    I almost forgot there was an actual prototype of this shown.

    Will probably be my only figure from this company until GCreations or MMC can make a Transformable one. Not really into non-transforming figures. But this guy oozes IDW and seems big. I like it.

    Kind of stinks that this may be the only other Star Saber figure coming out soon other than perhaps a 3rd party that I don't know. I like the design from the comics, but I can't really seeing myself buying it if it comes down to $300+. The quality and pose-ability BETTER justify the price; give him pose-able eyes with lights or something.

    Worth. Every. Penny.

    Time to sell some of my Iron Factory figures. Crazy to think with the price of 5-6 Iron Factory figures, I can buy a high-quality figure like this.

    What I may not be getting is whether or not Star Saber and the others count as official. This means Hasbro recognizes the characters from the comics (Star Saber is based on his comic look, but it looks like he's got a Masterforce head as an extra) and is getting someone to do official toys of them. Does this mean we may get a new line of figures with Tarn and Saber part of the new line?

    Yes, they're official 3rd party products. Hasbro owns all of the IDW comic designs and characters. These figures also have no baring on what plans Hasbro has for toys.

    ... thank Primus. I'm quite happy with the largely IDW influence-free figures we're getting.

    So if Tarn is coming out supposedly in October, is there a solid confirmation when Star Saber comes out?

    Hmmm.. Why does this give me a Wing Gundam Custom Feel...?? It is a nice design. The original Star Saber for me, feels like if the Albion spaceship became a transformer, from Gundam Star Dust Memories, my absolute favorite Series ever in Gundam terms. That's why I love the original the best. It's just like Classic Prime. You know it when you see it. having been a fan of the subbed series for a long time, I have often wondered if they cleaned up the series, digitally remastered it with top talent voice overs, and released it on Adult Swim, and Netflix, It would spur more interest in 3P production of Transformers Victory, and hopefully later Zone. Still, this is a nice design, call me when they do a Victory Leo, and an upgrade combo pack for super mode, then maybe I will think about buying in.
