I already received last Friday Leoric and it looks really good when I compare it to the original figure that was on a bigger scale.
I look forward to get a new Visionaries line after looking how good Leoric was finished.
Shepard Prime
As least he doesn't look like he has smelly hair…

Good!
I order a Takara one…

if I get this set a Jetfire will be up for sale.

F.Y.I. There appears to be a mismolded part (it's the version meant for the seekers) on the Jetfire that causes issues for alt mode (large gaps), thankfully it's a easy fix with a x-acto knife or sand paper.

Very nice.
I'm still trying to get it on ebay at a good price.

And it didn't cost an extra $100!!

I found the following article about the reason of Hasbro stopping Visionaries at that time:
"Sadly, the Visionaries only lasted a year. And it wasn't even poor sales that did it in. I learned some years later from a Hasbro executive at a G.I.Joe Convention what the real reason was for the cancellation of the line. It was those cool better-than-average holograms.
They were expensive to make, had to be outsourced, and had an unfortunate tendency to deteriorate over time. Some of my Visionaries have a few scratches on their holograms, and I certainly didn't put them there. The images are still there, and clear, but you can see these surface mars.
Visionaries was "on the fence". Sales weren't great, but they weren't bad. But the holograms were a significant factor, and ultimately, a fatal one".

Nope…
I will get Leoric from the Visionaries now and later when Hasbro release a bigger line I get it from there.
Rewind
Ugh…I passed up a few $30 Roms on Ebay a few days ago and now he's going for way more than that.
Did Hasbro ever indicate whether or not they plan to release a standard Rom figure outside of this box set?
RoadPigJohn
Agree!
Technology now is cheaper for different versions of Holograms…
