    Oh they can be still be silver, if Takara is smart they will do it on the front of his thigh and leave the other side brown unpainted plastic. Something like this:

    PXL_20230316_182638209~2.jpg

    I'm hopeful that Takara at least uses a lighter shade of brown for greater accuracy. Bring on Dinobot vs Tarantulas!

    These look great, but I still wish we had some Beast Wars MP's coming.

    Since this is coming fall/late 2023, what are our chances?

    Doesn’t really suprise me since all the PF figures either look slightly different or are missing paint apps seen in the promo pictures. Was a matter of time for this as well.

    That I get, but the difference between stock photo and, ahem, finished product is astounding. Good thing I didn’t buy it yet E3B22ABF-98C6-4833-BD68-2446F809177C.jpeg 1BA938B5-E985-47E2-A499-C3E02B59DC2E.jpeg

    looks like the white is molded and not painted.

    Doesn’t suprise me since it’s not the first time with PF.

    Likely I’ll still get it cause I like the paint, and my Primals thighs are chipped so I might replace it with this one. Also just I love Kingdom Megstrons beast mode so that one can now stay in beast mode.

    looking at it now, it was probably just a photoshop trick or lighting

    Since these are Japanese repaints of the toys, I feel it appropriate to post the goofy af Japanese show intro

    That stock photo reminds me of when they airbrushed Cybertron toys to such an absurd degree you just knew the real thing wouldn't be nearly that pretty
