    Oh yeah, I forgot about that. my fault. Sorry! And cool, didn't know amazon selled target exclusives! though doesnt surprise me I saw a lift ticket being selled on amazon, and that was supposed to be an EE exclusive. Would you mind passing me the DPCI code for red cog? And I also twirl my mustache after every TF purchase I make, helps me take my mind off of how much time I have to wait until I get the thing in hand.

    Yeah, thanks.

    Again, Elita seems shorter now which is a shame since I wanted her to be the same size as other Fembots.

    Nope.

    Hasbro will just have to redo them all with unique alt modes.

    Just to be clear, when I say “local” I mean that it’s a Chinese version of Amazon, and they most likely were indeed pinched from a factory somewhere so I don’t have a DPCI. I wasn’t standing out back behind the factory with a white suit and bowler hat on waiting with cash in hand to swap with the factory worker though. As with most of the stuff I buy, I prefer to remain in ignorant bliss as to exactly how those chicken nuggets made their way onto my plate.

    Just my opinion, but Elita blows the other fembots out of the water; she actually looks like she transforms into something. Definitely excited to see Minerva eventually...

    Yeah, the CW figures especially are noticeably taller than her. But she really is a great figure, a lot better than I was expecting from the photos.

    Oh, I mean compared to Siege Chromia. Is pretty obvious that post-WFC figures are much shorter than anything from Prime Wars but I think the overall quality and engineering compensates for that.

    Do you have more pics side to side with Siege Chromia by the way? Is just that perspective is sometimes wonky depending how you pose Elita.

    Yep ticks me off . They could have at least made these easily swappable by using screws but the
    Pins make it way too hard for me . Had they been screws like classics , it would be a fairly easy swap

    This dude can go up for preorder anytime now, I'm impatiently waiting to click the preorder button. I do love the Lamborghini mode.

    Speaking of Lamborghini, why the frag am I just now finding out Robots In Disguise 2001 Prowl has a freaking Countach alt mode? :eek:

    It's definitely very poor attention to detail that Red Alert got all that red while Clampdown got all that light gray. Everyone on this board knows it would make more sense reversed but apparently the powers that be at Hasbro didn't. Really stupid. This is where we really miss TakaraTomy being able to do their own thing.

    And RiD Prowl was not a Countach, he was a Diablo. Next generation Countach basically.

    Double check her legs pretty sure you missed a step, but she looks great there.

    It's not attention to detail, the legs and arms are made from the same piece.

    Yes, it's attention to detail. They have options from when they design and plan the mold all the way to when they design and plan the deco. They aren't "boxed in" to anything beyond what they want to box themselves into.
