Toy Review - Masterpiece Ultra Magnus

[drifand]

Question is, Hasbro has been toon accurate most of the time, so why would they suddenly do TT's job? Had to ask.

If its anything, this is made Tokyo exclusive and made to G1 Toy colours. As TT does want to have alternate colours to sell anyway?

Mind you, I do agree that the purple was meant to simulate grey or silver.

oh gawd, please don't make a new FIRRIB-like UMRIWUMRIP (Ultra Magnus' Rifle is white Ultra Magnus' rifle is purple) debate! </cheek>

Both Hasbro and Takara Tomy switch between different canonical fidelities or even hybridise, depending on the toy. But MP22 is clearly going for toon accuracy.

I'd be down with that

Well except for the lighter blue

example of someone who'd prefer a hybrid between show and toon likeness. what colour would you like the eyes to be? Blue like the cartoon & comics, yellow like the G1 box art, or holed or white like the G1 toy? I'd go for yellow.

Come on, who really likes a purple gun? lol

I didn't make a debate on it, as far as I am concerned, you don't like it because of a purple gun then don't buy it, or just show magnus fight bare hands.

As far as debating, its over, the toy is made, don't think a string of arguements will change TT minds at this point.

It becoming quite obvious and maybe a poll should be made,

Do you want your mp

in toon accuracy

in G1 Toy accuracy

Or compromised best of either, up to the designer not what fans think or toon looked.

I would still go with blue, although a face gimmick wouldn't be a bad (or difficult) compromise to make for those who want to choose their preferred.

The lighter blue would be the only reason I'd buy it!

Different strokes for different folks!

When it comes to non-toy or toon accuracy I generally don't mind the Hasbro design team's choice of decos. I find they have pretty good taste. Problem is the budget constraints often don't really give them much to work with. This is improving in the recent Generations line.

I'm soooo tempted to start a UMRIWUMRIP poll! It'll break the Internet!

Isn't Umriwumrip a town in the Northern Territory?
