Hey All,
What do you guys think? Besides the cool chrome paints and better G1 colorways, is it worth forkin' out the dough to get them Henkei?
What does Henkei mean anyways?

Imo henkei's voyager paint apps(g1 version) is better than hasbro especially megatron. If you already have a hasbro version, i dont think you need to buy the henkei version. unless your like me. i bought the henkei for the sake of having an misb mold of that prime.hehe. But if you dont have a voyager set yet, o recommend the henkei because it is cheaper than hasbro.1450 each for henkei megatron and convoy while hasbro op and megs ranges from 1700 to 2500.
Regarding the deluxes, i prefer the hasbro version because i think the random chrome apps of henkei deluxes seems to be off.

The Henkei repaints are worth it if you don't have the Hasbro versions yet... Otherwise, its just the same toy with a different paint job...

here's a comparison sample between hasbro and henkei versions: ooebihara.sakura.ne.jp/toys/TF/Henkei/C01/C01.htmfor some odd reason, after seeing the comparision the hasbro version gives me a "bootleg" feel... thats why i intend to have my hasbro repainted to the same accurate colors as the henkei.

V2, i know what you mean about the bootleg feel. I think its how the plastic is used in the Henkei ver.
Dude give me pointers about repainting the hasbros. Are you gonna use Tamiya spray paints?
For prime could be hard to repaint the truck cabin, you need to waste the rub autobot sticker, hehe

Newest Henkei is Jetfire/Skyfire, BBTS has a pre-order!
I think Henkei means "Crap! I should have waited for the cooler Takara versions!" in Japanese ;D

he told me that he's painted his classics prime and he'll give me pics of it so i can have an idea how good it'll look like repainted.

Agesthreeandup of the TFW2005 boards has mentioned that Henkei C-07 and C-08 are Sunstreaker and Prowl of Universe 2.0.

Nice pics Gold! Looking at the pics, my hasbro prime needs a big paint job Painting Prime's blue hands can be tricky though.

Thanks Simpleshoes. Whoa, good to hear there will be Henkei versions of Prowl and Sunstreaker so soon. I was worried that we would buy the Hasbro version Classics and later regret getting them because of the better painted Japanese version. Thanks Protoform Gold

Henkei means new beginning or new start. Its worth it if you do not have the Hasbro versions. I sold my Hasbro Classics Megatron so I will not have two Megatron because I really wanted the Henkei Megatron over it. I'll just wait for the Henkei Classics Sunstreaker and Prowl and pass on the other Hasbro version of the Classics/Universe line.
