Some awesome pick ups again mate. That Wingblade Optimus is stunning! Medix is my favourite use of that mould. Not the greatest mould, but not bad. 86 Bumblebee looks fun. I think I prefer the look of Netflix overall, but don't enjoy the transformation that much. The yellow on 86 looks nice and from what I have heard he is fun to play around with. I think I will end up getting him. Enjoy TF Nation mate. Will look forward to seeing what you get. 👍
I do really enjoy Netflix Bee, especially for that altmode. But I do not like the proportions and the partsforming is a no, but still a good figure. Thanks mate and thanks for watching!
Since the insecticons were smaller than for instance Autobot cars (which are mostly deluxe sized) the deluxe figures appear to big. As such the scout figures might be better scale wise.
Nice comparison mate. I have never been a big fan of the Insecticons myself, but did get the Prime Wars ones for my son a few years back. They are fun pocket money toys to mess around with. I think the bug modes are better than their robot modes. The Legacy ones look to have better robot modes, but the bug modes are a bit blocky like you have said.
Tbh he’s still my favorite mainline prime figure. Don’t get me wrong the new 86 figure looks tempting. But like with MP-10, I think this figure’s design is a perfect balance between the original G1 toy and the G1 cartoon appearance incorporating the best of both worlds. With some 3D printed accessories, trailer upgrade kit, and toyhax stickers you can really make quite the Optimus Prime figure.
I’d consider it, I have the Netflix version and ever since I got back into collecting I’ve been dying to get my hands on the original. The reissue is so tempting, but I already have 86 preordered and I think this is just going to go by the wayside for me
i got the netflix takara version of this prime but i dont feel strong enough on the new 86 figure to buy it. Like the commander class ultra magnus. I didnt feel there was enough difference to buy a new figure to replace the Kingdom ultra magnus.
This is a good figure and the SS86 looks very good too, but I still love my Siege Prime and am sticking with him for my display. I am excited for the new Legacy deluxe class one because toy trumps toon for me. Nice to hear your thoughts as always. 👍
I really enjoy the Siege figure and I regret selling it. It is my favourite Prime figure, besides the TFA Voyager. That new Deluxe looks incredible and I will probably pick it up! Thanks for watching
I got this guy on discount a while ago and I really like him. Sure the articulation in the shoulders is lacking, but he is otherwise very good. Great presence on my shelf in bot mode, really fun to transform and the tank mode looks excellent too. 👍
I have all of the original versions of these figures. I never did like the clear plastic windows. So fragile and i always worry about cracking them or breaking. I pre-ordered these because of that reason.
Looks awesome but let’s be honest. They could have brought the price down a little. It isn’t as big as black zarak. I think it should be atleast 169.99
I really like tidal wave, but I am unsure about this one, is $200 and is tiny compared to Zarak, and he is not even as tall as Metroplex, don't get me wrong, it looks awesome, but is very small
Thanks for comparsion to Zarak, he is tiny! Seriously Hasbro... Titans cost $280 in my country. That´s a lot of money, over 1/4 of average monthly salary here. I accept shrinking of normal TFs as they are a lot more complex than during CW era for example and it makes Titans look more imposing... But now they are shrinking those in size as well? I waited for so many years for new big Tidal Wave, seeing this I could´ve just recreated the original, add knee joints and then print him out.
Very, very interesting; I barely noticed the mustache originally, which I don't think was part of the original design but along with the chin/beard really suits him as a naval commander
Tidal Wave is going to be my first Tidan Class figure. I am so excited to finally have a new toy of him after twenty some odd years, Not counting that box set repaint of Board Side. I'm tempted go out and try, key word being try, and getting The Ark and Nemesis.
