I didn't have the Powermaster Prime mold at all until I got SDCC 2017 Prime. It's a good figure, but in trying to see if I could put any of the God Bomber armor on it, it hit me how much of a hacked together afterthought Takara God Ginrai is.
And yes, I had God Bomber ordered before they announced the boxed set. So I'm double dipping. Between that and Hasbro's handling of the clones, Transformers has been mean to collectors lately.

yea i got godbomber before magnus prime and man, bomber is just a legit terrible toy and really put me off from wanting the god ginrai mold. I feel like people really hyped up the ginrai mold but its kind of a let down, it just doesn't feel that sturdy and the weird feet are pretty badly designed. I was looking at my g1 power master prime and aside from the head, the original has much better proportions and so much more enjoyable. Weirdly both fort max and ginrai are my two favorite transformers and both their TR iterations have been huge disappointments to me. Thank god we are at least 3p versoins.

On a side note, there seems to be a loooooooot of qc issues with the set, ive seen so many people post all sorts of issues. My thunderwing head had lots of paint chipping because for some reason they thought giving it a pained metal head was a good idea?
