Neither I believe. I got mine last November-ish IIRC. The packaging is like a bubble u have to cut through to get the toy out.

why is it that for t/f movie toys, certain characters only feature in the deluxe size and not the voyager size? no starscream deluxe?

what is the difference between takara movie voyagers and hasbro ones?

What is a good source to watch t/f episodes online?


thanks for replys

Amongst the Deluxe, Voyager and Leader classes they tend to release just one of each character per price point, with the exception of Megatron and Optimus Prime as these are considered to be the "primary" line up of movie TF figures. Other stuff like FABs, Cyber Slammers, Legends etc are more 'secondary' lines - i.e. marketed somewhat at a different sub-market of the TF consumer demographic (e.g. younger kids, infants etc).

what is the difference between takara movie voyagers and hasbro ones?

The TakaraTOMY AllSpark Power voyagers come with an AllSpark Cube, which is pretty much exactly the same as the G1 Energon Cubes but done in a different colour rubber. TakaraTOMY Incinerator is also black instead of grey.

Go to eBay, search for Hosehead, look at the completed listings.

More importantly, is that a good price for _you_?

also how much is it in Australian money?

You really need to research really simple stuff like this yourself, benben. If it's an eBay auction, you should be able to grab the AUD price from the listing. Failing that, go to www.xe.com and do the conversion yourself.

I don't know. My complete Chromedome set me back $75 & Chromedome is a physically larger Headmaster than Hosehead so...
