    It's readily apparent when people don't "handle" their toys and merely let them collect dust at the back of a shelf.

    I think a lot of it is the wow factor because of the size. I have Gabriel think I've transfomed him twice in3or 4 yeas. therest of thetimes he sits in a corner, unless I move him when I mop the floor.

    The JNR logo is present on the physical prototype but absent from the CG images.

    Just finished repairing Shouki now that I had time to do so! Just a tiny piece that fits into his leg:

    I agree to an extent. Thing is, I adore diaclone style and toon style so whatever way they go I'm happy. I doubt we'll get many more headmaster characters in MP so Raiden can exist in a vacuum and I'm fine, but boy imagine a full toon raiden from TT. MS would be in the bin

    As long as they do minifigs, I don't really see the need for 20 inch combiners.

    I'm posing these little bots next to Raiden in train mode!

    Yep! on top of that, one of the most important episode with combiners/normal characters interaction can be recreated:

    I'm sure we'll see some pictures of the minifigs next to a partial-Raiden skeleton for scale soon.

    This makes me think: I wonder if Kaen might come with 1 or 2 (or more?) minifigures for scale with Raiden. Kaen’s train is the smallest of the group, perhaps TT might throw in some extras, like minifigures, to fill out the release.?.

    It's a shame they had to fold up so much train in Yukikaze's legs, he looks amazing to me anyway. That silvery chrome is a real nice touch that shows up in combined mode.
