It's worth it at $40.

 

After I got my 2nd Sky Guardian, I realised I should have used something like RC plastic gear lube, for the tight transformation hinges right above the elbows.

Overal, I'm still happy with Sky Guardian, especially with my own shapeways upgrades to fill out the thigh legs. I've been a bit too lazy to paint my most recent own shapeways headsculpt for this guy,
but when I receive some other shapeways stuff soon I will finally get to it. He simply fits nicely along my TR Takara Super Ginrai, TR Sixshot and Takara overlord in January.

That X2-toys Skyfire looks like it'll be a pretty good toy, but I really don't dig the style and especially those arms just sitting aside the jet fuselage ; in that sense, it's sort of like a Hasbro 2006/2007 Jetfire revival.

 

I really like mine, even though I know I shouldn't.

 

You know, I do too. Even with Phoenix looming over him on the shelf (and in every other respect) I still have room in my heart for Sky Guardian.
But then I'm the guy who will focus on tossing bread to the ugliest, most scraggly looking duck in the pond so I probably have some kind of complex. :3

 

Not for me but hey, if you guys like it then it's good for you. I'm sure my wife says the same about me!

 

She does.  

 

Hahahaha, I walked right into that one!

 

U sir have the heart of gold...would u consider adopting deformed strays?

 

anyone looking to unload theirs? I want it for the backpack nothing else  

 

Ooof, that face. Makes Kronos look like a pageant queen.

I'm currently marvelling at Phoenix's face sculpt, so looking at this poor fellow just hurts.

 

Sorry guys, but where can i buy this beautiful version of Skyfire ? Thanks in advance

 

I paid 35 shipped for him.
Isn't bad.
Had to unscrew and move stuff right out the box.
Where can I find instructions to transform him.

 

Ebay.
