Not sure if this is the same thing that happened with the Kehtanna where the last week saw a big jump in people backing the project or if the international orders are now being added, but anyway Unicron is now at 4814 backers. I believe that's over 1000 backers in the last day or so.

Just announced:

Galvatron and interchangeable beards

It's up to you to decide if you prefer your Unicron's chin smooth or bearded, with both options now part of the Unicron figure. But better than chin choices, the figure includes a 1.5-inch Galvatron figure to recreate one of the most iconic scenes from the Transformers animated movie.

Galvatron's scale makes it "just the right size to fit in Unicron’s hand, as seen in the 1986 film."

Edit: Haha you beat me to it.

I feel this isn't enough to sway people over into backing.

I can't blame them if they're Australian considering while this is still THE biggest transformer its not much bigger than the previously biggest...who was a retool of metroplex, at $99 from big w back in the day.

Seems silly to think like that but that's what nearly stopped me a few times with past titans, I can't be the only stingy person thinking like that, let alone other people who are thinking more...reasonable price limits for their collections.

[Other]

Size doesn't mean jack, Titan Metroplex/Fort Max are incredibly simple figures in comparison and are much lighter than the listed weight of this Unicron. So what if he's not incredibly taller than them, he's way more complex in design and has a good deal more mass to him.

Picked it! Haha. Nice little touch. Glad they are still hyping it with more features.

It has now passed the 5,000 mark... as I imagine that the Americans who held off until the last few days to see if they could afford the big financial hit, are now placing their orders.

Kinda disappointed at the two extra accessories, and hope that isn't all we are getting (to be fair, Unicron doesn't need anything extra to sell itself... I can't imagine that there would be anyone now suddenly deciding to buy Unicron BECAUSE it comes with a Galvatron figurine and spare chin).

The second chin to make it look more like the 1986 Movie face should have been the original chin for this toy anyway, as that's what this toy is supposed to be replicating. And the first chin version it comes with looks like a 2 pointed chin anyway because of the blue patch in the middle.

And a closeup of the Galvatron figurine looks really bad (to me)... I hope the actual version has better detailing and paint.

[UltraMarginal]

That teeny little galvatron is a 3D printed part, unless you're using a premium printer, something that size with that much detail is going to look pretty mangy. I would prefer if that little galvatron had elbows and knees. I think the model they have there is just a single piece.

I do like the chin options, I think if you look at the movie, it changes from one to the other as the movie progresses. animation accuracy and all that.
