I love the Adventure releases of the RID molds, and in most cases have opted for them over the Hasbro versions to get the more thorough paint apps. However, one thing I strongly dislike about them is those multicolored scan-stickers. Having that hint of red, green, and blue (on figures that don't have those colors elsewhere) often looks really clashy and jarring to me. I much prefer the monochrome (all red or all purple) Hasbro versions of those stickers.

Of course what I'd really like is for them not to have been slapped on at all (I'm always glad when they can just be removed without leaving a big bare circular indent). But barring that, I wish Reprolabels would release a set of alternate, nicer-looking faction symbols that had the circular backing to them. Maybe some over blue, some over black, etc. Just something nicer we could use to replace the fruit stickers. I know some are included in individual RID sets, but I'd love just a sheet of them like they do with other faction symbols.

 

Bisk does look really nice, though I'll probably go with Hasbro.

I still hope for Thermidor that said.

 

Still waiting for Bisk to be released in the UK  

 

This will be my MTME Ratchet, but this mold still makes me mildly sad. Nicely articulated and everything, but...

...with a little more effort those boxed hands could be avoided.

That Bisk and ratchet look great! (Except for ratchet's vehicle mode)
Can't wait to get them
It was hard to tell the differences between Hasbro and takara Bisk based on early pics
But the In Hand pics have made it clear.

*hasbro ver: blue pupils with orange eyeballs. Takara ver: blue eyeballs
*hasbro ver: Unpainted orange eye stalks. Takara ver: silver painted eyestalks
*hasbro ver: unpainted orange belly. Takara ver: belly is painted the darker maroon-ish colour
*hasbro ver: unpainted black pelvis. Takara ver: blue tech line details painted on pelvis.
*hasbro ver: unpainted section on the inside side of claws. Takara ver: same section is painted black with blue line details.
Beyond that I imagine the shades of the paint and plastic used will likely differ slightly

At this point I can't help but wonder what is next for the adventure line.
What will TAV63 be? What about beyond there? Is this the end? Will they start releasing combiner force right away? Will they have more of their own stuff? Scavengers? repaints? Another transformers GO! like series?

Awesome!

I wish BBTS would hurry up and get theirs in.
