So a new batch of Studio Series toys has dropped, including a redeco of
Kingdom Galvatron in a color scheme that's more accurate to his G1
animated appearance. The previous toy had a shade of purple that was a
bit too close to the red end of the spectrum, but this new edition has a
much more blueish-purple color that is consistent with his appearance in
The Transformers: the Movie and most season three episodes.

The orange barrel is opaque on this version, instead of translucent like
the G1 toy. This release also fixes the issues with his black-colored
shoulder armor and kneepads and toes, which should have always been grey
to begin with.

Pre-orders are live now, selling for $54.99 and expected to ship in
February 2025. I don't expect he's going to sell out very fast, because
a lot of people who bought Kingdom Galvatron may not be willing to shell
out another fifty-five bucks for the character again in slightly
different colors. But, I keep buying this toy every time they produce
it in different colors (I think I have four of them now?) so at this
point, I see little sense in stopping now...

This makes the THIRD time I've had to shell out for this SOB.
Annoying.

Interesting. He's been on sale for months, I wonder why Hasbro thought
there was enough demand to issue him again with only a slight redeco.

Still looks wrong to me! Galvatron in the movie is like a cornflower
blue! How hard is it for them to do that? They could have just used the
Kingdom Cyclonus plastic and it would have been more accurate than this!

I'm never gonna have a modern Galvatron and everyone else has four.
