[5FDP]

New images deserve a new thread

Unicron has appeared in the latest Hyper Hobby Magazine including a comparison shot of the new / old head mold.

Below is the scan for everyone to drool over...



I don't know about everyone else here, but I'm counting down the days

That is quite a difference in the head sculpt. Glad I ordered one, though my wallet feels it

Stupid exchange rate

Would love to have ordered it but way to expensive for my tastes. Why don't toy companies wise up and mass release the figures all pers have been waiting for?? stupid limited releases grumble mumble

I think that deserves an "Ooooooooohh!"
Shame they didn't take out that missile thingy and replace it with a sound chip.

How cool would that be... "I AM.... UNICRON!"

Purchased, but shall leave MISB and leave my Armada Unicron on display. While the colour is nicer on this release, I actually prefer the head of the Armada version and since that is all I can see in my display shelf ...

Yeah I was also thinking the same - Although this new head is indeed more true to the G1 character model, it looks less menacing than the Armada one, possibly due to the round forehead.

However overall I still prefer this new Unicron due to the more movie accurate color scheme but the teeth of the planet mode should of remained the same color as Armada .

The Armada teeth colors would serve to match Unicron's inner teeth as in 2:09 of this video

I love the new head sculpt!

For MISB collectors, I hope the front of the box opens up to display the toy inside like TFC book reissues do.

That Unicron is BEAUTIFUL in robot mode. Its exactly how I imaginged a G1 accurate unicron would look like! The problem is that it'll be fricking expensive and its only a re-rool. I already own the Armade unicron and I can't justify having two. I would love to see what the packaging is going to look like.
