Opposite Opinion!

[Jove]

I really don't like the leader-scale figures. People seem to love them for some reason (those that can afford them). But I just can't get into them. I have handled several, and the added size doesn't usually translate to added fun. The weight increase usually requires ratchet joints, which reduces pose-ability somewhat (I have found). There aren't that many so they don't fit in with the rest of the "troops" and look out of scale. The added space for gimmicks doesn't make up for it.

People also seem to really love animal transformers in general, and Dinobots in particular. While I agree that dinosaurs are awesome, the idea of a robot disguised as a dinosaur never made sense to me, even as a kid watching the original cartoons. "Don't mind me, I'm just hiding disguised as a metal dinosaur". I never got into that.

Some things I do like that people seem to hate are some of the Star Wars crossovers. Not all of them, mind you, but with a head swap here and there and a dash of paint, they make decent 'bots and 'cons. Definitely not deserving of the derision that I have seen them get from many.

even without the batteries, i hate the swords and getting tje arms lined up, or getting the chest panels out

also the henkei figures, there are a few that drastically improve the figure, megs, astrotrain, and smokescreen, smokes is the only one of them i've bought, i do kind of want a sunstreaker because the chrome is in the same location as g1, but i'm not going to go out and buy a whole bunch of figures for double the price of the american version because it's shiny

I'm not liking Unicron too much. I really wish they would redo him, fixing the back area (making a full sphere), doing away with the removable panels and removing the chest missile gimmick for more movie accuracy.

TFM1 Lawson exclusive gold Bumblebee: A craptastic toy that averages for $300 USD. Why?...Exclusivity? Insanity!!!

[jackwacko]

Animated Arcee.. Went down to the states to get it, cuz every buddy was murdering others for them.. Ended up selling them after looking at how murderously PINK it was.

Classics Bumblebee: Actually just bought it yesterday, since it was CLASSICS BUMBLEBEE, but after opening it and transforming it once.. It really isn't worth the $13 MISB I paid =.=

RID Prime.

Everyone seems to love that toy and treats it like it's the second coming of Christ.

I think he's a complicated partsformer that looks nothing like Optimus when he's in his "Super" mode.

I've owned him 3 times now and sold him 3 times. He's always on the chopping block first when I trim my collection.

Cheers!

I also totally agree.

I only buy the Takara version if there is a good reason, like Binaltech or Henkei Ironhide and Cyclonus.

I don't like diecast. Like chrome, it makes the figure special, but at the cost of paint chipping......

If your wondering, I never touch my Binaltech figures. I like having it and looking at it, but stay away because of the paint chipping gremlin.

I can, however, understand why everyone likes him (articulation, transformation). So, if you have experienced this, post your experience here.

I defiantly agree with you with Generations Drift.

With me and SDCC 08 Nemesis Prime, people practically hate it only because of the blue windows, but with me he's one of my MOST favorite figure in my collection! Reasons why? RID Scourge! He's my favorite evil prime and he's the first one (except for Black Leo Convoy) to be a evil version of prime. And the blue windows on SDCC Nemesis Prime reminded me a lot of the second set of windows for the robot mode chest on RID Scourge, so it all works for me for a black Prime from such a great Prime mold

[Frozen_Primal]

For me, it's G1. Yeah, it's the thing that started it all, but nostalgia sucks. Got all the G1 dvds and i can't even watch them anymore because there's so "bleh". I got a little bunch of G1 and reissues and they are stored away.

Here's another:

Universe Leo Prime

I know it's one of those love it or hate it moulds, and while I see where the problems with this toy lie...I still can't help but like the guy!

The only version of this mold I have is the white target exclusive version though.
