    So I went out today and got myself a "more metallic Hasbro" Sideways, or so I thought. After a thorough inspection, not only did I find it darker but there's a TakaraTomy manual lying in the box! I believe this is the first confirmation that these are in fact TakaraTomy versions, take note that I got this from a local importer, not a regular retail store.:bay

    Well that's good. The fewer variants the better.

    As far as I can tell, all the variants that have come up so far are for non-US figures. Amirite?

    Pretty cool. But I'll just get whatever version we get in the US.

    Pretty sure that this is the one I've seen all across New Zealand toystores.
