    Doesn't look like it yet. Their site search isn't returning anything even close.

    I just read that in the US the color lavender would be highly associated with homosexuality. Is that why so many people dislike this version of Galvatron? *scratches head*

    Purple in general is a gay colour so that probably isn't it. Not commonly anyway. Lavender is paler looking and has less menacing oomph than dark purple, is my guess.

    The strechiest of streches!

    Nope it's just like with Shockwave; color doesn't look right fit that character, Galvie was always a darker purple in my mind.

    A color being associated with another person's sexuality isn't really a factor that comes into my purchasing decisions.

    Like others said Galvatron on the show was always darker, and also a different hue as the Hasbro version. The value of color on this toy is too light, and is not accurate to the show.

    I was so eager to get this, the pics online were a little light, but at least the purple looked vibrant.

    It is just too light a purple. In lowlight it is almost the same value of the gray on his legs. In direct sunlight the purple looks a little better, but I'm not going to display in direct sunlight. It's way off, not sure what they were thinking?

    I'd say it's viewed as more of a feminine color, not necessarily homosexual. That said, I'm not sure too many people in the US would view it as overly weird to see, say, some sort of business executive in a lavender button-up work shirt. Blazer or pants might be weird though.

    For the most part I would agree with the others though, it just doesn't seem right for the character. Like, apparently, many others, I always viewed Galvatron as a relatively dark purple color.

    The thing is, Galvatron wasn't that dark a purple. Way way waaaaaaay less dark than Hasbro's.

    Both Hasbro's and Takara's are equally wrong in opposite directions. Galvatron's true color would be right in-between. The third party offerings have done a much better job getting his color right (not to mention the head/face, while we're on the subject).
