'New' BW Figures

[Minion]

As reported with pictures from Fan 2 Fan on the TF@TM news page.

I am really glad I passed on the Robot Master Beast characters as it means I have no reservations about getting these versions. Both Primal and Megs look really good. I can't wait to see what else they do.

Although the RM versions are a little simple they are accurate enough to please any fan but these redecos are just plain fantastic. They only did 3 other Beast molds in the RM's so I expect they will reuse those and perhaps add a few more basic size molds.

The initial slate for the 'line' was Optimus Primal, Megatron, Cheetor, Waspinator, Black Arachnia, Archadis, Corhada, and Dinobot.

Obviously unless they do some weird repainting it rules out the other RM beasts.

Having been re-directed by a few other TF sites, I have seen a pic which shows some repaints of the figures which all look like they are Japans attempts at the 10th anniversary figures. The Convoy and Megatron we have seen pics of are shown there as a photo of the magazine adverts and then in the other shots, Convoy looks right but Megs still looks a little too purple. The others however look nice and perhaps a little more show accurate in some ways.

EDIT: having been to another site they have linked to Big Bad Toy Store's listing with pictures of the Japan re-release of the toys.

Good find. I really like the look of some of those repaints at first glance. Again i'm glad I resisted the anniversary figures to justify buying those.

Now Primal and Megs have arrived I want to do some proper galleriesof these toys. For now here's a couple of shots of Dinobot and Black Arachnia.

I can't stress how awesome Dinobot is, Black Arachnia is nothing to sneeze at either. I am familiar with the original toys and colours but sadly don't own them to take comparison photos, hence why I was eager to buy these.
