I feel like I watch a review on YouTube nearly everyday and he always blows up my Instagram haha.  I usually try to avoid looking to not spoil it, but damn he does look beautiful.  Just like you said.  I loved Earthrise Prime, I have no intention of getting rid of him, but early on I did feel the colors were a little dull.  It kinda fit the vibe of WFC with it being grittier, but once SS'86 started in 2021 I just felt a new Prime was necessary.  I didn't really have gripes about the legs on Earthrise.

 

Nonetheless they really went for it with this guy, Optimus deserves a Commander budget!  Hope we get more cartoon figures because my interest is peak with this.

I've been kicking myself for not getting Commander Class Ultra Magnus ever since I got OP. I went through a period where I was just looking to finish off the leader class Dinobots.  I always liked the Commander Class and was going back and forth, should I or shouldn't.  Now he's around 2-3 x retail.  Hasbro has to have a re-release planned, I hope.  I think Jetfire has had three runs. Anyways, I added Springer and the latest BB after going around a year with my only addition being Swoop.

Studio Series Ultra Magnus might be my favorite figure of the entire SS86 line. It's just magnificient. The commander class figures don't always seem like the best value at nearly $100 each, but once you feel them in hand, it starts to make sense. I wonder if they'll do a SS Rodimus Prime. It wouldn't need to be different from the Kingdom version. Same with SS versions of Cyclonus and Galvatron. Cyclonus is perfect as is.

Lucked out today at Target, they had Commander Optimus on the shelf while they have promotions for 25% off a toy and $10 off a $60 purchase going. Incorrectly assembled heels, but I was able to easily remove the pins and swap them.

Nice.  I was hoping for Swoop to be out there.  Maybe for a future sale.

I did start preordering the constructicons.

 

I used to have the Voyager class devastator from 8 or so years ago and sold it. That’s one I regret selling.

I’m a little disappointed the new devastator is smaller. Imo the 18” one was a great size and it was pretty solid

I like they still made Devastator slightly bigger than Menasor and coming Superion. I’m getting the combiners. They are still pretty awesome a bit shorter! 

Isn’t there supposed to be more Blaster cassettes coming? How will they release them since the tiny formers are going away? I really want a correct Steel Jaw (I got two left wings) and Ramhorn.

Thwipp!

Studio Series Springer is/was on Amazon for like $42. Finally pulled the trigger and bought him. Also EE finally charged me for Studio Frenzy. Been on back order since last year. Never saw him once at retail and I looked around. Finally get to own the little f***er.

Wonder what's up with Swoop.  There was a trickle of figures back in Sep and nothing since.  Meanwhile, I keep seeing restocks of the previous 2 Dinos.

I just saw Swoop and Springer at Target this week. I think they may still be trickling.
