I dont know if its the packaging but they look so small...???
Either the card has become bigger or they have reduced the standard size of deluxe figures.
According to comments from people that went to Botcon on the link above, they are indeed smaller, more like big scouts than deluxes (WFC Bumblebee would tower over FOC Jazz). Someone did a comparison pic with WFC Megatron further down the page.
I doubt they would reduce the price for the smaller scale :rolleyes:
Is it known if Shockwave can be used by Bruticus as a gun, or as a weapon by other TFs?
Wow - they are smaller!! :eek:
Maybe instead of buying everything like I was going to, I'll just be selective. Shockwave and Starscream might be all I buy if they're that small.
they look good to me, jazz looks to be the biggest
Jazz I've warmed to - initially it looked like his upper half was far too large proportionally for his lower half, but that was from the first batch of photos that were ever seen of him. Recent photos have looked better so I'm chalking that up to bad initial pics.
That said I am nervous that the shoulder panels, which are the 'doors' of the car (as much as a space car has doors) don't lock into any and just fold over the wheels - one my my biggest TF pet hates are figures that have shoulders fold into place but that don't lock properly.
Optimus is a no - I can wait for Magnus (+ I already have the henkei and Generations WFC Prime). Basically everything else from this line is a no except Starscream.
And maybe the Combaticons depending on how impulsive I am at the time/how easy it will be to get all 5.
How are these 'deluxe' size??? I'd say they're more between scout and deluxe. Wouldn't it be great if Hasbro reduces the RRP to reflect the size reduction :rolleyes: One of the reasons why I haven't bought any of the TF:Prime toys.
Is it just me or is there something a little bit robocop about jazz's face? It's probably just me...
Jazz and Shockwave I'm pretty happy with, even if they're a little smaller, Jazz because he's a sports car (albeit a space sports car) and Shockwave because he's still got chicken legs like his g1 counterpart.
