    It would have been nice if they would have bumped him up in size a bit for this release. Still a good looking figure

    This was the perfect mold, its fantastic mold wise and is 100 percent what I and my kids want when I am buying toys for them, as they want cartoon accurate toys .

    Had they added his double barreled pistol, Master Sword and a Cog mini figure, I would have considered this a worthy successor. As it stands as a shiny repaint, nah, I'll pass. I already have the Toyworld release.

    Yeah that's the Grand Maximus colors version. I was asking about Brave Max from Car Robots :) 

    These colors:

    The thing I never liked about Fort Max is that his transformation is so simple. And each toy maker does it the same way. I would love to see a designer do something else with the base and fort transformation.

    It is a shame there is no correctly-scaled Scorponok to go up against him. He seems to be a really nice figure but I just cannot figure out the color choices to save my life. They are infuriating and make it look like a weird mirrorverse knock off of some kind. 

    The price is awesome, though.

    Upscaling this mold would had required a significant money investment from Zeta, which runs counter to this simply being a quick cash grab. They can still change the color of those clear parts though.

    So...

    What size class is he, roughly?

    Voyager or Leader?

    Maybe even Commander?

    Based on his height he’d be about Leader class.

    I don't know if it is worth this much, but Shapeways does have a sword for Infinitor if anyone is interested (I've never bought anything on Shapeways so my knowledge here is limited)

    M Sword (Infinitor) by BigHache on Shapeways

    Everyone is saying 23cm, just shorter than MP-10 and pre-Siege Leader Class figures.

    He's an ok figure but because of his size, he doesn't fit in most collections unless you are going for the Marvel version of him

    Not too certain about the metallic paintjob. Maybe it's the photos...hmmm...

    So do you happen to know the plastic quality of this. I might want to buy this cause how cheap it is and how nice it is for the price. Also I need a fort max in my collection
