Transformers legends LG14 ultra Magnus

This was my first purchase of the LG line, the price was right, so I took a chance and bought him. I had been buying many of the Hasbro CW figures, and wanted Ultra Magnus. The Hasbro version of this toy looks cheap, where this one feels sturdy. The light blue of the Hasbro isn't as nice as the darker blue on this guy. Also, this one has painted hubs on the wheels, whereas the Hasbro version is just black. It's amazing how something so small like that can make such a big difference. It just overall LOOKS sooooo much better. Transformation isn't difficult. If I had a complaint, it would be that the shoulder missiles are just one big molded plastic piece, rather than an actual launcher with plastic projectiles, but that doesn't change how cool he looks in either robot or truck mode.

Originally I had purchased the hasbro version of this toy, while I was happy with the mold and the look for the toy the materials and quality control on that version was lacking.Not happy, I decided to take a chance on the takara version in hopes it would fix some of the problems present in the hasbro toy.I'm glad I did.Not only does this version look visually better (bright white plastic and more vibrant colors and paint applications) it feels so much better in the hand. Plastic feels "sturdier" and has less flex to the thin areas and joints are all tighter and smoother in their function and feel.Those leg panels that sound like they are breaking the hasbro version when transformig them to robot mode?Gone.Stress marks on the back of the legs right out of the box?Not their.If you are someone who, like me loved this mold but hated the issues present with the hasbro release, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this version of the toy if you do not mind paying a little more for your transformers.

This figure hits all the right marks for me. It looks amazing in both robot and vehicle mode, a very sweet throwback to his G1 self. The transformation is complex enough to be interesting, but still intuitive and manageable. It is genuinely very cool to transform the cab and trailer together into a unified robot.I also greatly prefer the look of this (Takara) version from the Hasbro. The darker blue, plus the extra paint details and QC are well worth the small bump in cost for me. Also, the mini figure as Alpha Trion looks way cooler than the Minimus character from the Hasbro version. I strongly recommend this figure for any fan of Ultra Magnus or anyone who cannot spring for the very expensive Masterpiece version.

This version of Ultra Magnus is WAY better than his Hasbro version. If you can afford it, buy this one.Pros: Colors are great. Awesome shades of red, blue, and yellow.His vehicle mode is good too. the cab and trailer don't seperate, and the cab is a lot smaller than the trailer, but the cab can still turnindividually and is very nice.The little guy Alpha Trion (Minimus Ambus) can fit inside Magnus just like in the IDW More Than Meets the Eye comics.Magnus's hands can open and close!Cons: It's hard for Magnus to hold on to his weapons.Magnus can't hold his hammer like he can fight with it, he just holds it like a staff.Overall, Magnus is worth is price tag

Good product and durable action figure. My thanks to the seller!

Excellent! Takara is much better than Hasbro version.

Great seller !! exactly 14 days for shipping , the figure is awesome !! nothing compared to the hasbro version the colores the paint everything well worth the extra bucks and now that hasbro is getting more expensive its a no brainer to jus go a little more for the perfect version , my only complaint is that the box was skin tight so everything that happens to the outer box the toys iner box gets the same it was so tight i couldnt get the figure out tight!! they should give a little room and pack these thing like its going to travel from japan to USA

Ultra Magnus looks fantastic in robot mode...
