Hey all.
To those who own him, is Animated Leader Bulkhead worthwhile? I've been thinking about getting him from the Kmart sale. Still, I already own the Voyager, so how do they compare.
Poll should be up there for opinions :P Let me know what you think!
If your after proper size , yes you definitely must get it. Gimmicks wise he's ok, I dont own the voyager size coz I dont like how short it is. He's just as poseable as the voyager anyway, plus he's got those sound & speech gimmicks. Though in the toon his weapon is a wrecking ball ( voyager has that) in the Leader size though this is not present , instead we are given a circular saw in one hand ( non removable) and some detachable missles ( which isnt shown anywhere in the toon). He does come with the Headmaster erm... Head which activates a different speech pattern. All in all I say for the reduced price of a leader with all the gimmicks and proper sizing.. get him.
I've had a fiddle with both Leader & Voyager Bulky and Leader Bulky makes a pretty darn good figure. :)
$72 is a pretty good price for him too (You won't get him for much better than that - in the foreseeable time being that is... ;))
I think it'd be worth it on sale. Now that there's a sale I'm gonna be looking for a Leader Bulkhead for myself. :) Wouldn't pay full price for it though.
I feel the same way with Ultra Magnus - grabbed that on sale yesterday. So glad I didn't pay full price for it.
Leader Bulkhead is an excellent figure. I highly recommend him. Only complaint is that he has the buzzsaw instead of the wrecking ball, but ah well. The saw is actually kind of fun anyway.
Also, OWNAGE! TOTAL OWNAGE!
Too bad it can't transform as a real headmasterQuote:

The animated face is also a nice touch (on all Leader toys) The Headmaster attachment is a nice bonus but if the character annoyed you in the show that's not a selling point.
I voted no, just because noone else has. Disclaimer: I don't own the toy and haven't played with it...
Gack!! Now that's making me have second thoughts.Quote:

Not sure if I really wanna have two Bulkheads...
Well, I don't own him yet - but I'm gonna pick up Leader Bulkhead in the next few days. I think he looks great! I am VERY disappointed in Voyager Bulkhead.
And so far, the other 2 Leaders I've bought are absolutely AWESOME! :D So, I can't wait for the next one!
Okay, I just got Leader Bulkhead this morning and I have to say that it is definitely a better toy than the Voyager (and a better Leader Class than Ultra Magnus)! I would recommend getting the Leader Class over the Voyager, especially now that it's on sale.
But if you want a cheap Voyager Bulkhead, LMK as I'll be selling mine now. :D
Good move, I was very impressed with Leader Bulky.Quote:

If I could only get one I'd pick the voyager, more show accurate proportions win over size any day for me.
I like the proportions of voyager better. I wish they would have just made the voyager one alot larger. Would've been perfect then.
I was disappointed with Ultra Magnus... he's kinda like this... block. And some of his articulation is thwarted by kibble (e.g.: shoulder kibble obstructs elbow articulation). And the instructions appear to have been illustrated by a retarded lobotomised monkey. :/ Not a complete brick by any means, but for at a Leader Class price point I find him disappointing. I got him on sale and at about seventy bucks he's pretty good, but I'm glad I didn't pay full price. Ultra Magnus is a nice toy, but IMO he's the weakest of the Animated Leaders.
Anyway, getting back to talking about Bulkhead, here's a comparative photo between Leader and Voyager Bulkhead. :)

btw, the Leader Class can do the "chair mode" whereas the Voyager can't.
Maybe I'll go throw one on Layby. That seems like a viable option.
Thanks all!
