Nice short review. Personally, I prefer short video toy reviews like this. I'm going to pre-order the re-issued version featuring chrome thighs and articulated fingers.
I thought that Takara's Super Ginrai was a decent Powermaster figure. This one? Many steps ahead of Takara's version. Plus, he's taller. Finding this toy will be a pipe dream for me, though.
@@Aidan_Yao That I'm still aware of. Shame that I missed out on buying him but I had recently bought Marvel Legends 12-inch Thor and was low on cash at the time.
I think the hate this figure gets in terms of transformation is because a lot of ppl (like this reviewer) seem to mistransform him and then conclude that it's piece of junk. In reality, if it gets transformed properly (barring no QC issues of course), then it works super well. I also love the MT version, which was surprisingly made before this one, but it's selling for a lot more than it's actually worth and I'm pretty sure MT went of business in 2020.
Compared to the original power master Prime this has better legs and arms in both the cab and combined form however overall the original was a simpler transformation and honestly looked better to me
Sorry for not notifying you about this sooner, but your wish has came true! Fans Hobby did reissue that figure and made some new changes to it, they added red eyes and chrome thighs on both the core robot and super modes which is a nod to the original G1 Powermaster Prime, and an adjustable bumper to give the super mode chest a more curvy look, and new hands with fully articulated fingers!
Although this ginrai appearance is not very nice, it can set many poses and its scale is prefect to takara tomy mp serie. I am looking forward to see overlord.
I don't like how much this figure uses slide rails and such to move the parts about. Using friction like that makes the figure feel like it'll have a short life span.
I'm really struggling to decide which to get. I like the scale of this one but I do think thunder manus looks better. I also have striker noir so that's leading me towards make toys. There's just something about this I love
I think this is the first Transformer I've seen in a while where every mode looks compromised, personally I think it looks a complete mess. I'll take the 2017 Power Rangers Megazord over this guy. :P
You have fun with your little megazord, I'll continue enjoying the hell out of this bad@$$ Transformer. NOTHING about his combined mode looks remotely "compromised", vehicle mode, only his trailer is flatter than it should be, base modes are almost ALWAYS a joke, though the G1 BASE mode was actually pretty good. THIS is actually the first Transformer in awhile that doesn't SUCK doing what it's supposed to do AS THIS CHARACTER, and AT THIS scale. You might just want to stick to your Power Rangers.
