Don't know which figures to get (HELP)

With all the figures out there, some are more pleasable than others and worth buying/getting. Christmas, is coming and I would like to get myself a gift for an excellent year I had, turning my life around with just one job, so therefore, I would like pamper myself with a toy or two. Currently I have: Universe Smokescreen, Universe Bluestreak, Classics Prowl, RTS Jazz, Henkei Starscream, Henkei Skywarp, Henkei Thundercracker, Classics Thrust. Now I want to expand both my ranks by acquiring an Autobot and a Decepticon. Now the problem is, I don't know who to get. Any suggestions from fellow TF collectors?

Thanks

Re: Don't know which figures to get (HELP)

I'd suggest getting an optimus prime and a megatron - either classics/henkei/united. The voyager class molds have been reissued a few times, so you should be able to acquire one at a decent price.

Every display needs a prime and megs.

Re: Don't know which figures to get (HELP)

I try to keep it to one small niche collection since there are TONS of figures. I will get the licensed car molds (or fairly accurate representation) and that is scaled in that line, so it is mostly movie figures and masterpiece cars, alternators and alternity.

But most people are classics preferenced. gotta get an optimus but RTS jazz is really cool though (looks like a nissan).

Classics Prime and Megatron they don't please me as much.
Classics Prime, he the Shattered Glass figure same model. Also, with the panels on his forearms doesn't feel right and that makes it unpleasant, Deluxe Prime is a nice figure only if he didn't have that spinning gimmick and his rifle gun (Prime needs his Ion Blaster). Classics Megatron, not interested in a nerf gun, and what is he supposed to be MegaBat? with his wing panels on his back, also his shoulder canon isn't making the figure more interesting either.

Nothing says "Way to go self...yer awesome" like a Masterpiece Optimus Prime.

If that's not doable I agree with Bruticus82. CHUG Optimus and Megatron. But IMO, the legendary FP G3 Trailer is must if you own a CHUG OP.

Re: Don't know which figures to get (HELP)

My suggestion for an Autobot would be CW deluxe Prowl. He's a solid figure & you should be able to find him @ TRU and/or Walmart right now.

For a decent Decepticon I would wait until the next CW deluxe wave hits retail & pick up CW Deluxe Swindle. Youtube reviews on this one are pretty good.

Good luck on whatever you decide.

^^ CW Prowl doesn't feel like Prowl, he is missing his shoulder launchers, wing doors.
