These are so unusual and unique I decided to go for it. At the very least they will make for fascinating additions to my collection. I do admit Getsuei reminds me of those model trains we saw in Godzilla movies .

[@HelenaSan425]

i love this guy's train mode it looks realistic or i just love realistic alt modes in the bayverse

[@Andrew7923]

As a train guy, I like the accuracy, but I do understand the annoyance of having 2 tracks. Would have been nice if they engeneered the wheels to be able to click out to the standard gage, by the time you have them all you could just leave his track pieces out and they'll all roll just fine.

[@ElReinoSagrado]

I keep forgetting that these figures are not as big as a Leader Class figure (so far). They look so small in hands, honestly. I think Getsuei is my favourite of the two legs. I love the train mode and all the details. Great review. It was very fun to watch.

[@TFCollector]

Always happy to entertain. 😁

These guys are a tribute to the awesome G1 characters that still need figures. Let's leave the he 84 characters with a new hat of armada, prime, etc alone for a while in Legacy Evolutions and focus on getting great figures for late G1 characters.

as much as I liked shouki, I had to quit when I started seeing reviews of Getsuei 😞 I cannot jutify the price for the size, engineering, etc.

[@TFCollector]

Getsuei definitely isn't on the same level as Shouki. I'm hoping the others will feel a little more worth the price.

[@MrUniq]

I'm getting these..its so odd having these voyager sized boutique/pricey figures that do not dwarf the mainline. People are going to need a stand for combined mode. I think the robot and alt modes are the only redeeming part of this set. I watched headmasters so I primarily wanted good robot modes. I know Takara says nothing but I think they are trying to cross sell these to Generations with the tiny combination mode.

[@TFCollector]

The smaller size is partly what sold me on these. I like the idea that they can blend in with a Generations setup since I would have preferred a Generations release anyway.

[@masterfarr8265]

maybe the leg will be better when Kaen comes out

[@TFCollector]

Hopefully.

[@sandstormer8386]

Did you experience any showstopper QC issues with either Shouki or Getsuei? I'm considering getting one but have read some cautionary tales. Ideally i'd go for the Shinkansen, if it was robust and the transformation not too maddening!

[@sandstormer8386]

And Shouki is on sale in the UK right now too, which is another factor in the decision - but not if he's a nightmare! I think you have just about been the most positive reviewer of him so far though.

[@TFCollector]

I haven't had any issues with them. I would say maybe be careful with the clear plastic panels, but my copies have held up well so far.

[@sandstormer8386]

@@TFCollector That's heartening, thanks! So i'll try Shouki out - for 90GBP/113USD i fear regretting not taking the punt!

[@paulinhisprime8440]

What's the equivalent in terms of legacy size, voyagers?

[@TFCollector]

Roughly, yeah.
