This is obviously my opinion, but since I'm also a semi-scale freak who tries to buy only one version per character, I prefer the Deluxes. It all really comes down to whether you are willing to give up size for the potentially better/more fun mold. This is kind of how I view the Pros and Cons of each:
HA Line:
+ More impressive molds
+ More features
+ They still look decent next to the Leader class characters
- More expensive
- Look very out of place if you put your whole movie collection on the same shelf. It bothers me when Ironhide is dwarfed by them.
Deluxes:
+ More in scale overall
+ Cheaper
+ This is a huge matter of opinion, but being that they are more in scale I think they are more fun to fool around with. I like setting up action scenes on my shelves and what not.
- Less gimmicks and cool features
- For BB and Skids in particular, the HA figures are closer to the CGI models.
- Not really a main concern for the time being, but since all of the characters that are in both HA and Deluxe line are still alive, they may get better molds in TF3. There is a much better chance that a character would get an improved deluxe mold over a new HA mold.
As I said earlier, the main dilemma is whether you want the better mold over scale, or vice versa. For me personally, the $60 I saved on top of the scale issue was enough for me to go with the Deluxes. However, most people would disagree with me.
As for the bike sisters, I can only speak for Chromia and HA Arcee. HA Arcee is pretty bad (not that you would buy the set for her anyway). Neither is in scale, but I'm going with the deluxes and just overlooking the scale factor for this one. Besides, if the line was truly in scale 90% of the Decepticons would be Leader Class and above. http://backloggery.com/vizer |
