The Unicron figure looks pretty sweet. It may be one of the few Transformers figures I end up getting.

I really don't like the pastel color scheme and too much clear plastic = gimmicky light up function that would lower the price if not include and were painted properly.

but what the hell , it's FRIGGIN UNICRON. EVERY transfan worth thier weight in energon is gonna get one, no matter what the price.
