#43: More info on that universe 2.0/CHUG 3-pack, comments on Generations Terradive and Axor and electrostatic Jolt

so before i begin CHUG, for the uninitiated stands for "Classics, Henkei, Universe Generations", that is any figures from those lines.

Lets tackle the target exclusive CHUG 3 pack link first. THis is just further images of each figure in the set in their new colors, which make them more accurate to their incarnations in the 1986 season 3 cartoon. I'm fine wiht this, but i've actually kind of cooled ff on the classics hot rod colors. Theyre nto bad, but i have to original and he's a bit better, and i dont care thta he is accurate to 25 years ago. suprisingly, the Galvatron scheme has grown on me. HE's veyr bland in alt mde, but thats what gundam markers are for, plus, lets hope hes not as bad as the orignal version was. Cyclonus i just love. I might get this pack, we;ll see.

As far as figures i know i'm getting go, lets talk about that second link. images of generations terradive. Love the look of him to say the least love the feautre poitned out on the trident that if you press the middle tab it acts as if its grabbing something.I'm honestly probably just gonna pose this guy holding his tirdent straight up next to him looking all badass. Cause he is. seems more orangey-yelow but i dont mind.

Lastly, lets talk HFTD Axor and Jolt. The GP (gold plastic) on Jolt's arms, legs and behind his head had me really worried, but this coloration still midly redeems this robot jesus of a figure for me. His orginal color scheme, wiht the baby blue was godawful. Though, i'm not feeling the "frosted crest". Another figure that has suprisignly grown on me is that Axor figure, who is apparently and homage to an action master of the same name. HE doesnt look too shabby, but the whitness on his legs and the monotone-ness of his alt mode scream for gundam marker help.
