Henkei and Universe Cyclonus comparison

[kup]

I have to admit, in my oppinion the Henkei's bright purple really hurts the look of the figure. I expected it to be more cartoon accurate but I didn't expect it so 'happy' looking.

And to be fair, I have to give credit to Hasbro on improving Cyclonus' overall color scheme from the previous pre release photos. They have made a great difference by making a proper looking silvery plastic than the standard 'Hasbro gray' they too often like to use.

At this point the Hasbro one has graduated to being an appealing choice in my opinion.

I give credit where its due.

I actually like both colour schemes!

The Hasbro one is not as bad as I thought - very true to the original toy (which is great), and the Henkei one is very cartoon accurate!


I think I shall get both... Cyclonus and his armada!

However Henkei Nightstick looks freaking awesome!

wow

having played with a friends Cyclonus today, this is kinda ironic, considering that in the original movie and G1 tv series Cyclonus showed up in various purples, so its kinda fitting that he have 2 moulds of different colours, im hoping the Henkei one wiill have a bonus 'blue' to it, like the original toy

I wish the henkei purple was just a fraction darker, other then that I still prefer it over the hasbro one.
I'm more worried about Nighstick. All that Chrome!
Why oh Why do Tomy/Takara insist on putting chrome on parts that you will actively move and easily chip...
*Sigh*

The next thought that scared me would be what if they did Scourge? I'm going nuts on Acid Storm but Sweeps would absolutely murder me. I guess its kinda good thing that Classics 2.0 is wrapping up, eh?

Classics may be, but is Henkei?

My line of thinking is that Henkei will go onto hiatus too with the exception of repaints. It seems to me that Hasbro always promo first and then release the toy before Takara gets to use it. So that's why I think it'll be on hiatus. Especially with the abundance of movie stuff we're getting next year which is going to be more than last time, I'd imagine

Man I would love a bunch o Scourges.

I too had a play with rollers friends Cyclonus and I like enough to get both methinks.

I assume that henkei would finish when the movie toys start kicking around.
