    @TIKnTIN If you're looking for an MS Optimus, I have a first run I'd be willing to sell.

    so has there been any confirmation that the toon version is a new release, and it's separate to the 2nd batch re-release of the original MS-B18 without any changes??? as subtle as they changes are, i would prefer getting the original unchanged release, and not the tweaked toon version.

    Now that you bring it up, I don't think the rerun of the initial colors is still happening. Their post about it from early April appears to be gone, and their wording of the toon color announcement makes it sound like they're doing that version instead.

    ShowZ still has the rerun on their site, but not the toon version yet.

    i've been told by HZJ, whatever the release is, be it original or toon, is coming mid May supposedly.

    Got my ghostbusters Prime today. Love the colors. I gave him the yellow axe from the metallic edition because it matches with his eyes and it think it looks pretty good! Though I do wish he came with a slime green one instead. (And a pack to wear)

    After 6 variants (and the golden lagoon on its way!), I must say that I am a little disappointed with the accessories. All of the guns are identical and the matrixes vary only in the shade of blue energy core. The axes do differ but often not with the right colors imo. For my display, I ended up swapping them around.

    That being said, I am interested in a Sleep Mode edition if anyone is willing to part with theirs ;)

    I used a Playmobil Ghostbusters Proton Pack for my Ghost Prime. Will be adding some Hot Wheels scaled waterslide decals for him, also. (Just got them in today), Also the Trap he is holding came from Tom Servo's Shapeways shop: Trap Set by tomservo on Shapeways
    The pack is plugged onto the post that inserts into his waist for Alt. Mode, had to drill a slot in the pack to allow it to plug in and I drilled a small hole in the back of the gun and inserted a small copper tube for the hose to plug onto.
    The gun can also plug into the pack if you either widen the hole just a bit or shave down the ammo clip looking thing that sits in front of the grip peg.

    And if your interested, I still have a few Proton Packs and Playmobil Traps and PKE Meters, but the handles would need some modifying to fit Prime's hands.

    ^Word, 9th version of the figure, here I come.

    Just so I understand, hzj401 listing for this prime is actually the more toon accurate prime pictured below?

    Thanks and sorry if my post and/or question is redundant.

    i don't have confirmation on that, it is just my observation from the photos in HJZ listings.

    i asked HJZ if the re-issue had changed and he said he asked supplier and told me they said no. i asked him to notify me when he has stock in hand and listing is up. he did so yest and if you look at his listings, the product looks to be toon version.

    if you look at the photos, the arrows on the fore-arm are painted yellow, in the box and loose photos. and now i've noticed looking at his chest, the blue is lighter colour and does not match the blue on his lower legs, and the right arm in the loose picture does not have the silver grey stripe on the side. so i'm fairly confident in saying this has been changed to be more "toon" version.

    comparison photos posted a few pages back…

    I actually sent hzj a message not expecting him to get back to me so quickly. He confirmed it is the toon release per the below message.

    Just bought the latest version for $50, didn't realize it was toon colored - which is fine by me, I may actually prefer it. I'm just happy to find one for a decent price, missed out the first round and didn't feel like paying $75+.

    Wait wait wait. I've got it. I don't have NA Jazz at home with me but I turned MST Sideswipe sideways and I got him to fit perfectly in MST Optimus' trailer so I'm sure it can accommodate Jazz really.

    You ready? Ok, here it is.
