    I don't have IDW figures, but I can take some pictures with Titan Returns and Masterpiece figures if it can help.

    Awesome thanks so much, I'm just trying to find which SS to put alongside my Transformers/Mecha collection, the Flame Toys or Planet X version. It's tough because Planet X is spot on, save for the head, but Flame Toys just looks amazing all around.

    Got mine from BBTS yesterday. Had a bit of an issue with the battery box in the leg as well, actually wound up pushing the terminal through the battery box with the batteries and had to fish it back through. That resolved, man he is a beauty

    Yeah about the only problem I had w mine was I had to pull the contact out a little in the legs (VERY carefully). Other than that he’s a fantastic figure indeed

    Almost forgot to share that the full article and gallery for the Flame Toys Kuro Kara Kuri 03 Star Saber is up on Kuma Style; See signature for link.

    [​IMG]

    Article breaks it down in full but overall this one got the big 10/10 because frankly it went above and beyond on all accounts. Someone can say things like they'd prefer it transform but that's a non factor because it's not meant to and the things that it was made to do it excels at. I don't think there will ever be a more "perfect" homage to the IDW version of Star Saber in my lifetime, even.

    Here are some pics from the gallery portion;

    He's such a great figure. So glad I got into this line.

    For real. I’m so happy to be in on them as well.
    I can’t imagine trying to play catch up at this point lol.
    Wish there were more groups over on FB for these non-transforming action figures

    So you can totally fit micro LED's into the non-D4toys saber head and make it light:

    Took some time again with Star Saber and I’m still extremely impressed! probably the best Flame Toys figure to date.

    Three questions I have and if you answer them i would be extremely grateful! 1. Star Saber's eyes painted when off or just clear blue plastic? 2. The dimensions/footprint of the black stand/base? 3. Does the standard version have batteries installed in the figure or packaged seperate?

    The eyes are painted over in a blue-ish silver colour, so they're not dead looking when the lights are off. The display stand is an 8" X 8" square. The batteries are packaged separately.

    My copy bought from Kapow Toys came with batteries preinstalled, so it might vary between retailers.
