    I usually don't get too nutty for Henkei figures but their Dinobot really is nice. I won't be splurging for it any time soon though, I'm ok with the Hasbro one for now.

    I don't think Takara likes Cliffjumper as a Bumblebee redeco, though this one uses a Bumblebee figure it's not the Bumblebee used in Henkei (they used the Deluxe figure for BB). So I think this is the one and only figure you will get in Henkei as they don't like to repeat figures (especially in the main line) except for very limited exclusives (like the clear figures).

    Yup. The missile was molded to look like his sword, and Takara has painted it appropriately.

    Why on earth did hasbro feel that fans would not like Dinobot painted like this?

    It looks so MUCH better!

    Love the new paint job on ole Choppaface but even that can't save that poor pitiful creature's mold. I can't wait for those new legends figs. I've got all those original figs but I cant seem to resist buying their Universe counterparts.

    What's really got me :banghead:  is that plastic horrorfest Mickey Mouse. I knew after seeing my wife's MLP collection infected with Disney disease that it was gonna be bad, I just didnt know how bad. Now I know.

    I don't think that's the Bruce Timm (animated) Batmobile - it looks like the Burton one with the "armor" activated.

    So what is the deal? Are we getting a re-issue Buzzsaw or Laserbeak? Every time we see a new pic of the Encore cassettes, it's either Buzzsaw or Laserbeak. Is this the final word?! :banghead:  Oh well. Like everybody else, I love HENKEI Dinobot. I am considering purchasing it.

    pre-ordered both grims and dinobot and am eagerly awaiting both - was worried dinobot would get the same random paint that his 10th anniv fig got, but I'm very happy to get this one.

    It's supposed to be his sword. Just nubby.



    He's great. Him, Hound and Ratchet are the only Henkeis I'm gonna get.

    For I second I was like "WTF batmobiles?" Then I realized that the entire page wasn't Transformers. Which is sad, because the Tumbler would make a sweet Transformer.

    You know, the requisite black version of Mickey/Optimus doesn't look as hilariously dissonant as I expected. Kinda reminds me of Steamboat Willie.

    Wheelie looks ok, but Hotshot as an Audi TT ripoff is cutting it close but disney label and Dinobot look cool.

    You should probably see a doctor if that's what your crap looks like. Either that or stop eating Transformers.
