    It's pretty good!

    Personally, I would have preferred some pictures of him in bot mode in a more neutral position. Figures that are posed with their pelvis tilted/"thrusted", or where the abdominal area is flexed, will appear taller and slimmer through the mid-abdomen and narrows his hip profile when compared to a neutral stance I find that I don't pose my figures that way, for the most part, as it doesn't look natural (and for the toon purists, it will be dissimilar to any toon pose Sunbow/AKOM/whomever had drawn into the series).

    The height seems right, maybe not that much smaller that Wardog, but definitely appears to be a lot slimmer. I'm wondering about the feet. They look like small skis on one side, like small boots on the other.

    Last time I was in HK, there was no where I found that sold 3P TFs, where do you go?

    Also, might not be the best time to visit HK...

    I said I would visit HK when these guys are available in stores. Otherwise how would I pick them up? I.e. it's next year.

    ActionRobo (a store inside a building called Bond's Mansion) and Inn's Point (a building that contains a number of stores selling all sorts of toys) are good places to go. There are other places you can visit, but the ones I have mentioned should be your first stops.

    You can't find cheap 3Ps in Japan. I mean, you'll be able to find some 3Ps (not cheap) in a Mandarake here and there like the one in Sapporo or Tokyo's Nakano Broadway. If you happen to be in Osaka, you might also be able to find some in a number of shops in Den Den Town, but again, lower your expectations quite a bit.

    I've been to Japan twice, and I am going again this October, never had a feeling that 3P + Transformers are particularly big over there. Gundam, Bandai stuff, etc are bigger.
    And the biggest of them all..... model trains. A small one might be 500K Yen. I laughed hysterically when I saw those prices for the first time.

    Also, before going to Hong Kong, you might want to contact RobotKingdom if you happen to find something you like. They might be willing to send it to the place you are staying. You'll have to arrange it with your hotel/host as well.

    I was not interested in this with the previous bright red metallic paint scheme, but now....I am in.
    Fans-Toys-FT-41-Sheridan-01 corrected color change.jpg

    Really matches this artwork.

    Same with Brawn. Paint scheme makes a huge difference. Probably getting this and Dunerider.

    On brawn, I preferred the more orange yellow and the darker helm colour. The green is better though on new.

    On warpath, they went back to original dark red colours which I am happy about too.

    what's still catching my eye is the 2 tone reds between the plastic and painted diecast but that could be the flash of the camera making it look worse than it would to the naked eye

    Yeah, every now and then we get lucky and certain character figure can work as either G1 Toon or Toy version. This looks to be one of those.
