    This looks spectacular! :drool:  Sign me up for three!

    Green Creation Matrix! Optional stickers! Glittery particle cannon (it can't be a particle cannon without glittery particles!)
    Ermigherd!
    I expected so much less from Generations Selects. I'm totally impressed.

    Glittery cannon is pog af, will probably end up using about half of the stickers shown, and might try to paint his horns to match the rest of his helmet, and possibly his forearms as well.

    Wow, sure am glad reusing molds allows them to do things such as being more liberal with paint and plastic colors instead of doing cheap things like giving you a label sheet.

    Oh, wait.

    No thanks.
    Prefer the purple.
    Stickers.
    Barf.
    And many will get stuck using at least 1.
    The decepticon chest symbol is a sticker too.

    Hmmm. Not quite what I was picturing in my head, but I don't HATE it?

    It's still nice to se him in his toy colors even though I was hoping he was more Marvel-like.

    I like it.
    I like the figure, and the stickers which appear similar to the original. Sure, tampos would have been better, but not a deterrent.

    The glittery cannon is a really nice touch. I dunno, I'm on the fence about this. I do love the toy colors, and I could always leave most of the stickers off, but some of them just add detail that honestly feels necessary to me. Like the red upper chest and grey crown.

    I'll give Hasbro the benefit of the doubt and say this isn't a sign of the return of stickers to mainline TFs, this does feel more like it's a botched homage to the G1 toy. Even if this is a testing ground to bring them back I'm sure they'll get slammed by complaints on social media about it.

    Meh. Price is too high, too.

    Stickers r fine; u just need a set of tweezers when applying. Its a lot harder if u think u can do it by hand (u can't).

    Maybe this appeals to the specific sect of G1 collectors who actually owned G1 Galvy?

    I can understand not being a fan of stickers but this is a Generations Selects repaint. How often are new and unique apps added to a repaint?

    This figure is exactly as advertised: he’s a modern day mold but just as ugly as G1 toy Galvatron.

    As some people here seem to not be able to read the description, I will give the CliffsNotes.
    This says that all of the Foil Stickers on this toy are all separate. It appears to also come with a Rubsign.
    So the stickers are applied by customer rather than applied at factory. With stickers, it resembles his G1 Toy. Without them, it more resembles Marvel Galvatron.
    [​IMG] Here is his G1 Toy.

    Here he is (notice the Decepticon Symbol on his lower leg).
    So, it's pretty dang accurate. And it comes with added nostalgia factor with User-applied Stickers.
    And here is the boxart
    [​IMG]
    So, they are using the black Revenge Ships as a reference to his G1 Toy Rifle. Interesting.

    Was not expecting the Unlimited Sticker Works for Toy Galvatron, I'm glad I just got the Kingdom version.

    Honestly out of all things about this, the thing I’m most hyped for is the green matrix, something about it being here just makes me so happy for some reason
