Takara Legends LG 50, 51, 52, 53 for November

[DELTAprime]

Zoon Master came across some price info for LG 50 Six Shot, LG 51 Doublecross, LG 52 Misfire, LG 53 Broadside.

Here's his original post from the MP12+ thread.


Just seen this confirming the price plus a few other goodies mentioned.

Misfire is likely to have a Targetmaster partner like the other recent "Targetmasters".

Six Shot looks the same as the TR version except without stickers.

All the others including Broadside have Targetmasters. So sigh I'll be rebuying Doublecross I guess.

[CHILENO20]

Same :) I'm going to forgo the current Hasbro versions and wait for the TakTom ones.

One thing that's weird to me: Broadside is holding Repugnus.. Shouldn't Repugnus instead go with Doublecross? Since they're both Monsterbots?

<Thinking... thinking hard>

Ah! Takara wants you to buy Doublecross AND Broadside to complete the team.

Takara, you sly fox!

It might please people to see the Japanese Misfire has a black robot head, as the Hasbro (prototype) figure we saw at the Australian Toyfair had a pink head (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=24029)... which may not be the final colour, but if it is, at least the Japanese version has the more Gen1 coloured head to it.

Awesome. His headmaster is Beastformer White Leo! :D

[griffin]

Well, now we see how they are going to have Blurr (and probably Scourge) catch up as Targetmasters, without re-releasing their toys in Japan... they have Blurr's Targetmaster (Haywire) paired with Doublecross (https://hlj.com/product/TKT96386/Act) - which explains why that toy was seen with a Targetmaster gun at the Tokyo Toy Show, despite the Gen1 toy not ever having one.

I was trying to recall who that was as it looked very familiar. For anyone else who doesn't know, this is White Leo (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/White_Leo), from the Beastformers series during Gen1 in Japan. (these toys were released in America as Battle Beasts, but were not related to Transformers in any way)

Unlike Scourge however, Blurr isn't a complete fix though without there being a modified shield out there with a weapon post up top in vehicle mode.

Ah... (having a look) that does appear to be the case, which is a pity.

But I am hoping they have sculpted the Targetmaster gun to be able to plug into the front slot of Blurr's vehicle mode, where the tap pops up... either into the tab (which is there to make the Titanmaster's vehicle level) or the slot that the tab folds into.

With the way TakaraTomy designers will sometimes add in things "just in case" of a future addition, I am surprised that they didn't put a post hole between the tab and the Autobot symbol (on the vehicle mode), even just to have the regular gun plug in there.
Well, I would be surprised if they don't design Haywire to plug onto Blurr, since they are going to all the trouble of creating the Targetmaster "Nebulon" in the first place, and pack it in with another toy.

To be honest, with the rarity of the Legends Blurr (commanding high prices on the secondary market), I could see TakaraTomy doing a second run to coincide with the release of Haywire... but not necessarily with any sculpting changes to accommodate Haywire - just to cash in on it, because there will be a lot more people wanting the Blurr toy now, and it is currently the hardest one to find.

[Sinnertwin]

Oh well. $50 says they'll just jam Haywire where his regular gun goes in vehicle mode and call it a day.

I thought about that, but I seriously doubt that there'll be enough clearance. I know there definitely wont be on the side ports with the width of that gun mode.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if some third party doesn't release a modified shield with the gun port moulded into it. It's definitely the sort of thing the likes of Dr Wu would do.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Just popped an order on amazon and thought whn I looked at the cart,
Phew! Thats a lotta toys at once!

I thought the movie was supposed to give me a break from the awesome legends toys.... Only 2 months break it seems.

Also on the Blurr front, perhaps there'll be a way to stick it on using the blue stand thing somehow. Should be easy enough to use as a peg.

White Leo/Daburo looks nice!
