Well, theyve been out for a while now, so have a look at the pics of the Devastator one below.

 

I would reccomend most of these PVCs except the "AI" one. Although the detail on her is great (her head swivels on a ball and socket neck joint-good for making a kitbash model of her!), the implied sexualizing of her and of her relationship with fire-convoy (plus the fact shes made to look about 5) makes it VERY rude and a potential problem for Takara's/Hasbros PR division. To be honest, yours pervly was somewhat shocked by the AI model (and I live in Japan and understand just a little about the culture its derived from).

 

Anyway, rant aside, to the pictures!

Oh, I forgot to mention that the Optimus Prime bust is lovely. the detailing on his interiour parts creates a nive "organic" feel (probably due to the pastel colours used). His head though, is somewhat strange, as purple was used instead of blue, perhaps to create the idea of him being shadowed by the "bright" matrix?

 

I've found that Lawsons, the convinience store in Japan selling these models, doesnt always do them. the one in Narita International airport carries ALL the Tf merchandise high;ighted at TFormers, but my local one only sells the type mentioned in my review. Anyone else having probs with availability?
