    Both of the stealth versions are pretty cool but I do wish they'd have done an all clear version.

    Would you consider this the best mirage?

    I consider it the best Crasher. Love the colors on that

    According to tf direct this is going to be reissued in may.
    It's a bit weird. They should have done it before MMC announced the new version of Sphinx..

    Would only make sense of they reissue with a new head.

    ShowZ has had a pre-order up for a bit too. Not really sure why - I didn't think there was huge demand, and Sphinx seems to be the winner hands-down. I just wish they'd do a reissue of the original version.

    Maybe if DX9 reissued their Crasher instead, I'd be more interested.

    If it has a new head sculpt I'll bite. Like that chrome.

    It's a very nice toy that I sold when I got Sphinx but kind of regret letting go of now. Tempted to re-buy him.

    So I've had the dark blue "clear" version for a while. Outside of him being TOO dark, I rather liked him. Then I found the regular version for $50 shipped, and like him too.
    I'm not a custom master in any way (tho decent), but the Dr. Frank in me is considering taking both a part, and reassembling a "vanishing" Mirage
    (similar to the custom, then, show exclusive Sphinx).
    Has anyone tried this with DX9's Invisible?
    Were there a lot of pins? Or can I unscrew/screw, and pop pieces together easily???

    I'm not sure why DX9 is reissuing Invisible. It was one of the first 3P figures I picked up and while it's not a crappy figure - IMO, it is horribly outdated and for an MP display, Sphinx decimates it. For a chug display it might be OK, even if it's still kind of outdated now.

    Like others have mentioned, I don't think there is much demand as you could get him 2nd hand pretty easily for $50ish give or take $10.

    I've not unboxed mine yet, but the joints are supposed to be very tight

    The rear wheels can be tricky to pop in and out of place between modes. It’s not difficult, just a little different than you might expect. They kind of slide at an angle rather than straight in and out. It’s a bit hard to explain. Not sure why they are designed that way. Despite that this is still my favorite Mirage so far.

    got this guy in to go with my ghostbusters crossover stuff and the joints are definitely tight and the rear wheels are very odd but i think ive got them figured out. as a bummer though his left hand was broken when i pulled him out of the box. contacted the seller (johonsontony) to see if i could get a replacement hand, definitely a bummer. other thant that hes a pretty good figure, though one trick i did find is to mistransform the wheels slightly (dont rotate them all the way up) and they can be used as heel spurs to help with balance
