    Holi and Jan were good friends, hanging out more often. It was also thanks to them victory leo comes to his senses and saves them. They're basically a pair of good friends, and Jan is star sabers son so I hold this point

    I do think the shield will be a tier. I thought maybe it could take after the mp and be a stand. Or have the stand come with holi, and Jan with the shield and smaller sword

    This is CHUG scale/detailing, not MP. This is Victory Saber not Star Saber, there’s a whole entire second figure (Victory Leo) that combines with Star Saber to form Victory Saber.

    You can't display him without the pee-stained cape/bedsheet too.

    While I would like a Victory cartoon colored Holi, I'm content with the "Zone" (vintage toy) colored version. What I really want Holi's girlfriend, Clipper. Or Ruth, as I like to call her, which was her name in the Omni dub.

    I mean, yes, because more people collect CHUG than MP. So, the CHUG option would probably win

    Plus we uh, did have a vote. Deathsaurus and Star Saber outlasted most of the things before them, but unfortunately for them, they were up against Optimus Primal. No one beats Primal.

    So do you guys think that it’ll actually reach 20,000 or what is the highest you think it’ll go?

    Well, after the design of a toy there's... A designer. If you want I can blame their Social Media team or another random department. 0__o Saber's specially looks awful.

    Hate the way certain people talk to other users man, it's just a toy.

    IMO Jan and Holi should have been a tier unlock.

    Nah my guy if you feel the need to go onto the internet to talk about how toy designers should “feel ashamed of themselves” you have a couple years of maturing to do, bud. I don’t care about criticism, but don’t bully the damn people who are making the toys.

    Depends on if they count overseas orders this time, which they should do. Especially if Japan/ Takara opens up preorders, but Takara’s been such dicks to the Japanese fans lately, I’m sure they’ll charge a ridiculous premium for this even though we’re way closer to Vietnam than the US is and there’s no logical reason to scalp us :mad: :banghead:  My current prediction: 28,000 yen/$260ish

    The stretch goals are for meeting a certain profitability threshold. 11k is the minimum to be profitable. At this point, the cost of designing and production are paid off. Hence why you get bonuses at specific points. At 14k they can pay for the gun to be produced, etc.

    Well, that's what an opinion forum is for, to share your opinion in a community about something, in this case, the design, wich is the work of the designers. I don't care if you don't agree with it, but don't talk about maturity when you're the one insulting the other ("ignorant child", lol) for just a comment you didn't like.

    I have the same right to say I find it horrible as others say it's cool. Get over it.
