What Are The Differences?

[Devilbat]

I know about the New Years Megatron and Optimus, and I know of the cool toon-accurate Starscream. But what are the main differences in the general re-issues between Takara and Hasbro? Does one or the other have more die-cast parts perhaps, or maybe even more accurate weapons? What are the differences?

The japanese ones come with a card, the collection ones have a book and fold out poster. AS for the toy themselves, the japanese ones usually have acturate weapons (shorter missles, chrome missles etc) while the Hasbro ones are black or super long.

Takara has everything like the originals plus anime accurate colors plus extra crap. Hasbro changes parts on the toys to fit safety laws...nothing else...

I would have to say Takara's reissues pay more homage to the G1 originals. Chrome weapons, exact details, more working parts, better materials used: just a few examples of the things Takara does over Hasbro. Maybe if kids from the US wouldn't poke their eyes out with Prime's smoke stacks and swallow pellets unlike Japanese children, Hasbro would push for extra detail as well. @loll@

Hasbro thinks US Parents are lame and don't do a good job parenting their children; thats why they have to add "safty" features in their toys or the lame Parents would sue them. Japan doesn't have these problems.

 

but this is another issue.....

Japan does have the same problems, It's just they have enough children that some of them are expendable. @smilepunch@

I just buy one of each depending on the figure. I can use the extra cash for other items on my other lines.

That wasn't intended as racism, It was intended as a joke. Maybe I am naive but I don't see how it could be taken as racism.

i was just talking about popluation when i brought up China and India.

As for parenting, I think America has a lot of frivolous lawsuits, and was pointing out that as one of the main reasons we have so many "child safety" laws effecting the toys we love.

=)

 

#US1# America still is NO 1# in my book though (just with "safer" toys?)

 

hehehehehe

We're not more violent than other countries. We just have more worthless people who need to die.

[trypticon]

i myself am starting to collect the Takara verisons..after gettin 11 and 12, they just look much better as a collector toy...ill pay the extra cash to get a better quality toy and looks @smilepunch@

I try and stick with Takara, but Hasbro has done things that make getting their reissues worth getting like reissuing some characters before Takara. I was very glad to get the seekers, and Red Alert as well. I more or less go with who comes with the reissue first.

[jasonkimberson]

when all is said and done they both put out nice figures and i dont really complain about the Hasbro Reissues
