    The new version definitely feels like the more refined color scheme. It’s better balanced and feels more like something you could see on the battlefield.

    But I’ll admit to finding all of the purple and sharp contrasts of the original release perhaps more appealing.

    Yeah, that's how I feel too. I went ahead and pre-ordered the alternative, but I'm debating whether to keep my original release or not. It's such a great mold that I wouldn't mind having both, but the practical part of me tells me I should only keep one, haha.

    I kinda prefer the lighter thighs and, even more so, the gold on the belt buckle and head crest of 1st Edition Eris, but I think everything else is a big improvement.

    So, I'm hype for when she falls into my lap in September (assuming no delays :D ).

    I am going to preorder the mass release version, just so that I can have a copy of the mould.
    Hmm, I haven't looked at it that way before. The first release does feel more "girly", maybe too "soft" of a color palette. More suited for a female autobot than a battle hardened decepticon warrior.

    I’m so happy her mass release is available — I won’t be double-dipping, but she’s so tempting!! Hope to see others’ pics of the new Tarn. BF6903AF-58EC-4E81-AF24-D2798D7C2A10.jpeg

    If anyone is on the fence about letting a first release Eris go, I'm looking. Have a Fans Hobby Arson to trade towards it as well or just cash.

    so, what's the verdict on this as a standalone piece? Worth the price of admission?

    I think it's worth it. The outward calf joint is annoying but everything else is very solid.

    My only other complaint is that it can be hard to balance her in a pose because of her relatively small feet. That's an aesthetic choice for sure and I wouldn't change it so don't get me wrong. She can still hold tons of poses though.

    128pgs.....great pics and i feel i need this, but the one pic i didn't see (came close) was Eris with Kultur and Tarnation, plenty of Eris, Kultur and Dubhe but not Dubhe in his Tarnation ver. which is a missed picture, heck i'm shocked that when people were doing all those "family" pics they didn't do Eris, Kultur, Dubhe, and Tarnation :eek:  can anyone post those pics, vanilla pose preferable, def will jump on her if she's still available after i get my sold house money as every combiner team needs a female backing them in my head cannon

    The transformation is kind of bizaree but I REALLY like this alt mode. I'm starting to think I really have a bias towards tank formers and may just start collecting them. To display together.

    Its gotta be the most unique transformation for a tank we’ve ever seen

    some of the 3P MP stuff has some super complicated transformations but this is actually quite elegant

    The way the legs twist to form the turret was pretty sweet
