    The NA colour has grown on me since having it. So i don't think about it anymore. It is a kind of faded toon shade. When next to other bots it is nice. But it probably still could be better if i did think about it.

    NA design is cute, crazy transformation but cute style.

    The photos I’ve seen so far, MST looks like there’s more blue in the green than the cartoon green, NA looks like a lighter brighter green. I don’t dislike either green shade they’ve chosen so I think I could have lived with either one.

    Yeah, I was hoping MS Cosmos & MS Hoist would have arrived on same boat as IF Wheeljack.

    Edit: originally misidentified IF

    lol...patience and the legends game do not go well together.

    i get to the point where i just want to own everything that is out there as soon as it drops. the monthly releases kind of spoil us at times.

    MS Cosmos is so ridiculously big, I think I'm going to use him to replace T30/TR Cosmos in my CHUG S2 Minibot line-up:

    ... VS ...

    20190823_161451.jpg

    Alt Mode comparison:

    20190823_002943.jpg

    Thoughts?

    Here he is in a line-up of Cosmii:

    20190823_003104.jpg
    (L-R: Universe, NewAge, MS, Titans Return)

    He dwarfs NA Cosmos, who retains his rightful place as Cosmos in my Legends collection:

    20190823_003029.jpg

    In fact, he is so big and bulky that he even makes Magic Square's own Huffer look a bit puny by comparison:

    20190823_002904.jpg

    Overall a quality figure, but an awkward scale.

    Yup, same here - just the right size, and just the wrong colours. I see no particular reason for Cosmos to be as small as Bumblebee.

    yeah, i could overlook the shade of green if he was just yellow and not orange. but since he isnt im just like beggars cant be choosers.

    but given what has just happened with their mags recolor. i am hopeful someday a better yellow one will come out. i just dont want to wait a year for it.

    crosses fingers for IF to save the day.

    Your post made me watch his episodes and yeah I agree he's too big for MS. I guess he can be scaled to legends plus

    Don't worry about Magic Square being too tall or too short. Just buy all the Cosmoses and your life will be much better. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

    I’m torn. On the one hand, that seems way too short for a TED Talk. On the other hand, I can’t really disagree with anything that was said, particularly the second sentence.

    I just wish I had grabbed the set of the opposite-colored OSKO’s before they disappeared from our last KMart.

    (And I wish I had picked up a Collector’s Edition 84 before they reached astronomical prices on eBay.)

    He works well in hasbro legends minibots from your pictures, even stylistically. Shame he is replacing the hasbro cosmos cause that is such a well regarded figure... He matches up better than official cosmos tho.

    The thing with cosmos is he was depicted too very distinct sizes in the show. The very first episode he features in he is one size, i think big, near carbot. Think it is that episode with the alien race on another planet and their worshippers... Then the very next he is pictured much smaller. Like the animation team couldn't make up their mind what size they wanted him. This doesnt seem like standard frame to frame error either as his size is consistent throughout the episode. Think they settle on small..

    Well, at least there’s two size options. Hopefully between the two everyone can get one that suits their preference.

    There really is no final say in Sunbow scaling since it was all over the place.

    It will be my first Magic Square figure because its a minibot that's on the larger Legends scale. I think its going to sell pretty well for that reason alone.

    He's pretty good, a nice addition to the MS family.....

    However, I think I like the Newage Cosmos better scale and aesthetic wise. Too late though, I gave him to my youngest son who is amassing quite an impressive NA collection with Jazz, Smokescreen, Prowl, and now Cosmos......

    Wow, he looks too big even for MS. Too big for me at least. They made him huge for a minibot.
