The anticipation must be killing you lol

Got some stuff in. I honestly thought I was just getting the case and the bonus DVD, considering how insanely cheap I got this set.

It's pretty new, they release older molds with new colors in their version of the toyline for the recent Robots in Diguise-cartoon.

They use toys that fit with the new style out of older lines like Animated and Prime. They use the Animated Dinobots as stand-ins for Grimlocks teammates in RiD for example, and Animated Lockdown get's repainted as the master of the Insecticons, which also get released in the line.

Since I'm not really interested in the new toys for RiD, I picked up some repaints I really like. And the Beast Hunters Dreadwing mold with more serious colors looks really cool.

The work helps to not get crazy about it :D

And I did open Dreadwing to fiddle around with, that helps too ;)

ahh, nothing like fiddleing With a New transformer. unfortunatly I never got my hands on any version of Dreadwing. not even a cyberverse.

I can recommend this one. The paint is typical Takara, really good and lots of it. Transformation is similar to the cyberverse from what I get. But he is a Beast Hunters toy, he has beast influences in both jet and robot mode. The jet-nosecone is shaped and painted like the beak of a hawk, his feet are bird-like and the wings fold open like feathers in robot-mode, although that's optional.

If you don't like beastformers this might be a deal-breaker for you. I quite enjoy it (I am a Beast Wars-fan after all ;) ), and without the bright and IMO misplaced colors of the Hasbro version it actually looks like a robot with animal-like features instead of Dreadwing in a bird costume.

But he also didn’t appear like this in the show, at all, so if you want the Dreadwing from the Prime-cartoon this one's no good.

Since I can't start a photo-session with him right now, Takara Tomy's YouTube channel has videos up for their Adventures line where you can see how the toy is transformed, that gives some great understanding on how the figure looks in hand: http://tinyurl.com/q4f44ru

And since the release was like 3 weeks ago you should still find him for cheap. I think AmiAmi still has him in stock too, for that price he's definitely worth it!

If you missed toys from that era in general, like I did, you should follow what Takara's doing with this line, there are lots of Animated and Prime-repaints in there.

I need to get rid of my Cyberverse collection, lol.

I fave no trouble With beast influenses (bought a case of 8 beast hunter toys just to get a smokescreen), I just want a dreadwing. I also have an almost Complete Collection of prime RiD Deluxes and Voyagers so.

also, did you know that most beast Hunters are based on beast WARs characters? f.eks soundwave-deapthcharge.

Then I would say get this one :D

If you have the funds and enough interest.

Did not know that, I wasn’t collecting when Beast Hunters was a thing. Makes sense though!

I hope to have an official TN gallery up late tomorrow night for Renewal Kuuga, including several shots comparing it to old Kuuga, who frankly, now looks rather ugly and disappointing.

Although, dammit, Bandai has got to start gluing in the kneepads on these figures. I may have just lost one of Kuuga's. DX

No... the magnificence will make me depressed that I can't achieve such greatness and I won't shot photos myself :(

...

Just kidding, I'll totally do some silly shots. It's about time people ask me where the Capri Sun comes from again, after all.

Same for elbows please. The elbow-pads of the Gaim-guys keep popping of all the time.

Good luck on finding that kneepad though! If everything else fails just yell that you will never smile again if it stays lost, if some of Kuuga's spirit is still left in it, it will pop up right in front of your feet.
