    The above photo is of an older test shot, not the final colors (kinda wish byrin hadn't posted it it... >_> cause you know, confusion n all that). But yes he's going to be very vibrant. I forget if that version had brighter red or not, I think we toned it down a smidge from that.

    the final i saw is toned down a notch, although that might be due to instagram filtering.

    to be clear, the solicitation shots were basically my pictures of a test shot that i heavily edited to represent the altered deco that i had received at that time. so there's going to be some changes in the final product. safe to say any newer pics you see will be more representative of the final than the solicitation pics

    Boreas was released this week. Peaughs, Paiks and my copy are all retail production copies. And Kojin is currently being manufactured, he was actually finished a while ago they just needed the funds to get the final production to happen.

    Yeah, like cyclonus wasn't even in the original list of preorders, yet they release him before turban and Oberon and megaton...

    No matter, I still debating original colors or lost light. Kinda hard to choose actually.

    FYI, Pic shows there really isn't anything new being revealed by MMC this weekend (blurry, but you can tell what's there.)

    Only unreleased figures there are the bugs, the birds, and the copters. And Calidus.

    From Omega Man

    Hm, really hoping he's not as red as in @Bianyaqi his picture. Really not a shade I like.

    Like the colours of the sample in this group picture posted some time ago a lot better.
