I am brimming with childish glee to see what the colours will look like. Star Saber looks fantastic in all modes and Victory Leo does too, so I know they won't skimp out on ol' Deathy here.

Those are not 2 entirely different designs. One is the cad model and the other is the preliminary blockform version which is just there to show dimensions. Same with the Deathsaurus model showed in the livestream and the detailed model we see in the renders.

I wasn't clear enough, take a closer look. It isn't just a matter of one is CAD and on is a block model, there are actual CONCEPTS in the design that are different. The back of the CAD throne is sunken in to accommodate his back kibble while the block model has a flat back with folding panels that open the back of the throne which I think is a much better design choice. If they can implement the folding panels onto the heavily detailed CAD design I think it would be perfect!

I was sure Hasbro will do Deathsaurus in either HasLab or as a (engineering compromised) Commander. At $180, the $20 inflation premium over VS is IMO within reasons if all the tiers are unlocked, considering it's nowhere near as complex as VS to make, but Deathsauraus will most likely have less backers.

Backed VS, but I'm still butt-hurt about the shipping fee to Canada though. I'm pretty sure I'll back this when the color renders looks good and the last tier is unlocked as I (painfully) skipped the entire Kingdom/Legacy BW figures to have some money saved up while we're in this Hasbro's greedflation period.

I love that the throne and stands are stretch goals. That throne is really awesome

Only a few hours and already over 1/4 the way to the initial goal. Not bad.

Here I was concerned about the December cut-off date but it seems like it might actually complete those tiers before then! :lol:

I was in the first 100.

This is guaranteed to pass all tiers. The Japanese fans are gonna want their hero's opposite number.

insert here the m. bison yes video clip, cuz me am to lazy to fuss over it. but a billion times YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS. this guy has been a long time coming. I still want the rest of the major victory heavy hitters, liokaiser and road ceaser, but having at the very least saber and deathsaurus to duke it out will keep me sated.

by **SpaceEagle** » Thu Oct 27, 2022 9:56 pm

Haha yeah, a proper go at Liokaiser would be fantastic along with a new Road Caesar!

I ordered two. I am stupidly excited for this.

Sad I missed the initial reveal, but totally excited for this. This is also a reason why I'm glad I passed on Legacy Metroplex. The funds are thankfully available now for this Haslab.

I'll probably back this, but I've been less excited about pretty much everything from Hasbro Lately. Costs for TFs are getting toward the point i'll be priced out of collecting them altogether.

The griffen mode reminds me a LOT of an upscaled PotP Cutthroat.

I also find it odd there are only two bonus tiers. I think, and I may be wrong, but I think every other HasLab has had 3 tiers (at least TF and Marvel ones)

They usually don't give up all the tiers on release of the campaign, so we'll see.

They should include the Ghost Rider as an unlockable teir. :-D

That's about the only way they'll get that one out. :APPLAUSE:

38% of backers already secured right after launch for Deathy vs 53% of backers secured with only 3 days left for Ghost Rider. (According to Pulse itself)

Yeah I'm guessing this one will actually be successful. :lol:

(Also already passed the backers for Heroscape project which is at 37%!)

Yeah, but that just means an extra 3000, that's how much the numbers increased when they added the Japan numbers last time. And makes sense, we know the Japanese market is small, they didn't have enough orders for that Brave Max toy to get the bonus figure a few years ago.

Me-A-Saurus, eh? Well, I don't think it looks anything like me

. I suppose I ought to be all over this one simply for the namesake. But I had no nostalgic connection to this character or figure, so I don't see the appeal as much as others do. So I'll save my mortal skretch for the figures that do appeal, and leave this one for his fans. I know many have been humming for something like this, so kudos to you!

Third Tier needs to be Spinister repainted as Deathcobra with a repaint of that snake minicon as an homage to Cobrabreast.

That would actually be awesome if they were to ever do a Liokaiser HasLab by having one of the tiers be Deathcobra that can substitute Hellbat as a limb.

I don't have a 'great' attachment to him, either. But, I do have a Star Saber so it kind of works. Also, since I put my extra up on ebay last night and sold it for double in about two hours, he's already paid for.

Liokaiser and road Caesar are probably the only ones that wouldn't require a haslab campaign. each component isn't too complex or too big, and the vehicles are all toys kids would like to play with, and some could easily be retooled/repainted into more western known characters if need be. Maybe the engineering for the brain master gimmick on road ceasar could require more funding to pull off, but idk. Landcross on the otherhand...
