Takara LG-31 Fortress Maximus stock photos & discussion

Amazon Japan has released stock photos of Takara's Fort Max:

Still no sword in the stock photos? :confused:

Other than that, he looks awesome! :D

Yeah, i'm definitely regretting that I passed on him for the Hasbro version... :(

Blaster in base mode is huge. Bigger than I expected, in any case.

I thought that the Takara version would also come with the sword like the SDCC one. Anyone know if it will or won't?

Hope he comes with the sword. his complete lack of guns is making him look naked (the legs ones stay on his legs, so they don't count ) ;)

The latest Figure King has an interview with Hasui on this, hope it shows up online and gets translated.

Ooooh, I love that toy-accurate head on Cerebros^Fortress! :D Interesting to see that there's also some retooling and that it's not a straight up repaint.

I did for one second until I remembered that the Hasbro version cost me $100 less than getting the TakaraTOMY one from Amazon JP. :)

Yeah, I did end up saving $80 by not going Takara, so it is some consolation! :p

Plus PC's price on Hasbro Fort Max was just too good to pass up!

As someone with poor eyesight (read: can't be stuffed comparing the two side-by-side), are you able to give a quick run-down on the differences?
