get/see Powerdive in person, you'll like him even more....I haven't stopped fiddling with mine since I got it.

Awesome photos! Since plowking approves of this mould I'll hopefully pick up either of them (preferably Powerdive...). Looks like a fun toy

Had I known this retool was in the works I'd have passed on Highbrow.

Still, I don't at all regret picking up Highbrow, and if I happen to see Powerdive I'll grab him. Shark deco + new head + best 5mm guns ever + P-38-esque alt + pal for Lugnut = totally worth buying the same mold again.

Oh man, Powerdive looks awesome. He sort of looks like an evil German pilot... even though he turns into a plane resembling a P-38 Lightning. Whatever. I'll gladly add him to my Decepticon Luftwaffe. Javol, mein fuhrer Megatron!

He also looks like he'd be best buddies with Lugnut.

I cant wait bro. I have a hard time believing anyone in our area will have a shot at powerdive with us 2 looking for him as much as we love this mold. Im grabbing a few for you, and few for me..I just hope we see enough in the stores.

OK...Highbrow..I one of my ALL TIME FAV Voyagers. I was looking for one for a LOOONG time and PK hooked me up in trade for one. I dont give a shit what anyone says about it from pics online..This is one of those figures you MUST have in your hand to truly appreciate. Im one of those guys, I have seen stuff on line, reviews and such, and said..."BLAH!! That is SHIT! GARBAGE!! NO HELLLL NAAAWWW!!" And then buy the crap and LOVE it. High Brow is one of the most underrated molds from all of TF'dom imho.

The plane mode, is SPECTACULAR. Everything locks together, TIGHT. Nothing flops around. Retractable landing gear that raise the nose up for props to clear the ground, Just SITTING on your shelf HighBrow is imposing. The Prop spin gimmick is GREAT. If I were 7-8 again, I would be flying this guy ALL over the house and outside. Rockets on the wings-CHECK! The way the gatling guns mount on the wings or each side of the main fuselage is killer, and then they look like he has Hip Holsters in bot mode.

I originally did NOT like the arms from online pics, and was really bummed that I thought he got neutered like incenerator..but that is simply not the case. This guys arms work GREAT. There is a hell of alot of posability here, and just because he has his props on his arms, DONT LET THAT SCARE YOU from trying to find one of these. He has full range of motion, and pulls of incredible poses.

As stated in the OP, the legs are BRILLIANT design. Full posability, and they just look fanstastic.

A perfect time to highlight this figure as I am right in the middle of doing a "weathered and realistic" paint job on one of these. Im doing this one for my buddy, as he was so kind to allow me to try. I only have one highbrow, and I hardly ever paint anything I have one of.

My ONLY problem with Highbrow...Is I dont have ENOUGH of them. I want to paint one a WWII Navy/Hellcat blue on the top.

Powerdive looks great. I cant wait to be hunting for that one.

As far as you POINT, I guess I can SEE that you really LIKE this mold. I, however, think it looks like a failed remake of Big Duo.

I LOVE how your stress your words that your REALLY MEAN with caps

I have a habit of that. We had a national sales manager that required us to CAPS all IMPORTANT points when we had to turn in quarterly sales reports. If we had a GREAT MONTH, he needed the caps to stop him to ACTAULLY READ the parts that were INTERESTING enought to take his SO precious time.

Its a really hard habit to break. No...SERIOUSLY it a HARD habit to break.

That mold is something special. It doesn't necessarily take well to being photographed but in hand it looks and feels so right. If I get some spare pennies I will get Powerdive to join Highbrow on my desk.

I never found highbrow when he was released (only his wave mate boo berry fallen), but I plan on finding and getting this figure.

The color scheme seems better this time around as well.
