    If there's one reason(I don't really care about the scale or thematic consistency) I'm glad Blast Off wasn't a retool of the helicopter mold it's that he would have been backwards.
    His cockpit is supposed to end up on his hands; not his feet.

    -
    The guy from the Entertainment Earth podcast apparently wasn't hanging out in the right places to find out about Black Series.
    There's a leaked computer listing that has a bunch of cool stuff, to me, including an Episode 5 C3PO.
    They also showed a Rebels-styled Ahsoka at Star Wars Celebration,
    and there's a currently a poll on Starwars.com for a fan choice Black Series figure(You may know about his by now?). Darth Revan is currently winning.
    They're probably going to announce a bunch of more stuff at SDCC.

    My IG-88 turned out fine. He has more articulation than I expected, but the hips are kind of a bummer.
    Boushh Leia is best Leia. I don't need anymore after this. I hope they focus on other female characters before going back to her.

    Are those TT upgrade hands on the Hasbro version of MP-10?

    I'm still liking leader Megs. I plopped The G1 version on an MP shelf to sink or swim and decided to pick up the DX-9 upgrade a couple days ago.

    The MK figures look good for $20. Hope they can get some other lisences for that style.

    Mine is the japanese original MP-10 release. I've only seen the Hasbro one once, ever, in a dealer room.

    I guess they where standing out to me because I'm used to the stock hands. I sold my copy of the original run because I had a phase where I only wanted to collect Generations. I ended up with the Hasbro version by dumb luck when my local TRU found a hidden copy during spring inventory.

    I'm 100% with Vangelus when it comes to "I didn't know how much I wanted a late 90's CGI gorilla toy until I saw it", but I feel like we're in the minority.

    Bring on the cats and giant bird as well I say.

    Didn't Kaiyodo did a figure with a similar "fatality" effect with the Fist of the North Star Revoltech figures? I think one of them (probably a grunt) have his upper torso cut right in half, from top of the head to the stomach.

    Yep I believe it was a Zeed gang member, he was designed to look explodey, and I think either Shin or Rei came with extra parts for him to be mutilated in their own special & less-explodey ways.

    That picture looks vaguely like Nicko McBrain. Nose isn't big enough, though.

    I'm joining the minority! I agree! I will totally buy a new shelf. I want a MP Beast Wars collection if they are all in the style of the 90s CGI style. Screw G1 MP! Rant! Rave!

    OK, don't screw G1 MP, I actually really like the MPs I have. I plan to hang onto em. I super can't wait for Tracks and Ironhide.

    If they can pull off Beast Wars toys that mimic what we saw in the show, though, man, I'd be all over that. I didn't even grow up with Beast Wars, and I'd love the hell out of that. If we could get some glossy paint on top of it all, those things would be perfect. Caveat: I don't think anyone will ever get Waspinator perfect. The Generations version was close, and then it became inexplicably prone to breaking (that part didn't even look like it should be prone to breaking!). It would be wonderful to be proven wrong, but I don't have high hopes.

    I'd really be into having a new shelf of show-accurate Beast Wars cartoon-accurate MPs. Glorious 90s CGI in all its ...its... lack.... of.... being modern...... I guess....... I dunno and I don't care! If I can afford it, I'm willing to go all in. If I can afford it. I'd be cool if they keep the releases to a slow drizzle, too.

    I'll be the fourth to say I'd love masterpieces with 80/90's cgi alt modes.

    I'm loving the CGI look on MP Primal. It was the best choice. What would be even better is Beast Machines MPs! I can hear the G1 fanboys screaming in agony just at the thought of those glorious neon mass-shifting works of art :)
