    I love that such cool characters get the extra budget that they need to stay cool as HasLab releases. I buy everything online these days, so it really doesn’t matter to me whether this is a pre-order or a crowdfund backing. Exactly the same outcome.

    The MMC D-ZefC is 10 inches tall at the head. He scales better with Haslab VS because he’s taller than the 9 inch Star Saber but shorter than the 12 inch Victory Saber, which is more or less just like the relative size difference in the cartoon. Haslab DS is too tall, scalewise.

    Agreed! Non-painted it looks phenomenal so I don’t think Victory fans, in general, will complain about the design. Of course, things could fall apart when we see a colored prototype but let’s hope that doesn’t happen lol.

    lol you’re making the fans out to be the problem with the terribly-run Rancor and Ghost Rider HasLabs??

    Yes! Going to back this too! Pricing seems decent unlike the Haslab GR.

    Hell no. Chrome doesn't belong on something like this outside of detailing or a weapon like a sword.

    Thank you so much Hasbro.

    The anime Megatrons have always felt hopelessly outgunned by the Primes because they're always so much smaller, but they finally got it right.

    I maintain the Rancor would have sold 12,000 units if it included a Danny Trejo black series figure, and maybe been dual-purpose tied in with Book of Boba Fett and RotJ 40th. As just the latter, it was a super lame offering.

    You'd still be putting down $213 USD for the figure how it is now even if it was retail.

    The only way you'd be paying less is if it was a worse figure, compromised to fit a retail price point-specific budget.

    Can someone give me an idea of how he'll scale with Tarn and Overlord?

    I mean the numbers are blowing up I’d say i
    I think this is more just saying if hasbro goes back and makes changes there will be complaints either way. Not that we’re making fun of dans

    So let me get this right. Instead of wanting the best possible version through crowd funding, you rather him considerably simplified and sold at the Commander class price point, just so he could be at general retail?

    Well, guess I have an excuse to finally get rid of my studio series devastator. Should be able to cover the cost of this by selling those figures.

    Well, given it was 13 total in the series vs. 17 total Autobots (Cybertrons) - I'd say... four? Yes, four more would be nice... two if you count the ones you mentioned.

    Deathsaurus seems like he's going to be about the same size as Victory Saber and God Ginrai, who are a good bit taller than Overlord and even more so than Tarn. It's not going to be perfect if you're trying to set up an IDW pairing but I think the figure is way too good to not overlook that.

    Thanks. I've got some time to think on it. Hopefully, we'll see a few more stretch goals and a full color rendition soon.
