The original should def take priority. I would want at least 3 years of figures from the Classic line before I would even contemplate purchasing the reboot remakes.
However, having said this, the 2011 TC would certainly make for some attractive figures. Bandai’s efforts were subpar as most of their TC figures looked like they came from Happy Meals or those cereal inserts. Bandai did make an excellent Lion-O for their Classic line, sans skin-colored ankle pegs and non-matte finish.
