Ah yes, the top cab lights do indeed have extra paint apps. That's cool. Also, the truck windows on the Hasbro version appears to have a very slight/subtle blue tinge/hue to it... possibly another effort to make it look more like the cartoon model. Would've been cool if they made Witticky (sic) blonde and called him Buster, but I guess that kinda defeats the "toon accurate" theme of the Hasbro version (plus Buster never wore boots).
A Hasbro version of a toy looking better than the Takara release? WHAT MADNESS IS THIS?
Very impressed will be buying for sure.
I love it!! Can't wait to grab this :eek:
I can't be the only who does "not" like the look of the paint apps? Surely.
And are his eyes painted in the same lighter blue as his legs? :confused:
Takara for me...
Hmm... to me, this comparison reminds me of what a G1 Prime looks like next to a Pink-imus Prime; I think my main qualm is the choice of Blue used in the Hasbro version, it's just way too light for my tastes & I much prefer Takara's more 'Original-Toy' Blue. :o
It's kind of set me back in wanting to obtain this release again, my opinion may change though if/when I see it in person - $150 is still a pretty damn good price, even if North America will be getting it for $99. ;):)
Yeah man, that's exactly what my problem is with the toy as well...I feel that the blue is too light. Not a fan...
Personally I don't think yellow paint apps for Primes lights improve the toy at all, I think Prime looks best when they confine the use of yellow to his lower torso, too much just doesn't look good.
I think the Taktomy one still looks a little more classy than the Hasbro one, but as the Hasbro one is cheaper (and I already have Takara's original MP Prime) that's the one I will get.
LOL You people amaze me, You complain when there aren't paint apps on the Hasbro version and then complain when there are. :rolleyes: I also don't consider the Tak/Tom colour to be blue, I would call it more a purple which does match up with the original G1 toy colours.
Purple? :\
Anyway, I complain more about the 'shade' of the color apps, not so much the lack there of on a particular area of the toy such as headlights ect. Prime Bulkhead comes to mind. I'd rather hasbro over TT.
In Prime's case, I just feel (IMO) that the shade of blue is too light for my liking.
