    Wow beautiful! I'm super excited for this one! I can't wait to have the original five bots in MPM form.
    Cross your fingers for 2020 my friend! And Starscream, hopefully.

    So so so glad this turned out well after Ironhide. Can’t wait to get mine in August. I’ll probably end up adding some small spots of silver with a sharpie to bring out the sculpt, but it’s great as is

    That turned out to be fake, the image was photoshopped and WJ never confirmed it afaik

    it was apparently just a sketch by black apple. If you go on his weibo. You can probably find it there. Ba never confirmed it, he just does sketches for fun I think

    Yeah I’m pretty sure the OSKO was debunked sadly. Though it’d be nice if it was upscaled to fit with BA Optimus Prime

    All i want is some 3p to make a better chain, a transformable new head that hides the extra panels on the side of the head as well as better painted and last but not least a piece that allows the cannon to be plugged onto the arm without removing the hand

    Anyone else thinking of painting the eyelids silver? Not sure I’m liking the gold.
    The figure still looks so damn good. Truly a grail piece for me

    The gold has come up as an issue for a lot of people (and the little bit of red visible in bot mode). Personally it doesn’t really bug me, as he did have copper/gold in some areas, and in such a complex design accuracy becomes less easy to notice for me, but it’d be really easy to fix if you so desired.

    The amount of gold on his face felt wrong to me at first, but his face is in fact, gold (except for his upper lip). It's more subtle, though.

    An ink wash might work for those who don't like the gold. It does look great in person, honestly.

    Wasn't too sure if the HA needed replacing but after these pics the answer is an affirmative "YUS"

    Dang Jazz looks snazzy.

    Then I look back at my available hobby fund and realize that I want to by the new BA Optimus for science, and if I wanna buy Jazz I might end up buying something in the Decepticon side to balance things out...
