yay Galvatron! I'm gonna give him pointy spock ears, too!

Like Megatron, I think that the toy is pretty poor...but there's that nostalgia about the figure and the character that makes him a must-have for me!

Amen to that! I'd get the purple one too. I don't care if it's $10 more I have to pay.

Looks good.
I have the original though, so I'm not going to buy it.

Hmm, if they're going to the trouble to remould the face, you have to wonder why they don't do a minor head remould too so his "crown" looks more movie-like.

Ugh, even "improved" I think that toy looks like a sack of buttholes.

Oi, that's the first toy I ever owned! I have very fond memories of those buttholes, thank you very much.

:glance:

Okay, I've said too much now.

I... don't see the face remold there... the new colors are nice, though.

I'm gonna get it for 2 reasons:

A) It's yet another leader for my collection
B) I have some childhood memories from him

But I must say, he is ugly.Not G1 Megs ugly, but ugly still.
Really want the original(basic) Rattrap's gun. Please PM me if you have one you might spare!

Looks nice [never owned the toy], but I'm a bit hesitant...7000 yen? A bit too much for what you get, in my opinion.
Few stuff in the UK to trade/sell. Measly sales thread.

I kinda like the original colors better. Maybe it's a sentimental thing, but I think it's going to take a while to warm up to that large amount of purple.

And yes, like I said above, ugly figure...but it was the first leader TF I ever owned, so ugly and new colors, I'll still probably pick it up.

There's no reason for me not to get Galvy reissue now. Movie accurate color, remolded face, and a matrix to boot. My wallet's gonna hurt a bit but I'll be loving it.

Eyes have been narrowed.

It's all this talk of "w0w!1 he doned got a m@tr1x!!!111" that I don't get. Unless I'm not reading some text properly... the fact that there's a screencap of him holding the Matrix in TF:TM doesn't say to me "toy also includes a replica Matrix"

So now it's show accurate as opposed to comic accurate. Still cheaper than buying a mint original...
