Re: Conundrum over FT-21 Berserk given FT new practice of reissuing with paint.....
Really? I think Galvatron, Cyclonus and Jetfire all look better in the repaints. I guess I just don't understand the need to 100% mimic the tech and limited colour palette of a kids, 80's cartoon that had terrible QC.
Do I think that the original MP Wheeljack looked good with a completely chromed out face? No. But I think that there is a good middle ground between these 2 extremes.
I mean, if you were a 100% 80's cartoon purist, then you shouldn't like the windows in the +, and which are now standard, figures, because they are blue translucent. They should be solid blue, or completely see through clear like they would do if Spike was in Bumblebee or something.
I just think that what would look best, would be something more in line with what we envisioned in our minds as kids, which is probably somewhere in between an overly glossy, metallic, chromed up Wheeljack head, and a flat grey plastic.
