    "It's not a bug, it is a feature" applied to toys :) 

    Does anyone can read Japanese and translate what it says on this part?

    There are much better lines for straight action figures.

    Has there been any leaks for Tripticon yet? I am very curious on what that looks like compared to Fort Max.

    I did include the phrase 'to each his own' but apparently that wasn't enough. If you can link me to an officially licensed, fully articulated, 2 foot rendition of one of the coolest G1 figures for less than $150, by all means.

    Take his legs, open 'em up and point 'em skyward.

    It's floppy as hell but looks great. It wouldn't be that hard to make a third-party solution to lock his legs this way. Could probably even make a brace that folds up and hides inside the leg.

    So, Hasbro Asia's promotional Master Sword is the most accurate.

    Seems as though. Hasbro Asia's has the closest-looking use of black on the lower blade and hilt.

    It's all moot for me, though. Mine's staying in the box.

    I was thinking more along the lines of replacement legs that would fold in on themselves like the G1 toy. You would need entirely new legs.

    That would be cool, but wouldn't it be hilariously expensive?

    Yep, that's why I said it would be difficult for 3rd parties.

    A quick translation of Cheetor's text, courtesy of GoktimusPrime on OzFormers:

    Colour images and sale schedule for Masterpiece Cheetor have now been announced! As with Optimus Primal, hydrographic and tampographic prints have been used to produce spots all over the body's surface. Furthermore, the head section enjoys a diverse range of expressiveness with 3 interchangeable eyes to switch between normal, angry and surprised. On sale in January 2017, RRP 7560JPY (approx. AU$100).

    Anyone know what those AOE Optimus and Bumblebee figures are? I'm surprised AOE based stuff is still being released.
