Courtesy of 2005 Boards member Pixelmaster, Hobbybase and Hung Hing Toys 鴻興玩具 on Facebook we can share for you our first in-hand images of the new Beast Wars BWVS-01 Eternal Beast Showdown Optimus Primal vs Megatron 2-Pack.
This 2-pack contains premium repaints of Kingdom Optimus Primal and Megatron now in cartoon-accurate colors and details. We also have a look at the packaging including the retro style sleeve of the box.
See the images after the break and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

How much we talkin?

I’ll take Megatron. Pretty satisfied with my Toyhax Primal.

I just couldn't sit with that Kingdom Rhinox mold…Even from day one till now.
And Scorponok doesn't warrant the purchase by himself…I'll make do with the Kingdom version.
Now if TakaTom re-released that T30/LG-EX mold instead then I would have persuaded myself to give these a go.
But for the rest of you boys whom liked these enough than more power to you all.
Inferno
Can triple confirm that the hips are painted:

Also can double confirm that the front of the hips is white plastic

No more scratching the white then repainting then scratching and repainting adding countless white layers that get sticky after 3 years lol
Straight up the only reason why I got this, I hated messing with Primal once this started happening and why even have a figure that I dreaded touching?
Anyways, anyone wants the Megatron?
SPLIT LIP
I know, it’s a very weird choice. He’s not even the correct shade of brown, even ignoring the metallic finish.
Only that one really exclusive version of the T30 Voyager got his hide tone correct.
Wreckneck
To be honest, the only one whose deco I even like is Primal's. Everyone else just looks wrong or overly painted. Hell, I think Rhinox and Scorpinok are inaccurate to what the show made them look like. If anything, the Kingdom figures were more accurate to the OG carton color-wise.
Oniconvoy
Only one I’m looking forward to is Tigatron, in the hope that he won’t immediately yellow.
IgnikaMarcus
Meanwhile I'm of the opposite stance.
These are making me like the originals even more.
Especially Rhinox. Why does Takara insist on making him copper when he should just be brown?
They even did it with the T30 toy.
This isn't the Armada Transmetal, Takara.

I want ‘em all, but you can’t give away those originals.

They look even better in hand. I'm glad I have them all on preorder

Got my notice that this is in-stock (in my POL) at BBTS.
I'm very excited to experience these molds in hand!
@Rotorstorm, thanks for posting the pics a week back — its helped to tide me over! They look gorgeous.
I'm most excited about the toys, the packaging has got me really psyched as well!
Rotorstorm
Cool, it's hopefully a good choice since they don't actually make contact with the bits in front of them
Just checked, the hips are indeed painted
Phamduc
red paint on grey plastic
Rotorstorm
I want to say they're plastic but haven't properly examined them to see, I'll check when I get home from work
lord ginrai
Pretty sure @Pixelmaster, who’s had them in hand for a while, confirmed they’re painted. @Rotorstorm what say you?
