>>5422360Get ready for some heresy.
Bruticus is my favorite so I'll probably get both anyway, but quite honestly seeing this, I think I like Take-Off better. And in a perfect world, Take-Off with this head. But I just can't like this Blast-Off aside from the shuttle mode.
>Big fat chest that makes the head look tiny>Weird looking hand/foot weapon>Fat clunky legs with thin upperlegs>Thin arms in comparison to body>Very exposed arms in shuttle mode, at least Vortex doesn't have his fists on the upside>Ugly feet, I don't care if it's G1 accurateOn top of that, there's the whole thing about how space shuttles don't fit in with combat vehicles. I like Take-Off a little bit more seeing this, but Blast-Off isn't horrible, and I'll get him anyway.
I'm also slightly concerned for this as Takara has been doing way too cartoon accurate paint schemes on some of these figures, making them look very boring and plain. Hasbro shouldn't have more paint apps. I guess the one last thing I'm hoping for is that Takara fixes Brawl a little bit, fixing the waist, and maybe the hands if we're lucky.
