>>5974524>why is the line so popularSame reason marvel legends still exist, they look the part and are very simple to work with.
I bought him, painted what needed to be painted such as the FACE, bought a shapeways adapter, avoid the "third mode" (can still morph it into a pseudo-gun mode like the g1 toy rather than the forced place) and he's fine for what is essentially a kids toy.
If you want a better galvatron, wait for the masterpiece line from takara to get him going, or buy one of the many third party ones, some are amazing, some are up to preference
>>5974670The thing with takara is they aim for cartoon accuracy, for better or for worse, the color layout on legends blurr would be the same as what the mp would use (though even legends blurr is stylized to a small degree compared to the animation model), I'm still trying to work out what hasbro was trying to do with theirs since the g1 toy they were trying to emulate was a failure and ended up as a 2 colored slab of plastic with little to no variance apart from robot mode (but to be fair, both blurrs are slabs of blue, one just pops, the other is drab).
In the end, even the masterpiece figures are but mere toys since the entirety of the show and franchise was to sell toys, bright colors boost sales potential, and is exactly why TR blurr and Scourge are shelf warming in comparison to their wave counterparts.
I mean shit here we just had wave 2 drop and they're fucking gone but in their place I see pegs of blurr and scourge, only bought hasbro scourge for troop building.
>They should have painted other details instead, like fineass weathering and shadingSee, there is a problem with that, unless its tampo'd (which still carries risk) it'll get scratched off, and why many custom transformers end up being stuck in a single mode, that and tf in japan is super robot shit so they'd rather them clean
