I don't like die cast either. It doesn't really add anything to the toy and plastic would make it cost less. I wouldn't call Titanium "proof" though. Those toys would've been shit even without the die cast.

That's what happens when Hasbro allows Galoob to design their transformers.

Not entirely true, War Within Prime would be awesome if it wasn't plagued by the diecast.

no issues at all for balance! (was mentioned in the review at some site I wrot---err read)

Now if the Die Cast are used for the Web Exclusives, that would also justify the price to make them special.

I totally agree with you on this. Den-O's SHF ankles are one of the best. OOO, on the other hand has really weird ankle design.

So happy that I got the Double Chaser, it's simply gorgeous in either mode! Also gives me much hope for the Robo Itarsha, which is SOON!

Den-O · 11-11-2012, 01:33 PM

Oh god Itasha. Makes me tingle.

What is the Japanese release date for the Cyclone Joker reissue? BlueFin is carrying the reissue and I need the Japanese release date to make the proper estimation.

I'm pretty sure the entire series is on Hulu.
