Wow...
When did you get this may I ask? Was it during the period where all sold out and pre-announcement of Henkei reissue? Im guessing that's the case, especially when the Henkei version can be bought for around $30USD currently..
Anyway in regards to the thread topic:
I used to love playing with toys as a kid... but now I really want to play, but just can't find the urge to. I display most of my collection, and the way I "play" with them is to pose them to my liking, and that gives me great enjoyment. Once in a while I'll take a certain figure, transform it and admire the beauty/engineering and re-pose.
Maybe I am weird, but sometimes I watch a few g1 episodes and fiddling with the toy of a certain character that's in the episode is really fun, makes me appreciate it more. And when the series 1/2 ending music comes up- makes me feel all warm and fuzzy insideI love that g1 music- so awesome!
I didn't know much about brawn, but I was watching an ep with him in it, and picked up the henkei brawn figure- made me appreciate the character and toy even more!! I think this is the reason why I prefer Henkeis for more show accurate paint schemes in the classics line.
