I got the two new Encore toys today too. This is like when we all got Alternator Rodimus last year. :) It's nice to have a Ratchet who's all in one piece again.

Which is why I put in (open to debate) 'coz frankly for myself i find the "improved" formula is indeed somewhat cheap in feel when you look and touch and yes weigh the toy in your hand....there is this, less plasticky feel to them, like a little to soft and rubbery feel , i don't know how to adequately describe it. Less brittle I guess but then like a little bit above the cheap plastics of KOs, something of that sort.... hmmmm but yeah probably since the product is mass produced (in China, macau and everywhere else) that they opt for the cheapest, yet not too generic materials.... sort of quantity over quality (we've seen plenty of questionable Tfs released lacking of such I believe) to meet the demand or lack of it.
But having said this as well, the encore satisfies a demand and the quality of the product I got may not be as stellar as I had hoped in comparison to the original but still delightfully not cheap looking and certainly not lacking as the blatant KOs proliferating the current market.
Well i don't have the originals Gok.. But disappointed in the sense that this it the first G1 Ratchet and Ironhide that I have, yet the paint job is not good, some smudges here and there and the pieces don't fit back properly, there are like gaps in between, prominent ones..
