    I really thought as the first version to have a screen accurate head, he'd be a no brainer. I think he may actually be less screen accurate than the existing deluxe. Probably still want him, but I'm way less sure than I expected to be.

    Have you seen the original Deluxe recently?

    This new figure isn't perfect, but it's a lot closer than what we got in 2011.

    The new version is defintely nicer over all- the missle tree on the original was a mess and the toy was cruddy in general. But the chestis definietly closer on the original and the HA.

    True, but my HA after custom paint is beautiful. The only issue I have is that damn head.

    Very true, although I was never a fan of the forearms, crotch, and scale of the figure (and the head obviously) it was the only really good roadbuster we had for a while.

    The chest is disappointing, but I’m still 100% hyped for him. And I think with some added silver and white custom paintwork and decals on this guy, I’ll be able to completely overlook his flaws.

    These look gorgeous, but I’m not sure if I should get these or wait for official SS versions, since they’ll be much cheaper

    My opinion on these is whether or not these will be this silver color or painted up like the real deal,I am not having these if they are all silver.The other thing is if these are the standard Legends,Deluxe,or Human Alliance size,if they are Legends then forget it,I like my figures with some size and complexity not some 3 step transformation and your done.

    But seeing as these are Dream Factory I automatically know these are Legends,oh well everybody can't get everything they want.

    Depends how much you want the characters and want to deal with the large deluxe (small MPM) size. If studio series runs long enough, they'll get to these guys (probably). But we don't know how far they'll go. Plus the BB movie just introduced a bunch more stuff they could priorities for making SS toys.

    Just from thinking about NASCAR as a license, I'm not sure we'll ever get SS Wreckers - or if we did, they'd be HEAVILY stripped down/modified in deco, just because of sponsorship changes and whatnot in NASCAR over the last decade. Lowe's just ended its sponsorship of the 48, Target pulled out a year or two ago, and Sprint hasn't been the topline sponsor for a while now.

    So you might get the trio, in their weaponized forms, with literally JUST the door/roof numbers.

    Which I wouldn't be opposed to, mind you, better than nothing, but... that's a lot of hoops to jump through.

    I'm already getting Leadfoot. I didn't realize that they're bigger than the original deluxes. Any bot mode comparisons? Looks like I'll be getting all three.

    I've got Topspin and Leadfoot, and I'd say they are RotF Deluxe size. Bigger then SS for sure, but not MPM scale.

    Just got the Leadfoot in today. Quality figure and nice paint apps. No instructions and the scanning code took me to a page that the video wouldn't load on. Had to figure it out myself and wasn't too problematic. Can't wait for the other two to show up.

    if TF dream factory wants to make movie accurate, this is the correct one
    look at topspin prototype with number 48 on rooftop, should have been better

    this (Hasbro w reprolabels) looks better:
