    I ordered the EX toy version. I have Delta Magnus and have him in my toy collection, but Dreamwave has Delta as a separate character and part of the “House of Magnus” as a clone of Ultra Magnus made by Shockwave. That’s enough for me. :D 

    Besides, the whole core bot/armor gimmick is based on the toy so it’s only logical to get the toy version.

    This will be my third Magnus :oops:

    Yeah, I cracked and ordered the toy version. I grew up with that toy and the nostalgia has me in a chokehold every time I see those damn sticker tampos…

    It’s amazing how much nostalgia those toy versions tap into, I’d say it’s at least up there with the normal toon versions for me.

    I buy MS for the toon style, but these NA EX figures are tapping into some primordial part of my brain and try as I might I just couldn’t hold out forever. Oh well…looking forward to getting my purchases :D

    Yup, me too. MS for toon, NA for toy. My toon collection is like 80% MS.

    Go with the EX version, the toon version you can always pick up at a later date if you really want it.
    The EX won't get any additional runs.

    Can anyone tell me if the ultra Magnus face / eyes are accessible for repaint?

    The NA Grimlock isn’t, and thus hard for me to repaint, and wondering on this guy.

    I don’t like most of NA clear figures, if not all, but... this clear UM is different... it’s damn good that’s what it is, at least in combined robot mode. Not super crazy about car mode, It’s good, but the combined mode is just sublime.

    If you’re wondering if the face can be separated from the helmet, then yes. See how they handled the Delta Magnus/SG Ultra Magnus for an example.

    Why couldn't they utilize the new Prime mold with the double jointed elbows?

    Because the arms have to bend at a specific way. If the new elbows tries to copy the way the old elbows bend for armor mode, the bottom of the forearms would be visible instead of the sides, which doesn't look as good.

    Mr. Sweet Daddy actually produces those on his own. The only time they were provided with the figure was G2 Ramjet (AFAIK)

    So, does the re-isssue Octavian no longer have the chest scraping issue?

    I finally transformed Shining Magnus last night - he's so cool! Here he is next to another super cool glowbot, Lucky Draw Optimus Prime :)

    the new toy chest looks good. shoulda waited for a toy deco and should have known they'd do one. oh well. the toon one and the delta are enough for me on this mold. i'd trade the toy deco for the EX in a heartbeat though but doubt anyone would want to do that. haha

    I would trade you the EX for your Delta if you want... ;) .



    Thanks for sharing his pics here. Honestly, i had prefered the toon face / eyes over the EX, but seing these latest pics.. i now prefer the "youth" looking face of EX, though i feel i would still want to repaint his eyes red or metallic blue, cause yellow on white is not very visible at all, even if toy accurate.

    Woohoo! My first ever Ultra Magnus transformation without the use of a video or instructions! I used a video for shining magnus on the left last night, and did the hate plague lucky draw on my own today! Probably not a big deal at all to most here, but I'm proud of myself :)  20221130_180800.jpg
