m0n5t3r Posted November 26 Posted November 26 Not really a big TF collector and I'm only really into the characters (Autobots) I remember from the original cartoon up until the 86 movie (which is the only TF show/movie that I can stand to watch these days). Plus, Hasbro TFs are not as easy to come by here... so it's great for me that Takara came out with this set. I wanna say I got this 100% cuz of nostalgia, but I also wanted to see if I could fit those backpack wing thingys and shoulder cannon onto my earthrise Wheeljack since this one will be staying in its cybertronian vehicle mode.

It's been a while since I last rewatched Rebels. The lego one I bought my kids over a decade ago has sadly been all but forgotten. Still waiting for the day Rebels figs with toon acurate faces come out... hopefully after those SHF Clone Wars figs 🤞 Edited November 27 by m0n5t3r Quote

I would prefer if they were 6" figures, but the faces on those look pretty decent... except for Ezra in that 1st pic... looks constipated or something lol. Quote

Yeah, I much prefer the sculpt on Cadet Ezra: My favorite of the Rebels figures are this two-pack, however. They're not very posable, but they totally nail the aesthetic. Quote

MKT Posted November 27 Posted November 27 Wow quite a bit SW goodness. I don’t collect but am enjoying the great pics of the crew & their ship. Quote

But as with most GI Joe vehicles (especially the planes), it’s very underscaled. Did have fun customizing this Skystriker over a decade ago . Even customized some Cobra killmarks back then to spruce up the bird: Quote

m0n5t3r Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago (edited) In hindsight, I've never been so glad to have lost out on a bid I made for a used, first version of this a couple of years ago. Plus this one turned out cheaper than my final bid... Edited 3 hours ago by m0n5t3r Quote

With the auctions "that got away" from me or where I didn't put a bid in, I generally wound up paying MORE later on. Glad it worked out for you! Quote

Well, it's only around a $20 difference 😅... what I'm more glad about is that I got this updated version, brand new, with what I feel are significant improvements to the figure.
