Ok guys, I'm a BIG fan of Classics and Henki and I plan to get only the better looking one of the same character from either so I appreciate input from you guys.
For example, Classics Grimlock is the better one than Henki Grimlock or Henki Megs is better than Classics Megs. I'm curious to Optimus and Jetfire's comparisons! 
If there was a similar thread to me, my apologies! |

#4 | | I like a da cha-cha. Join Date: Jan 2006 Posts: 1,505 Location: Penacook, NH Collection Count: 150ish News Credits: 2 | Henkei Convoy > Classics Prime
Classics Jetfire > Henkei Skyfire
Classics Grimlock > Henkei Grimlock
Henkei Astrotrain > Classics Astrotrain
Henkei Powerglide > Classics Powerglide (...just from picture comparisons).
I'd go Classics for almost anything else, just because it's cheaper for me. It might not matter up in your neck of the woods.

If I weren't a Prime/Convoy collector I would've stuck w/ the Classics version.
My collection is a good mix so far of the 2 brands. Here's the breakdown:
Henkei:
Convoy
Skyfire
Megatron
Starscream
Astrotrain
Ramjet
Classics:
Optimus Prime
Bumblebee
Grimlock
Mirage
Hot Rod
Ultra Magnus
Skywarp
Thundercracker (Botcon)
Thrust (Botcon)
Dirge (Botcon)

The only Henkei I have is Astrotrain, the rest are Classics but if you're looking for the best ones to get from Henkei get:
Henkei Convoy
Henkei Megatron
Henkei Astrotrain
Henkei Thundercracker
The rest can be classics though some will be a bit hard to track down mind you, it took me since the summer of 07 and I just finished last week.
