JP Legends Headmasters from Titans Return

[5FDP]

reminds me of the movie repaints of original galvatron. I like it! But i'm now regretting not getting the 35 dollar hasbro version from premium

You and me both. Completely missed the presale

Haven't seen the non-CGI pictures of Hasbro Galvatron so I can't compare, but I think he will be fine in hand and very '86 movie accurate. The reason I think that is because what Takara's photos tend to look like is a little brighter than the final figure. Just look at MP-11 Thundcracker for example.

Anyway I ordered all three of these guys along with Delta Magnus from HLJ this morning.

The only one of these guys I'm interested in is Skullcruncher, and I'm kind of torn.
I like the colours and headsculpt better on the TT version, and it'll be way easier for me to get my hands on, but I don't like the way that including the little dino-bird-guy (who actually looks pretty cool - it's the only one of the vehicle-and-headmaster guys that I liked) with him means you can't have it in dinosaur mode, and I also sort of want him to have a standard blaster like the G1 version.

I think the Hasbro release has narrowly won out here.

So if TakaraTomy are pairing up with their Deluxe figures, the vehicles from the Hasbro Titan Master size class (the packs that have a head and transforming vehicle), I wonder if they will still be releasing those Hasbro heads at some point, or use them as in-store purchase freebies like all the Minicons and Legion toys in recent years.

They'd probably work well for gacha machines, as well as hopefully those a retro style headmasters pack, like they did back ion the day with those 5 (?) HM dudes.

Amazin japan has a listing up and says the release will be in July, does that mean we'll see TTs before hasbros in shops?

wow a shockwave? will this be a Takara only release.

hmmm new Japan only sounds for Fort Max

[prjkt]

That's the CW Legends Shockwave mould

Otherwise, nothing much new here, looking forward to the colour reveals

[MEEEGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!]

I wonder what extra head Shockwave bundles with? Knowing Takara, it'll be the head that matches with Skullcruncher's dino dude making you have to buy it just so you can complete him.
