    I wonder if TT will make this into an exclusive set later on? Star Saber's popular enough to get into the MP line, so the Japanese fans would eat this set up.

    Still makes a great version of Victory Holi and you have a zone Holi as well. Give me EVERY SINGLE MICROMASTER THAT APPERARED IN VICTORY OR ZONE first before they redo the very fine already existing toy of stakeout/holi.. I did throw on some toyhax labels also to really make it look more victory too

    THE PLOT THICKENS.

    What accessories based upon the Robotmaster toys? TFWiki isn’t showing any distinct weapons...

    EDIT: Oh wait, Robotmasters Victory Leo got a yellow gun that no other Victory Leo toy has gotten. Sorry!

    They each had their own SMG-esque sidearm. On the flipside, Star Saber didn't have his traditional rifle at all.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sure, I suppose. But it'd be nice for higher-quality versions of them through Haslab, in my opinion.

    Who thinks that Hasbro will do a FFF to show off the color scheme this week? It'll mark 2 weeks since the announcement/ preorders going live.

    They need to keep chrome away from this, I'd cancel my backing in a heartbeat. Chrome has ruined so many figures by peeling off over time

    I don’t know about this week but I doubt they’d show coloured Victory Saber in the second half of the campaign. So I’m guessing before we reach the halfway point (time wise)

    Same. Not a fan of chrome or vac metal. I've seen both flake and crack and ruin some of what would otherwise be amazing figures. I don't think we have anything to worry about though. Can't remember the last time Hasbro actually used either on a modern figure.

    I think a nice metallic gold paint will do the job well with better longevity

    I think Deszaras would make for a great Commander Class, actually.

    I think he needs to be commander class considering how big victory saber is.

    Nope, happened all throughout the Unicron thread as well (yes, all 18-odd months of it). So much so that I still noticed it whilst being unsubscribed and only popping in every month or so to see if anything interesting had cropped up between funding and delivery.

    I hoped, but didn't really expect, that this thread might go differently, but it is shaping up in exactly the same way after only a week. I recommend people start making good use of the ignore option, and don't give in to the temptation to peek. Trolls piss off when they are starved of attention.

    I was on the fence a little about putting down $180, but now I can\'t live without it after seeing these new images.

    I feel like the smart thing to do if you're on the fence about this figure is to just buy it... And then if you decide somewhere along the line that you actually don't want it, just resell it. Guarantee it'll be easy to sell it for more than you paid for it
