I need a good view before I can vote.

Premium Leader Prime:



Don't you mean, Rabbit Leader Prime?

I can't really say, they are both on par with me.

Thanks for linking the pic :)

Originally I would have said original, but im liking the premium a lot more now.
Don't know whose is more movie accurate though.

[Kyle]

I still haven't decided and voted yet...


Old head: designed and sculpted with the body together at the early stage of movie production. Transformation constraints and later changes to the CGI model = body not movie accurate anyway. The head suits the blocky body well, kind of a uniform feel?

New Premium head: obviously intended as an attempt to look more movie accurate. But the ears "feel" too long? Haven't got a toy in hand to help make up my mind yet.



This feels actually kind of like original G1 Prime head vs iPod Prime head.

The iPod Prime head which is modelled after the MP head is more cartoon accurate. But the original head on the original body just feels so right. There's a nostalgic factor at work. Very hard to be objective based on look alone. But this is very different from the movie head situation, because the movie heads are still so new.

both look crap, the 2nd is more accurate to me, but the long stalks are sooo stupid what were they smoking?!

These are some screen caps from the movie, for comparisson.

With the battle mask.

I think the original head looks closer to the movie version. The premium is more accurate with the long ears, but the head isn't round enough or big enough to be in scale with the ears like in that second photo. I think the original is more accurate, and I also prefer it over the premium.

The new head seems a little small plus it looks like it's looking down. But JP Premium is very shiny... :p

Movie accurate or not, I think I like the old head more too. :)

The shine is nice. I've still yet to open my Leader Prime. I tend to forget his box is buried under a pile of stuff... for nearly a year now.

:eek:

Why oh why?!?!?!

Leader Prime is such a nice toy!!!

:eek::eek::eek:

I know (and I'm a little surprised now realising how long it's been sitting there unopen) I just never got around to opening it and it slowly got buried in the landfill that is my bedroom. I have an open Nightwatch Prime. Now however I might sell my MISB Leader Prime and go for a Premium one.

Nooooo! It's not easter!

Just pass LCZ your premium and he'll give it all the "shine" you want. I hope to soon in the future.

[griffin]

That photo of the shiny JP Premium Prime makes me wanna get one now... :(
I already have three of that mould. Not really wanting a fourth in the space of a year.

[STL]

Just realised, you're 1 away from 2000! oooh, who will it be?

My main issue is still with the chrome under feet in bot mode. I think I'll have to put a dedicated carpet underneath him wherever I bring him. :/

[roller]

Im going to try and get the jap version

[Kyle]

I'm thinking whether to swap the 2 heads when I receive my JP Premium... :p

[Pulse]

The more I compare the 2 heads, I find myself liking the regular figure's head better by miles :).

I'm guessing it must have been around about Easter when they designed the "Rabbit Ears" head... :rolleyes::D
