    Because the cost of including a brand new Deluxe Headmaster mold would require either a *much* bigger stretch goal or a much higher asking price.

    Same. Especially since I know some people hate it. Gonna put it in base mode on the stand like a big stupid flying gun platform and just shove Leo in storage out of spite.

    While not a deluxe class it is amusing they added two micro master/minicons after all that arguing.

    Did Star Saber have a base mode in the anime?

    She is getting one. Walgreens exclusive next year.

    Needs to be big enough to fit over Saber's head.

    I mean if you're okay painting the shield into Minerva, then that's the kind of Minerva this HasLab campaign can feasibly have

    I’m ready for this guy to end lol, it’s time, we need a big push, we gotta try to get to tier 3 and I really really really hope we will because that shield is better than the mp imo, because it kinda helps make the “base mode” more viable,

    At least all this new support will get us closer to the cannon. We probably won't get the shield with needing like 8K in the span of 9 days, but fair enough. It's a thing, and besides. Someone's probably just gonna make Upgrade kits for the shield if we don't get it, and it's not like the Micromasters really matter.

    I'm already a backer because it's Star Saber, but these photos are making me all the more justified in my decision. Having those photos of Saber next to Victory Leo and then Victory Leo next to Star Saber really shows how big this guy is going to be. I'd estimate the fully combined Victory Saber could stand head to head with any CW/UW Combiner give or take a few millimeter, and he might as well since he costs about the same as an import combiner gift set. This guy is gonna be a set piece no matter what mode you put him in. Yes, even the base mode give or take some add-ons to make it look more base mode like.

    Galactus wasn't even funded 5 days before the end of the campaign. It ended 3x over goal and about 10k over the last stretch goal.

    We're fine.

    If we do get to the $20,000 mark I really hope Hasbro will at some point make molds for Boater and Pipo to go along with Holi and Fire.

    Man Hasbro was really sand bagging it starting off with those unpainted grey protoypes! Good idea as it gave the painted reveal more impact.

    And as for the base mode, it's called the Van Damme!

    To be honest, the fully painted pic with the stand is what sold me. It's so much more impressive with that stand. I really hope it at least hits 17K.

    Man this looks so good I absolutely can't not wait to get this in my hands. My actual complaint and only complaint I have is how many backers they need to unlock these tiers.

    I know this batch of new photos are of a hand painted prototype but man this looks good. Doesn’t even make me feel bad about skipping the MP.

    Is the final product supposed to be fully painted? I don’t know where this fits in my collection but I think I’ll be bummed later if I don’t grab one.
