I don't think anyone would disagree that it looks silly. Liking it is a whole other matter ;)Quote:

Get them for a laugh.
A $500 odd laugh though...:rolleyes:
If it is painful to the eye, then the convention people got the colours just right - those Euro & Gen2 era toys were mostly painful to the eye, so to have a homage to it, we should expect to see some pretty aweful, clashing colours.
Could be worse - could a new character with an ugly redeco...
That's really the point. The Euro G1/G2 colors were horrible beyond believe but they are a signature mark of the line. There would be no point in tributing those toys without the garish colors.Quote:

To this date I don't know of anybody who likes those colors even if they do like the new molds (which are mostly very good) and character concept.
On the other hand if a brand new mass released toy comes with such colors - then it is a reason for outrage just how Action Masters were in 1990 and those colors were in G2 as it is fundamentally a crappy idea :)
:)I quite like the colouring and actually own Pyro and Clench:D from new.

Never really seen the actual G2 figure of him, thanks for the link. It is definitely a good homage to the original figure then.
