Ok...this is the galvatron we deserved since the G1 movie. just throw away your classics galvatron and get mania king. hes pricey but it pays for itself. quality is strong cause fansproject knows what they are doing and do it so well. the horns scare me so handle those with care just seem thin. transformation is intriquite but so much fun! the articulation is amazing even if his wrist doesn't move but galvatron don't need no wrist swivel. I mean such a flawless design. looks just like he stepped off the G1 movie. size is great. he fits with classics or masterpiece very well. not as tall as hengemon but a wayyyy better figure all around. just hands down in my opinion the best third party figure to date and I think this will forever be the official galvatron. I don't see how takara/Hasbro can top it

I am very impressed with this toy but a few things I am disappointed about is the packaging looked like the post office played base ball with the box and the figure suffers from size problem. I had hoped he was masterpiece size but other than that he is a good figure even though he around 1 week late.

Call him what you will,l but this figure here is what we've waited 28 years for.
I'm so glad I waited on this version, I love his G1 colors and light up cannon, of course this version has the LED light instead of the Laser Pointer...but that's fine by me.
The transformation is fairly complex yet easy to master, the instructions are confusing though, I had to use Youtube to figure a couple parts out.
My only real complaint is the packaging.
I much would've preferred the full color box and foam insert of V1 opposed to the B&W box this one came in.
With sturdy plastic and a flawless paint job, MK stands great with the rest of your C.H.U.G. collection.

...a lot of fans are upset this wasn't made the first version. G1 fans are the majority of your buyers and always want the VINTAGE painted versions first. This may get you a few more sales in the short run but in the LONG RUN this ruins your ability to gain the trust of a lot of your current buyers. Consumer trust and building your reputation against other 3rd party companies is important. The top 3rd party companies know this and respect the fans of their products/projects.
