    I understand younger folks who found the $600 price tag ridiculous. But for a middle aged man like myself who waited 30+ years for this figure, it's peanuts compared to other hobbies my friends partake in. There's something about being awed when you're 7yo that stays with your forever. The only thing that ever triggers such feelings in me are of those based in nostalgia.

      I don't find 600 usd ridiculous, I've paid more for only 3 Sh Monsterarts figures, but like the people in the comment section said, why is it 1,599 usd? 600 is reasonable, but 1,600? Hell no.
      I'm 16 years old, and 600 isn't ridiculous to me, but I think everyone can agree 1,600 is ridiculous.
      It's a nice figure, but it is not worth 1,600 dollars. I'm sure you can agree.

    Looks good in planet mode but that “transformation” is pretty disappointing with all the shell forming. All that extra kit hanging off him in robot mode just kills it for me. I love my Studio Cell Unicron! It’s cleaner and more toon accurate looking. Once you get used to transforming it the process is easy. For the cost of this figure and it’s overall size I wish the designers did a better job with the transformation.

    • @DavidHutchinson0713
      @DavidHutchinson0713 3 года назад +3

      I agree that the robot mode for 01 Studio Cell looks much cleaner. However, I think the transformation, even when you've gotten used to it, is still not very fun to do (man, those fucking spikes), and in terms of the planet mode, the HasLab Unicron has got it beat (even considering the blue maw). Cell is a good display option for robot mode, but otherwise, I pick HasLab Unicron.

    As much as I am not a fan of kibble, I will admit that the engineering to organize the kibble is impressive. This figure is definitely a fantastic looking piece for any transformers fan, however the missing paint apps do make it feel like Haslab decided to cut corners in order save some money. Fans like yourself who backed this project deserve the very best Haslab/Takara has to offer, especially with it being so expensive.

    Amazing Review just like all your reviews. I saw this back at SDCC 2019 & was so excited for this however Hasbro REALLY Dropped the Ball. I love what they been doing with Studio Series & War For Cybertron so I know the design would be amazing. Yet for a $600 Fan Backed Unicron I can't believe they made his Planet Mouth is now inaccurate colors from what was shown the last almost 2 years. Also I never liked he had teeth but now the bottom are unpainted! Who decided this? The thing about Unicron there is no wait he would be in scale with Transformers even Legends. I love the Armada one for it's size and even if it's not Movie Unicron Accurate neither is this one. Even if I had the space and money for this I know I would be very unhappy with what the final product came out. Also the transformation isn't fun with a Transformer that big. Even the Titan figures with much simpler transformations can be a pain. I'm glad I can admire this figure from videos and glad I didn't buy this. Still love your review!

    The price is what scared me off (and the sheer size of the figure) but this review has confirmed my hopes for this figure: it looks amazing and is a good piece as a collector’s item and as a toy.
    If I had the expendable income and the shelf space for this figure, I wouldn’t have hesitated to buy it/back the campaign.

    Great job on presentation and congrats on getting yours so quickly. I bought 2 Unicron’s for myself on October 5, 2019. One for planet mode and one for robot mode. Looking forward to them being shipped in North America. This regardless will be well worth it. People spend more for their Third Party Masterpiece quality complete combiners. Or all 5 Fanstoys Dinobots are over $1000. I could never justify all the insane money people spend on those, but $574.99 American dollars on Unicron was well worth it. A once in a life time Hasbro purchase.

    I recently got this fig and,
    My did they out do themselves.
    This is easily my favourite mainline figure ever
    And every complain about the kibble certainly don't mind as u can just unscrew them off and get a kibbleless unicron and then take the kibble and connect the panels to make his planet mode( missing out on the rings and stand tho)
    This figure will certainly be a centerpiece in any transformers fan's collection

    @strikerevimus 3 года назад +3

    Fun fact, the Galvatron and Hot Rod slug figures fit inside Unicron's mouth. So he can eat them with no issue, if you so desire. Removing them can be a bit tough, just don't let the spring loaded mouth flip them out when you do. Just thought I'd point it out.
    I also had a bear of a time transforming this guy the two times I did it before putting him back into the box. (No room to display him properly yet, so he's being stored until then.) Do be careful when transforming him, as the tabs are really, really tight. I understand why, but I wound up putting a stress mark on one of the tab slots because of it. Also an issue is putting the slots back into place when converting him to planet mode, the same tightness made it rather finnicky. I love this beast of a figure, but I have a strong feeling I'm not going to be messing around much with him when I can fully put him on display. Oh well, that's probably for the best with $600 in this thing. More of a display piece than something to really play with.

    GREAT review! A few notes for complaining about the backpack/kibble & imperfections on a $600 figure:
    - It is not a $600 figure. It is a $1,500+ figure.
    - People are regularly buying it for that price.
    - Backpack/kibble can be removed, and you can have bot & planet at the same time (woohoo!)
    It is important to understand that this is the going rate for these now, because if you are stuck with the thought of it being $600, it will be super hard to make the jump for many to buy at nearly 3x the price, but that is where we are at now. I suspect buyers at $1,500+ will be just as happy with the figure :)

      If not, this guy will be a displayed in planet mode exclusively. That robot mode next to his younger, more successful brother would just look...sad.

    He is a massive figure but the fact they didn't give the backers what they showed: The all orange maw in planet mode
    and the lower teeth in robot mode. it's INEXCUSEABLE!! The ring's transformation reminds me of the Armada Unicorn.
    For a figure of this size and price point, They should've added some electronics and Voice clips from the 86 movie!! Cell Unicorn transformation was frustrating but the end result was worth it. NO PLANET KIBBLE!! IF Takara comes out with the haslab Unicron with the all-orange maw and silver teeth, many are gonna cry bitter tears for shelling out so much money for this version.

    8:00 - When goiing to final production there is a limited amount of physical space on the molds. Prototyping single pieces are manufactured individually, but mass production uses larger injection molds to create many pieces at once. You cannot mix colors on these molds - all pieces in a single mold are the same color. In this case, either all orange parts only, or all blue.
    Given physical limitations of area and volume, they have to lay out all the pieces and decide which pieces go into which mold, I would say that they simply didn't have room for another orange piece without making an entirely separate mold which is not cost effective for a single piece. So something had to be moved from the orange part mold set to the blue part mold set, which obviously had room to accommodate it. This is also why some parts that would make sense to be cast in orange are cast in blue and then painted.
    Why this is disappointing, I can at least understand _why_ it was done.

    after much consideration, its only logical that a figure of this scale would need to have a proportionately easy transformation as opposed to Studio Cell. Though it's still quite a shame that considering Hasbro's engineering now I think the kibble could be managed much better than what we get here. Though the hollow hands and unpainted lower jaw is totally unacceptable for the price and hype in my opinion.
