Wow, I liked him from the previous picture, but now I'm really loving Devastator here! I can't wait to see some pictures of the Constructicons individual robot and vehicle modes, hopefully this weekend!
I think you have it the other way around. Whenever Hasbro makes box sets, they price it HIGHER than what the individual components cost.
It's amazing how much better Devastator's proportions look in this official photo. Hopefully it will silence many of his critics. Primus, I can't wait to get my hands on this big boy!
He looks hella better here than that other pic but I'm still not sure about him. It's his pin-head and tiny forearms that are messing it up for me.
Agreed, he does look better than anticipated. Even Mixmaster looks good. Still, I wish they did just a wee bit more. I cannot wait for (and hope they do release) a Takara deco'd version. However, this Devy is no where near even to replace my Green Giant, not by a long shot.
Except, supposedly, he's not 6 Voyagers, he's reportedly more like 5 voyagers + a leader (Longhaul) i mean, despite the price being a lot of money (relatively speaking), i don't see how anyone can complain about the value you are getting. Because then they can put "Biggest Combiner EVVVVVVAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" on the box, duh.
*Takes all the money out of the Stunticon fund and bungs it right in to the Constructicon fund* Sorry Dragstrip. Here, hang out with ROTF Breakdown.
$150 bucks and Hasbro decides to make the wheels on the vehicles outside clip on wheels. Really Hasbro? Really? Too cheap to at least give "normal" clip on wheels? Sorry 150 bucks should not entail being so cheap as to extrude plastic from the vehicles and clipping tires around them. Ugh.
$150 is just fine. I'm game. I love this. Looks a lot better than the 3p versions to me. I LOVE this. Looks great... Final figure will look different, but still, looks fantastic compared to past attempts.
So I just scaled the dev pic to 18 inches high i.e what he will be close to in real life. At that size the foot although proportionally seems small is still rather big and looks fine. The head although looking small is also big at around 1 inch square. Even at 16 inches high, allowing a margin of error on the estimate, it still feels immense.
looks nothing like?!? THIS: looks nothing like this: but you can't say that this looks nothing like this:
I'd honestly like the pink more then the dark purple. I'm holding judgement till I see the solo robots and the alt modes but so far so good. I'm just thrilled that Hasbro has actually pulled it together so many other figures that were not collector/japanese releases has fallen flat to me the last few years.
