What a pair of timeless icons we managed to find by way of absolute perfect timing. The Ferrari F50 of course looks beyond incredible with piercing red paint and sharp tampons to match!

Garbage Bandai stickers aside, my only other nitpick with this set is the lack of above knee swivels since their construction actually does limit the range of motion in the thighs joints.
Otherwise, this is a great budget way to collect the full Gozyuger team.

They finally arrived, and nothing could've prepared me for those dreaded Bandai stickers.
ESPECIALLY the shoulder pad labels.
Those alone make me want to commit crimes against humanity.

50 years ago on a big lake they call "Gitche Gumee", the November Witch claimed the lives 29 men and their mighty ship.
Once the queen of the lakes, she is now forever immortalized in both legend and song.

1). With only some light paint application, that test shot figure becomes the easiest route towards making one's very own custom Marvel Comic Optimus.
I'm also fairly confident that a small conversion set from @Toyhax could also add some comic shading labels as well to REALLY sell the look.

I am quite possibly the ONLY person in the entire fandom who is GENUINELY excited about this set for 2 major reasons.
NEITHER of which include the fully painted devastation Optimus.

Most of whom will be either collectors who can afford it or a select few who are intrigued by the concept of a "How it's Made" figure set.
Though having a Optimus that could easily double as "Hate Proof" Prime is itself a pretty enticing prospect for someone like me.

While not intentional AT ALL, I do like how we now have toys that can stand in for both Hate Proof Prime and Marvel Comic Prime (albeit with some light paint application for the latter).
