The Korean Transformers seem to be the same as the Japanese ones, just repackaged for the Korean market. Much like say how the early Beast Wars toys that came out in Australia were sold in European multilingual packaging, but are otherwise the exact same toys as the North American ones.Hehe, he is indeed quite cool and I'm also glad to say that even though he's Korean - He' still top notch quality so if anyone had/s reservations about picking up any of the Korean Beast Wars figures?, worry not.
The only Korean TF with a minor difference is Brave Maximus; the Autobot logo stick on the tower is factory-applied upside down.Another gripe, not with the toys, is the tech spec cards. Poorly designed - but since I don't speak Korean I guess that's a moot point, but what's even weirder is that they sometimes don't come with the correct tech specs card or none at all!
Did your Big Convoy come with the right tech specs card? I might have a Korean Big Convoy tech spec card... if so, you can have it. I'm quite sure I have a Korean Magmatron tech specs card too - if so, you can have that for the Japanese box art. I have the Japanese versions, so they're superfluous to me.
Worth $60 though? :/ I'd like to get the Ark, but I can't justify paying $10 over the RRP for a Voyager for it.Haha, it's worth it for Roller alone mate! There's just somethin about him...The gentle purring of his motor as he scoots along the deck, the way he makes the fembots laugh, his reknowned piloting skills...What a bot!
The Ark itself is a very nice display piece if you've got the space. Kinda reminds me of those Mighty Max play sets (anyone remember those?) but on a larger scale. It's just made that much more awesome with the inclusion of ace pilot Roller
Hopefully it'll go on sale soon... but there's a chance that my impatience might get the better of me... we'll see.
