Really? I think they both look nice.

Exactly. Your opinion was never in question. I was just being slightly critical of your opinion, and the weight that such a small detail seems to carry.

As for empty bombast, by that I simply meant that for all these declarations, I'll bet you will end up owning this anyway. A Countach TF this nice is not to be denied.

*I prefer Classics Sideswipe, I don't give a shit about light piping (not holding my TFs in the sunlight for just that perfect angle to pretend they're glowing,)
I actually hate light-piping, but at least decent light-piping allows some light to filter through normally. Instead, Classic Sideswipe just has these twin black holes in his face, which looks weird. I painted mine. Looks loads better.

I don't generally check out the back of his legs.
I actually find the legs on that figure pretty awkward-looking in general, otherwise the hollowness wouldn't bug me so much.

No, I agree. I think that looks way better. But it's not even the size of the lips (or their very presence) that bugs me, but just how soft and organic they look. I prefer a G1 TF's face to look a little more chiselled and geometric. I'm not crazy about the face, but I wouldn't consider it a deal-breaker.

Ouch. I hope that doesn't turn out to be the case.

I'm not familiar with mp-10 enough to know what ypu r referring to, but unless they raise his head off the top of his torso he can't look down.

Hence the nature of my reply + re-emphasis that it's not a "small detail" TO ME.

Really? I'll take that bet then. FYI - the F-15 is my favorite jet + Thundercracker is my favorite seeker, but the weirdness of the head/face details have thus far kept me from buying MP Thundercracker. So now that you have fair warning, as well as a previous example of an MP figure I would have wanted and didn't purchase, exactly how much money are you willing to lose?

Thank you (and also to all who commented on my face revamp.) I also agree - the G1 face is superior.
