eHobby Magnificus

And, dammit.

I customized a Magnificus a few years ago. But, in a way, that just makes me feel more obligated to get the official figure (especially as the official figure is legitimately better by virtue of having a new head sculpt).

-going to have a high skip rate, but is apparently being drawn in for more expensive toys....

God dammit. And worse, they probably won't have a Ganymede to go along with him!

Lucky for me I don't care much for the Perceptor mold and don't really give a toss about Magnificus!

I thought the rumor was that Perceptor's remold was actually going to be Reflector. Hm.

Anyway, that Generations/United/whatever Senator Ratbat that Japan's got coming out, that's something I'd love to have.

Hey look, more pics.

I like Magnificus and Ganymede as a concept. And he's a pre-TF colour scheme guy, so I'm just about required to love him. $60+ is a lot to swallow, though. If this were out at retail, or an annoying store exclusive, I'd be all over it.

I notice that (in the pics) Magnificus does not seem to have a rank of zero. And, he has a prominent Decepticon sigil. Both of these things run counter to the idea of him being an exile (with a rank of "0"). Of course, it has been pointed out to me that the character profile on this toy may explain those things.

I didn't think the RTS Deluxe Perceptor's toy was worth the $6.99 Tjmaxx store price. Their is no way i'd pay those high Takara prices for this black "Magnificus" repaint/retool.
