That said, this is a petition to kindly request Hasbro to consider: Making the perfect Transformer by remolding the tiny grey neck piece for the next batch of
Classics Mirage, a truly impressive TF. Running mold changes occur frequently and this is easily within the realm of the possible. Would dramatically improve this fantastic piece.
Simply read the below post and Post here in support if you agree.  |

Mirage is one of the best TFs ever.
1) Original transformation
2) Imaginitive style (great proportions for a look not done in previous TF toys!)
3) Unrivaled posability
4) Awesome look in both modes One tragic flaw: the small grey neck piece should have been a touch longer (and there's plenty of room in vehicle mode to accomodate it). If it were a millimeter longer:
1) Head could actually turn to the side without forcing the neck to angle forward/awry
2) Head would sit a millimeter higher, taking away some of the hunchback look.
3) The lightpiping eye effect would work much better given the increased neck clearance
All this, if only the tiny grey neck joint was remolded a millimeter longer. The figure would be perfected - and we would buy a second (and third) Mirage! 
Mirage: "Help! This forward crick in my neck is permanent!" |

OMG, he changed his signature for the first time in years. Miracles can happen.

But a mold change would be nice. I'm in. If Hasbro does it, I'll buy another and paint the first in Ferrari F1 colors.  |

So I'm not putting my name down for this. I'd rather see them take the money and produce that Classics Cosmos design, or even any other new mold in the Classics line for that matter. Peace out.
