    Hopefully, v2 will have a better paint job on the face...

    I'd love to see a Paradron Medic/Lifeline repaint from this.

    It would be nice to see at least one picture with the backpack still in place.

    Can the backpack remain on or is this just a shellformer?

    Wahahahaa.... this thing just ends up looking worse and worse.

    They'd do themselves a favor by not releasing any more pictures. Think they're just hurting themselves now.

    Let people buy it and be shocked in person how ugly it is.

    Yes it can, there are new pics up at Daim Choc's facebook with it in place. Also given that the pin hole and screw holes are still present, I don't think it is meant to be removed in the first place.

    Ankle Tilts (mostly) and better hands would have been nice. Anyways, hopefully priced good, and i can have this and wait for FT Arcee. It is fortunate i have the hasbro version, so different paint apps than this OS KO.

    Not heinous by any means but lacking... I expect a lot more from Weijiang. Depending on how she scales and price I may jump on her. That's what he said.

    I liked V1's paint job better, less work to fix. This one will require me sanding or painting the hips white, and scraping white paint and faction symbols off the hood and painting the rear bumper the right color.
    I hope they offer both. It's a lot more work to fix.
    This one's backpack also doesn't look removable.
    I want movie accurate colors, not random choices.

    I can see what you mean, and hopefully there will be another version for you.

    But in my case, it's the reverse, less (or no) work to do now. The hips i dont have to paint now (was going to try to simulate the Hasbro colors), as all white, although toon accurate, the mold is just too big, and having color separation really helps. The autobot symbols are perfect for me, as i dont care about alt mode as much having two stickers near each other (i would have added one myself anyways), and care for bot mode much more.

    That said, the pink looks a bit too rich, both on the body, and especially on the face.

    This is quite in keeping with their normal fair like the overscale RID stuff or the Oversize TFC Throttlebots. heck she's partly metal so she has one up on the throttlebots.

    Bare in mind this is a KO - think what KO used to mean and compare it to this - then still tell me this is a poor product. Besides it's likely going to be way under $20.00 shipped so what is to complain about.

    Definitely not saying it's a poor product. Don't have it in hand nor any reviews to base such a statement on. But an example of what I am referring to is the fact that they added metal to improve, so if you're going to upscale and tweak to improve, then how could they not alter the hands so that she could hold a gun, like.. a gun. Not like this. Especially upscaled this will just look silly. Again, not heinous but I just expect more from Weijiang is all. If she is indeed under $20 I'll doubtless buy her but this will surely not be standing on my MP shelf. [​IMG]
