    The reprolabels stickers look pretty nice, although I prefer the clean toon look so I wouldn't be using them. Those claws look terrible though.

    Somehow completely missed this guy until yesterday! Ordered him up straight away from Kapow and he arrived today.

    Instantly one of my favourite 3P figures. The quality, finish and transformation are all stunning. Love the 'heft' from the die cast too. An instant hit :) 

    Just waiting for Willis to arrive now and someone to make a 3P cage & Schlüssel.

    Has this guy been discounted anywhere yet? I'm thinking of picking one up.

    The eBay sellers often bump it up to around $65-$70 and then discount it back closer to $55-60. That's about all I've seen outside of retailers. It's a popular figure and $50 is a pretty solid price for it.

    The blue on Catcall is looking a bit better

    They should just repaint him in gold (or orange & yellow) for Steeljaw. I'd be more than happy with that.

    Stripes would be the more logical third repaint of the mold.

    I'm more interested to see what new figures they do at this cassette scale than just repaints

    I may get this IF I can find it for less than $60 shipped. I just don't feel that the current price is worth it.

    I see it in person all the time and it just doesn't look great to me. Worse than it looks in pictures. Definitely not worth more than $15 to me.

    Just bit the bullet on this. Ive been holding out for a sale as well, but my vendor of choice is out of stock and I hate paying shipping if I can avoid it. So w the rumors of MP Mirage being a licensing issue and the fact the Sphinx is drying up, I decided to place an order thru a different vendor (one Ive used many times without incident) and get Sphinx, Jaguar, and preordered those KFC Cubes too.

    Ill get him when the cubes show up, but Im pretty excited to get this figure. If I like him enough, Ill get the the rest of this Remix Line as well (barring unnecessary repaints).

    These are some of those pictures I was talking about. Looking fantastic. Unfortunately, the figure in hand seems lackluster to me.

    Ordered this and so excited.....but I think it was a scammer China seller. They have disappeared. Have to wait until after the expected delivery to get a refund from eBay. Can PayPal refund sooner?

    The only thing keeping me from ordering this is that I already have all the cassette bots for KFC blaster and Soundwave. And it's not 100% they will make tapes to go with Blaster

    Reprolabels should have made a silver sticker with con symbol to put on the shoulders that replicates the cartoon look

    I transformed mine back to tape mode for the first time since i got him months ago and was reminded what wonderfully clever engineering it has. Between the awesome transformation, the perfect aesthetic and the totally lavish in-hand feel this thing has I fell in love all over again. It's just too bad Ravage
    recently died in the comics.

    Am I the only one who hears Ravage's growl looking at these pics?

    The top photogs all post-process their images heavily so you will often find the figure in-hand will never look quite as good. Go into it with that understanding and it'll be fine. It's still the best Ravage we have and scales with MP Soundwave quite nicely.
