Cross posting for some appreciation!

Man I LOVE LOVE LOVE this figure omg. All it needs is paint and this is EASILY one of my fav Optimus figures ever.

 

Great shots here.

Really digging how much praise this figure is getting. Hoping to have mine shipped out soon.

 

I also grabbed Crosshairs, kind of considering the Leader OP, but I just don't like all of the inaccurate back junk. Passed up Evasion Prime, because it needs too many silver paint apps, and didn't get Evasion Bee, because of how weird he looks it robot mode. Not to mention they need to break up that yellow with a lot more black. I plan on grabbing Leader Grimlock when it hits the clearance aisles (or when people start feeling that buyers remorse in a few months), but right now I'm digging these Dinobots. They're all totally going on my Botcon 2014 shelf as "random new guy Knights."

I hope this thread doesn't get merged with Movieverse Appreciation thread, because I really dislike movie 1-3 figs.

On another side-note, I'm surprised I haven't seen pics of evasion Optimus riding leader Grimlock  
I wish they'd do the new style Optimus at a voyager scale. I'd totally pick that up.

 

Haven't opened mine .... Going to soon

Always love seein your pics!

 

Gonna have to repost my pics from the Galvatron thread since it's really the only thing that I can tolerate about Galvatron aside from having ankle articulation.

But, I like Hound. I haven't gotten Evasion OP because I'm waiting for the Takara version. Is there going to be a Takara Bulkhead, and will he have better paint? I'm tempted to pick up a really nice version of him, because he's probably the best in the line. All the dinobots could be tolerable if they weren't movie toys.

 

G1 Slag was my second TF ever so I know what you mean. Slug scratches that itch that having a Slag produces.

I haven't gone much into this line, I only have a One Step Drift (who is very obviously a kids toy, but my 2 year old girl likes him, and he keeps my hands occupied flicking him open and closed like a butterfly knife), Dinobot Slug (who is pretty cool actually) and a One Step Optimus, who is OK. If you fold his arms down in truck mode they're not as obvious as they are in package.

 

Thanks man, he really is an awesome figure youll love him!

Thanks bro, I just can't put him down you might feel the same once you open it up.

 

  He looks like he's partying it up.

 

More Prime Goodness.

 

I am so far digging all the AOE toys. A big plus for me after the craptastic DOTM toys.

 

Ha he almost looks like an AT-ST.

 

Leader grimlock is awesome in person!

 

That version of Leader Prime is nice.

-- love the pic of Grimlock behind Evasion Prime

 

So I picked up Crosshairs, but...putting him into vehicle mode, everything seems to click just fine into place except his arms. The arms don't seem to rotate around enough and if I try to push them to rotate then the back wheel well panel pops out and "lowers" below the clear peg by the back windows. No matter how I fiddle him I can't seem to get the thing rotated AND have the front peg tab into the forward section of the headlight piece. Am I doing something wrong? I can take pics if need be.  

 

planes need to fly faster! i need my plastic crack

Wish I could help... But don't have Crosshairs
