    Those wings are fucking hideous, a shame cause the rest of it looks amazing.

    I know, but responding to hyperbole as though it were serious is fun for me.

    As a Star Saber fan, count me in. I love this and don't care if it doesn't transform. That's why I have the other Star Saber figures for.

    I can almost see how this could be an awesome retool of Cybertron Starscream!

    That looks so sick. I want to have one.

    On the other hand it would look out of place with my Reformatted bots so MMC better announce yours soon. :D

    Don't hate on Gundam designs, lol. I have quite a few Gundam kits and they're awesome.
    One of my favorite Transformers is Energon Mirage/Dreadwind. He just needs posable hands and he'll be perfect.
    The design of Star Saber here is amazing. I'm very tempted to get this figure.

    Yuusha granddaddy.......

    To be honest, non-transforming figs of robot designs that I love appeal to me more as a chogokin collector.

    Even star saber himself attracts a lot of "he looks like a gundam" comments from people who haven't seen any other 70's super robot and don't know that the guy who designed the original rx78 -2 designed star saber.

    I've always wished we'd had a decent line of non-transforming Transformers action figures. The main toys have their place, but I'd like something that doesn't sacrifice aesthetics and poseability for the transformation feature.

    I like this version of Star Saber better than the original. Of course, I like Gundam, too. I used to wish Bandai and Takara would get together and give us a Gundam style Transformers model kit line. Unlikelier things have happened - I think.

    I understand, it's just unfortunate that regardless, star saber will always attract the "that's a gundam" kind of stuff :/
