    Thanks man! I bought a couple of figures but this is the guy that i tore the box open and messed with at the moment it arrived! So many amazing molded details to detail. I cannot wait for dropkick! So the next question is, will someone repaint him as Onslaught?

    Oh yeah for sure. They're riding the G1 nostalgia train hardcore and leaving the actually interesting stuff in the dust

    Siege has some pretty solid figures, I wish SS had even half of that. A ton of figures have a bit of 'almost there' like Ratchet's roof rack or Ironhide's bumper. Siege wouldn't have those issues

    For a bit there I had to check the title of this thread to make sure I was in the right thread.

    Any way, here are some movieverse figures I appreciate:

    Nostalgia is a cup one can drink from for a long, long time.

    Plus, Siege is getting all sorts of exclusives, with Ratchet and the Selects figures, plus those two box sets, PLUS the “fan vote” set. And yet SS hasn’t even had wave 7 in stores yet. *sigh* I’m not trying to knock on Siege, or be a downer, it just feels like Transformers will end up going the way of some other 80’s properties: unable to adapt because it’s the too concerned with appealing to its aging original fans.

    To be fair we did get most of the cool SS stuff in the first few months of the year, while Siege was barely getting started with it most interesting stuff.

    Yeah, it definetly is. I loved things like Beast Wars and the Movies for doing such different things from G1, it kept the brand fresh unlike GI Joe or Thundercats. Now it's just like them and pandering to G1. Basically taking 10 steps backwards




    But anyway toys. Wave 7 should be in my Wal-Mart soon! I've been told the 12th

    I didn't really care for him when I first got him, but he's REALLY grown on me. His transformation is very fiddly at first, but it gets a lot easier as time goes on. He's looks great in both modes and he's pretty fun to mess around with. Other than that, the only issue is his lack of leg articulation. I'd say he's a pretty good figure overall :)

    Sweetness! My stores are pretty empty after putting stuff on sale, so hopefully they will stock up soon!
