Me too. I'm looking forward to Transforming Kup with out having to decapitate him. I also don't mind the William Defoe face. It does thanks!
Purely for reference, Refraktor is actually a head taller. And even with the Allicon head so low, Refraktor's shoulders are a touch higher.
I still think Kup can take on my Reflector army, looks like he's got some good reach with those arms for a KO punch. Side note: who else would love to see a commander class Sludge? I know I would to go with that Grimlock.
I don't mean to come across as rude or anything, but what specifically are the issues you're talking about? If anything, I'm sometimes afraid I'm going to break mine because parts are so tight.
Further to my previous "I'm not sure I'll order Hot Rod as Rodimus Prime is coming"... I couldn't resist ordering Hot Rod,. Along with Jazz of course. I'm sticking to my guns in not ordering Grimlock though. So far. Think I might back down on not ordering Scourge though. He'll look so good next to Cyclonus... I'm so weak.
Tbh I don’t know the official word on the MPM but I was told by my precious sources that all the masterpieces figures were “made” (probably meant design) by TakaraTomy as they were originally meant to be exclusive to Japan only. Whether this means that Hasbro is now involved in the design of the MPMs is uncertain. Also uncertain is whether the MPM line was only meant for exclusively for Japan...which I don’t think so because one can see the “Hasbro” logo on the MPM... Anyone : feel free to contact me if ’m wrong as I’m no longer in the loop for quite awhile. I always get the impression that TT could release whatever they wanted (reissued Megatron, MP Megatron) as long as it was exclusive to Japan or Asia...maybe things have now changed? Yeah, things change very quickly. I recall getting “info” and was ridicule for it about the collecting community in my country. Example, the first G1 Predaking reissue and the Titan Class Tryticon but...we all know how that turned out.
For me it's an easy choice my TR Kup and Blurr are not the correct colors and being headmasters just cements the fact I want these new versions. Plus new Kup's alt mode looks amazing!
I missed out on both of those Legends toys, and am happy to have the opportunity to get SS86 now. Kup is, canonically, ugly. He's a grimacing, wrinkled, baggy-eyed old man. He's never had a face sculpt that really matches the character model very well. LG and SS86 are each acceptable. LG seems to have better colors, but SS86 has a much better vehicle mode. Even-steven.
Between WFC and wave 1 of SS86 the only characters left who are confirmed/rumored are Gnaw, Wreck-Gar, Coronation Starscream, and the other Dinobots (hopefully Snarl too you cannot not have all five Dinobots). Like seriously if we don't get all five Dinobots we're going to riot right? Honestly, I hope they extend the line and add more characters. I've only started collecting G1 characters, I was collecting the BW toy-line before (I'm a 90's kid and space and budget were also factors), but I've fallen in love with the WFC line. And I know they got toys in the last trilogy but I'd like for example a Brawn that is proportionate to WFC Cliffjumper and Bumblebee in size. Brawn should not be smaller then them. At the very least the completionist in me needs the other 84-85 characters and those introduced in the movie (like the Cassettes) etc.
