    Zeta-cron was behind Corona the entire time!

    But seriously, it is also interesting as I recall before it was shelved, Zeta mentioned they were discussing whether to make the head detachable. It looks like they may have come to a conclusion. “O1” can sell the “cell-former” and Zeta might then just offer “skeletal wings” and a “devil head” add on parts for something completely unrelated.

    It's looking pretty good, especially the yellow. But why is it still so small? I'd have thought they'd up it to a height above the Zeta combiners height whilst on hiatus...

    The colors are a big issue, it looks off still and the planet mode colors are really mismatched. :-/

    I know I’m in the minority opinion but I want him that smaller size. Bulk and height is what finally made me pass on haslabicron. I’d have nowhere to put him and it’s hard to play with a figure that big. 1.5ft tall is far more manageable.

    The multiple threads thing is bothering my OCD but it kinda maybe seems justified this time since it's under a different company now? Maybe the other thread should be locked?

    Good to see this finally making some progress but come on, we all knew it was coming, whether zeta continued to produce it, sold the design to another company, or just sold it under a different company name.

    I'm liking the colors for the most part. Planet mode is a little off with the big orange squares on the sides instead of having the orange band around the equator, but I guess they had to make some concessions. Now hurry up and get a proper pre-order with price announced!

    Ah yes, the big FU.... wait weren't they almost sued and got scared of Hasbro enough to shelve it and make it under a new company name? Honestly, with how cocky their attitude was, Hasbro won this since they ended up delaying that highly marketed and boasted (december 2019) release date and scaring the shit out of em.
