    Just a correction without disturbing anyone :oops: , but this is Lazorbeak (with "z" and "o").

    For Hydra Takara I use a little silver. Here with their respective bosses.

    Nope, when it comes to BW I have a lot of knowledge.:cool: 

    Except for the comics, I still don't know much about that, one day I have to take the time to read them. :(

    Lazorbeak was the only version of that mold I had as a kid and loved him, so I'd buy the hell out of a modern repaint of him.

    How is Rhinox any further off than the other Kingdom BWs?

    Sounds like he's going to have his toy weapon.

    this appears to be taking the middle ground between toy accuracy and show accuracy where the othere were show models with realistic beast modes its recognisable as rhinox but its like comparing original classics prime to earthrise prime both based of the same show model but going in different directions in execution

    An extreme question warrants an extreme response.

    No, people can answer that question.

    Also, from a metaphor standpoint...the moon shines pretty bright because it reflects light from the sun.

    Functionally they're not identical, but both shine bright in their respective skies.

    Nobody looks at the moon and goes "Man fuck that stupid sun rip off."

    Right?

    Like, all of this exaggeration over Rhinox would mean something of we hadn't seen the exact same reaction for everything from maw color to Prime's fists to Galvatron's shoulders.

    Everything has to he either perfect or the worst ever. This forum has almost collectively lost the ability to judge the pros and cons. And HasTak shifting towards more show accurate figures has created an uncanny valley where people pick the smallest shit to go crazy over.

    Kingdom Rhinox is significantly less accurate to the cartoon than other Kingdom figures, as well as the T30 figures.

    This strongly resembles the characters from the cartoon:

    This resembles a guy wearing earmuffs, a giant chin strap, and vaguely jaw-inspired chest armor (who also has four weird toes for some reason):

    I never said Kingdom Rhinox is the worst ever. But it is definitely lacking in the accuracy department. If accuracy isn't something you care about, that's great, but call a spade a spade.

    They both look like Rhinox and while the Kingdom figure gets some things wrong, so does the T30 one. Neither is really more accurate than the other. Kingdom has an inaccurate head, T30 has an inaccurate chest, both have an innacurate waist etc etc

    You're welcome to think that, but I disagree. The fact that they both have inaccuracies does not make them equally innaccurate.

    Is either show accurate? No, so neither are accurate. Their level on inaccuracy is honestly irrelevant. In all honesty none of the Kingdom BW figures are "show accurate" so arguing about show accuracy in a line that is not dedicated to show accuracy is an exercise in banging your head against a wall.

    That scene always bugged me because that statement in and of itself is an absolute, thus either proving the hypocrisy of the Jedi or making Obi-Wan a Sith by his own logic :lol

    Rhinox comes close enough for me when it comes to "Toon Accuracy" sure it could be better, but I think the figure looks fine.
