Moon Studios Dark Night (Transformers G1 Getsuei)

Getsuei

Vehicle Mode: In train mode Getsuei looks great. Not a bit of kibble on him. The molded detail is stunning, but there is something missing. The original toy failed to include pantographs on the roof. Those are the metal apparatus that would connect to the electric wires above the train to provide power. So not including them is toy accurate, but it always bothered me that the original toy didn’t have them. It would be like a car without the wheels. Though come to think of it, I think Hasbro’s done that too.

Robot Mode: In robot mode Getsuei has a great head sculpt. He really looks fantastic, but I wish he had a few more paint apps. He’s very blue.

Overall: Getsuei is absolutely gorgeous in both modes and, while a challenge to transform, is a lot easier to transform than the Masterpiece version. While Takara went for real world accuracy in vehicle mode, Moon Studios were more faithful to the toys and animation. I highly recommend him and prefer him to the Masterpiece version.
