Same here for the most part. I find more value for the dollar with the Hasbro versions; if I were to spend 100% more I would expect 100% more value, and it isn't there IMO. I would choose some of the Henkei over Hasbro at equal prices, but definitely not at double.

I don't like the Henkei's "chrome for the sake of chrome". Sometimes it looks fantastic (Optimus' grill, and on weapons especially), but other times I just wonder (Grimlock's thighs, Ramjet's tailfins, and spoilers).

This hobby sucks enough money out of me as it is!

It looks good on some spoilers though.

I like the gold on Rodimus' spoiler for instance.

Though I hate the chrome on Megatron's legs.

yes,the gold chrom on rodimus is much better than the poopy orange on classic. I do not really like the henkei prowl, the chrome spoiler just looks weird.

Henkei Prowl does look a lil weird with the chrome spoiler, at least the paint on the doors are perfect. Unlike the Hasbro one I got back in August.

I only got 2 Henkei so far. I am jealous of you people who get a full time job and able to afford the Henkei!! I would love to collect Henkei over Hasbro with all those nice paint job! But I don't have a full time job and I have to pay for my university fee. So most of my Universe and Classic are US version instead.

I'm sure our there are some Japanese TF Fans that prefer the Hasbro versions over the Henkei ones.

But most must be laughing at the underpainted toys we're getting.

You remind me of my Korean buddy Sean who is a collector from my Math class who only collect Asian Transformers, close enough to Japan? He said our transformers sucks! So we had a debate on the quality on our transformers. That is the reason why I got a few Henkei to check them out, I guess he was right...
