So nice seeing that classic Transformers cover art style on shelves again.
I think they are actually different toolings. Both pretty accurate to each different suits depiction in the comics.
It's the other suit, but also from Knightfall. And there was also a Legends of Batman figure based on it, which I used to have. :)
Azbats! Which do you prefer? Light blue or dark blue? Both are fairly accurate to different comics. (Does anyone want to buy the one on the left before I stick it on eBay?)
New stuff in FP. Was tempted by a Swerve (bro), but that's a TFN pickup. If England had won last night I would have bought the football. 🤣
A really random spot on Vinted today. A mini skateboard, featuring Dreanwave art of Optimus Prime, in Transformers Universe (2.0) packaging. Totally rad. I love it and need one. 🤣
Credit where it's due, but Hasbro UK have listened to folks and have lowered the price of the Seeker Storm Pack from £169.99 to £139.99, which is far more palatable. They got that change right. It's roughly equivalent to 4 voyagers. Now I am in for my sweet Solero Dreamwave boy. 😍
The Hasbro Pulse price difference for the UK is utterly bonkers. We are having to pay almost $80 more. Insane.
"Greetings. I am Kranix of Lithone, and I am sure we are about to become bestest friends."
Billy-Dee Williams Two Face figure. Yep gonna need that. I look forward to McFarlane making it unnecessarily difficult to find.
In an earlier version of the movies script, Kranix was supposed to transform into a spaceship. In the Marvel Comics The Transformers Universe guidebook, they showed his alt mode too (which is what this toy was based off)
