    You're wasting a chance on an excellent figure. The articulation is 3rd party level. It's a hefty piece, too.

    I'll take my chances. It's not as if I'm replacing my Deluxe Seekers with Earthrise versions either. Was anyone truly displeased with the Deluxe mold to dismiss them in favour of an update?

    Uh, yeah. Plenty were. I even complained about them in the beginning and said the Deluxe had some superiority because of the landing great (lol wtf? Cringe.) but the Voyagers are arguably better. Solid, chunky/thick (in the right way), and correctly scaled. The original Deluxes are way too small.

    EDIT: Not to mention, better articulation.

    Yep. In all honesty, the CW toy is nowhere near the ER toy's level. It's not even a fair comparison.

    looks cool but pass. Idk just not that into the massive pieces. Mostly because I don't have the space.

    I picked this guy up yesterday. Um'd and Ah'd about getting him at the price, but in hand he really is magnificent. Tons of articulation and just feels really solid. If only all mainline figures could be as virtually Masterpiece as this!

    Anyway, of course he simply insisted on some time in front of the camera...

    Perfect for that, actually. My legends is almost all Season 1 characters (and one Sharkticon). This would open a door that my significant other would enjoy slamming repeatedly on me until all food must require the use of a straw. :stick:

    I picked him up last week and I honestly couldn't be happier with the purchase...

    The build quality is great, paint seems perfect, articulation makes him feel like a way more expensive figure and he has a shelf presence that none of the other characters in my collection has.

    Literally the only nit-pick with mine is that the ankle tilt on the left leg of the birdbot (Sky?) is a little loose.
