    you might also consider the shockwaves lab add ON's for overlord.

    one is an add on cannon and grenade launcher for the tank along with a add on rifle.

    the other kit gives you the shoulder parts along with the chest parts.

    picture taken is Hasbro overlord with both kits added onto him.

    Takara version has two headmasters and the engine blocks glued in his chest.
    Hasbro version has one headmaster and two cavities in the chest where you can put titan masters or prime masters, but you have to be careful because they can be stuck.

    Yes, but I guess that won’t be available for Takara LG60, will it?

    Sizes are the same. Details are some paint differences and the helmet is retooled to be more anime accurate as opposed to toy accurate as on the Hasbro version.

    Also, Hasbro's comes with one Titanmaster who is neither Mega nor Giga whereas Takara's comes with Mega and Giga.

    FYI, you can combine the Hasbro and Takara versions together to form a Super Overlord, as in the pack-in manga that comes with Takara's. That gets him as large as God Ginrai, even if it's not cartoon canon accurate.

    I saw that and was wondering what that combined mode was. Pretty useless if you ask me but that is probably because I can’t afford both.

    yes they can, they attach to the outer edge of the plates that swing open
    so yes it can be used on the Takara version.

    I have found the two upgrade kits on the web but I don’t think I want them. I don’t find they add something that much. It makes the figure heavier to watch IMO.

    I really doubt it. For God Ginrai it made sense to do a giftset.

    It's looking like Global Brand Unification seems to have killed off the Legends line. RIP Unite Warriors too.

    Can someone answer this for me?

    This Double Overlord combined gimick, firstly is it just a fan mode that LG went with or is it an actual thing?
    Has the LG version had a mould change to allow this or do the Hasbro versions do this?
    Would a Hasbro Overlord & Skyshadow be able to combine?
    Basically I'm not buying another Overlord but might Pick up a Skyshadow cheap if it's worth it.

    That is also something I have been asking myself. I would say it’s supposed to be so as I think it appears in the little manga in the box

    There isn’t any special remolding on the LG Overlord for the combined mode. All the connections at the torso are all possible with the preexisting connections. The feet and leg/tank parts don’t lock together at all though. You just kind of balance the combined Overlord on them.

    Sky shadow can combine with Overlord just not not in the same ways as two Overlords due to the tooling differences between them. In particular how Overlord’s jet nose can plug into his chest.

    Hopefully I can figure this out before I get an answer but how exactly ARE you supposed to combine the Overlords on the back? From what I can tell from the legends comic the backpack Overlord is upside down and the arms are pointed forward but how are the two actually supposed to link?
    Also another question: did Takara intentionally swap the tailfins on the arms to NOT fold over? seems like an odd move.
    And finally...where does the stand in the first pic come from on this one?

    I'm hoping someone with the figure can help - I'm really having trouble finding this out.

    Do the Legends heads have painted faces? In some images they look like they're painted white, and in others look like unpainted plastic. I'm trying to decide which version to buy, and this could be a factor.

    They're unpainted plastic - just the eyes are painted red.
