    That's much closer to what I was expecting the official product to look like. That looks much closer to the art that was shown.

    As for the purple and green. There was none on the back of the originals car mode. But from pics I've seen, there was a sticker for Counter Punch's shins that had purple and green on it. So I'm guessing that's why they chose to make the back end purple with green tail lights.

    the price isn't that bad considering its a limited exclusive with a new head... and granted, the head is a tad small... seems like someone made a decision to downsize the head just a bit instead of making it bigger... i wonder if it just wouldn't fit otherwise... Sideswipes head is smaller then Sunstreakers, and Sunstreakers had to have the fold away gimmick for his ears...

    I wish Pete would come drop a note here... maybe this isn't the final head and was an early test shot?

    all in all, this seems like something similar to Nightbeat... FP had a concept, then when they put it in production, something had to give... and I bet the only other option would been two heads that you'd have to swap, which would suck... or the elimination of one face and then having to spin the head around, which would suck as well...

    I regret buying two of this guy. The beetlejuice head looks ridiculous.
    Odd how they waited until the item sold out on pre-orders before showing the actual toy.

    Man the custom is definitely pure win. Heres to hoping the FP one can measure up once they are officialy finished and released, because the stolen pics doesn't look very impressive.

    Well, if regret buying two of them, you can always sell me the second one, since I missed out on the original pre-order.:)

    Seeing the custom, I want to say Jin Saotome (sp?), but I'm not a Radicon-type-person, so I don't really know. But yeah, the custom is much better.

    I would almost prefer a normal-sized head that has to pop off for transformation, rather than a too-small head.

    I still like it but the head should definitley be bigger. Sideswipe's head is bigger than that so it isn't really an issue of it fitting into the chest cavity. Maybe it would still look at bit small at the largest it could be that would still fit but these pictures are way smaller than necessary.

    Was this the head that we saw the white test shots of several months back? I thought that was the real head. It looked so good.

    So is the head mold forever damaged or was this just a test shot to see how it would turn out? Maybe this figure was a reject from the assemble line.

    Honestly, we are paying so much for this guy to being with. I would at the very least, expect them to correctly manufacture the new head.

    Missed out on the preorder. Don't feel so bad anymore. :) 

    The head size is mildly annoying but it's the sloppy paint that's bugging me more than anything.
