Gen Select 27 Galvatron

[griffin]

GS-27 Galvatron (toy colours) is now out in Hong Kong.
It is scheduled for release here in the first week of October... but delays of recent toys will probably affect this one as well.
(America isn't expected to get it until November)

It looks like the gun barrel is sparkly, like the original 1986 toy.

I much prefer this Deco (sans stickers) to the regular retail release

Can confirm that the cannon is indeed sparkly. Also, at least some of this batch have the shoulders assembled correctly (vertical notch to front, top of tongue in shoulder smoothly curved instead of detailed). Looks great without the stickers, although some paint is necessary (the crest, the belt).

Just got charged by zing
Hope we get a toy deco cyclonus

Mine arrived last week from Amazon Australia, so I cancelled my ebgames order. I didn't even think to check the shoulders... I guess I wasn't too fussed about it on the regular one.
Good to hear that the barrel is sparkly, as it needs to be for a proper toy homage.

I've read that all the Gen Selects have good shoulders, but don't quote me on that. So far, I haven't seen one with bad shoulders.

Well, there'd be no good reason for the shoulder issue not to have been addressed, given that Hasbro has been aware of it for months now, and this is a separate production run.

Anyone tried the fix for the shoulders that has been floating around? Some people make it seem pretty straight-forward, others make it sound like an easy way to destroy the toy...
