PE is known for its add-ons just as much as their figures

 

PerfectEffect PE

 

can i say called it? lol

 

So has there been any word that this will come with an optional maskless face? I know PE is trying to sell this as an evil Optimal but surely someone has told them that this is just Primal's season 1 color scheme.

 

nope not yet but a lot of people seem to want it, and they will know its "G1" colours, they just called it nemesis because its black and red.

 

you mean S1 colors

 

no i dont  

 

while i know this is G1/S1 colours, them calling it nemesis does make me a bit nervous, like they could release a more cartoon accurate one later with the mouth head or something. hope we see a physical copy soon

 

Beautiful figure

 

I get why they would push the existing stock of black Gorira Jr's, but I was really hoping they'd re release them with an open face plate head. It's no biggie if you have the original, but what about the people who were waiting for this version?

 

Man, those little gorillas mustn't have sold well at all if they had to make a third repaint of Gorirra just to push them harder.

 

Really? I saw them outa stock on all the major sites for a while. I think they made another run for people who missed them the first time. I love mine, they're pretty funny and make sweet axes/swords!

 

I skipped regular and after some hesitation the Primal Prime version. But this one looks too nice to pass.

However, it is a bummer if he only has the face plate head. I know, it's toy accurate to the original ultra Primal toy, but I've always much preferred the open faceplate with mouth for Primal.

 

... It was a joke.

 

He only joined up in December. I don't think he knows blue text = sarcasm.  

 

Yeah, that's why I didn't do anymore than explain the context.

 

Why does blue text = sarcasm? I always thought sarcasm in print was denoted by an exclamation point inside a set of parenthesis, as in, "I really love falling off a cliff(!)"

 

I've absolutely never heard of that before.

As for why that's how it's done here? I don't know. But it is the way it's done here, and once you get used to it, it's pretty intuitive.

 

It’s been done this way for years. I forgot who started it, but it was amusing and started shortly before the Batman and Robin comic when Batman slaps Robin across the face and says “Preorder canceled!” In regards to whatever Robin is trying to say.

 

I see (!) used in closed captioning and subtitles quite often. It's always placed at the end of a sentence or phrase.

According to the English Language & Usage forum: "This usage is simply a passing note of astonishment at the preceding word (or perhaps phrase). Typically there will be no further comment on this astonishment, and it is just an aside. This may express real or feigned (sarcastic) astonishment by the writer, or be used to call attention to a surprising aspect of the use of the preceding word."

So I guess it doesn't always mean sarcasm. The blue text is more obvious. I can see why it's used (and I don't mean that sarcastically).
