I like this comment by Sledge I found on Seibertron:




"Dear Takara,

Please stop slapping chrome on your Transformers until you learn to put it in places where it makes sense.

Love and kisses,

The internet."

I read that too and I think its stupid. With the exception of Henkei Grimlock, Takara has done an excellent job of applying chrome to the figures.

I am more inclined to think that the sentiment comes more from the typical 'I cannot stand that someone else is getting something better than me and I will ridicule them' reaction than any genuine criticism.

I'm with Kup in that i think the choices of where to apply the chrome are excellent, specifically Prime. I don't agree so much with the bronze (BB and HR). Also, I think the chrome adds a wonderful aspect of nostalgia, which for this line of figures, is wholly appropriate.

I think both Jetfire and Ramjet look as great as all the rest of the Henkei's and I will have them all!

[Robzy]

Yeah, sorry Pulse... I'm with Kup and Jaydisc! The chrome has been excellent so far on the Henkeis! Overall they are all sooo much better than Classics IMO!

I actually don't mind Ramjet! The white feet and white arms are very G1. I also like the fact that his wings are red on the underside too!

I slightly Prefer the Henkei's as they are just that much more acurate to the G1 versions.

Although Skyfire is a bit plain I find that it works for me more than I thought it would and evokes more of his cartoon visage. Suprisingly I find myself impressed that Takara coloured in part of his cockpit as that makes him appear to be a bigger aircraft. Something that bugs me about the Jetfire/Skyfire is that its a hybrid of toy and show which for me doesn't quite work. I would have prefered they went one direction or the other. Takara have tried to push Skyfire more toward the Cartoon and I appreciate that.

That said neither is amazing enough to make me repalce the toys I have.

Woah! Back the truck up! Beep Beep Beep...

I never said I agreed with the comment I found on Seibertron

The reason I posted that comment is because I found it funny

Is this "gang-up on Pulse day" or something?

[Zippo]

They both look lovely, pitty I can't afford them this month at all.. Have to hope and cross fingers etc that they will still be around for retail prices in a few months.

I never said you did

My comments are about the comment not you.

STACKS ON!!!

Regardless of whether or not the chrome works, I really do appreciate Takara's thoughtfulness

Whichever <bleep> <bleep> <bleep> decided to make Powerglide white with orange breasts should really take a look at Takara's Henkai toys
