I have the Takara versions of the Fembots on order and canceled my Hasbro preorders because they look much nicer. Anyone know of a gallery for the other Legends figures that compares them to the Hasbro counterparts? I'm thinking about buying all of them if there are good improvements to the paint apps.

Considering they're released in Feb (supposedly) I think you'd be hard pressed to find galleries any time soon. Maybe I can find pics when I get home.

But from the pics i''ve seen I think Windblade is the only Legends variant to get. Better looking face, and RED paint apps are a vast improvement on Hasbro's blackparts redparts constriction.

Chromia, not liking the half painted canopy and the overuse of mauve trim. Hasbro's simpler two tone blue scheme just looks more cohesive.

Arcee, I could go both ways. Legends is definitely more accurate to g1 but I like the use of black plastic in hasbro's version. The negative space hides some of her bulk and I find the price more agreeable. Unfortunately nothing can be done about her half-a-car backpack.

I did say the "other" Legends figures, not the Fembots which I've already made up my mind on. The others are out already/out very soon, but Google doesn't seem to know what I'm talking about when I say Legends vs Generations Rattrap, etc.

Alfes2010's blog! (http://higekumatoytoy.blog60.fc2.com/) He usually gets new Japanese releases and exclusives as soon as they come out, and generally has the Hasbro version already for comparison.
