    I hope they do the BM nod with the Hannibal Lecter face mask, like PE did.

    Beast Machines nod, heck no, I want the WHOLE new battle damaged figure... Or how about if all goes well and they release this icy blue one, I hope they make a whole wing/cape attachment with robotic arms. THAT would be what separates a CHUG figure from this MASTERPIECE. With it's shelf presence, heck I''ll still buy a third version of this mold as a Beast Machines Version at this point.
    Come on JX, milk this mold. There is a lot of potential now that KINGDOM/BeastWars are becoming more popular.
    Wish list would have been TigerHawk, TM2 Dinobot (could you imagine how good the pearly white paint would have been on this thing), and Optimal Optimus.

    The paint on the blue version looks so much more vibrant than the renders. I'm a bit more tempted to get it now, but I really don't need to waste the money or the shelf space. Maybe I'll sell Mega Doragon to lessen the blow.

    Same here, the PE Mega Doragon looks so lack luster since JX came out with their Winged Dragon. Do you think they will actually be able to produce the Blue version with all the trouble they are having with TigerHawk?
    I'm not sure if I want to place a deposit for a preorder and lose it if they don't come through.

    I keep them both, Megadoragon looks so cool and Winged Dragon is big and shiny.

    I usually do it because I display my figures in all of their modes.

    Most of those face sculpts are new. Right?

    They mostly look good!

    The figure looks amazing. Damn. I don't think I can afford 2 without messing with my budget, but I'm jealous of those of you making it work!

    Agreed. Looks like only 1 (maybe 2) is BW Megs.
    However, ONE of them looks like G1 Megatron in a new helmet!!! :eek:

    It looks like there's two helmet pieces, and two new faces plates. Left to right, top to bottom, the first two (top left and top center) are the new faces. The face in the top center is also the face on the bottom right. But the different helmet pieces dramatically change the expressions, because the eyebrows are raised so high 0071cF8sgy1gqlf656nf2j30u00u2qvc.jpg

    My heart stopped for a bit.

    Though I kinda hope they'll run some of the purple down the dragon neck like the RiD toy, and the all-gold 'bot eyes could maybe use the irises painted on (though I'll bet that in-hand, this is so shiny it'll look fine)

    This looks glorious even if nothing changes. So excited!

    Eh, if they did I'd just stop at here, lol. The OG and the cryo is all I would buy. I wonder if there would be some that would buy every color that gets issued, if so, this would be JiangXing's TW equivalent of Devastator...guess would make them some big money if so, hehe.
