    Well if Fanshobby does one, and ends been the awesomesauce that was DoubleEvil, ill squeel like a little girl.

    Not that I am unhappy with anything XTB that I own, but that Overlord from FH was on another level.

    I think the overall problem is that this guy is meant to scale with MP-24, who in my opinion, works much better as a chug scaled Star Saber than an MP one. Of the 3 hights you showed off, I personally like the alleged one the best and without Simba, he is a head taller than MP-24, which is similar to how most Autobot and Decepticon leaders stack up next to each other.

    I Wouldn't be in for a Fanshobby on as they like to stylize theirs and I want this one to go with my very toon accurate MP-24.

    Is that confirmed though? I mean both FT and Giga didnt stick to Grimlocks scale and they made their own offerings.

    OFC you will tell me that Simba is designed to merge with that Starsaber but.....who knows if they redisign them all down the line?

    What are you talking about? This was all just me freeballing some ideas. Simba has been out for years. I'm just saying MP-24 is a bit short for an MP scale.

    I agree. But XTB might think making it bigger can charge more.

    Agreed. Zyros said it was as tall as Victory Saber at about 15.4in. That may have changed with the design of King Raijin at about 17 inches. Victory Saber/Deathsaurus/God Ginrai/Overlord leaders should all be around the same height IMHO that is slightly shorter than the Gestalts (Liokaiser, Dinoking, Landcross, Road Caesar, Piranacon, Raiden) from those later series that should be at 20 inches like Zeta's scale. Galaxy Shuttle should also be at that height. Road Caesar appeared to be the same height as Victory Saber but I give that less credence in that it fought other combiners. I think scale in Victory was all screwed up so I would rather it stay consistent with the earlier bots and just have the leaders slightly larger.

    I am ok with the Takara's scale, all G1 japanese bots "should be scaled" with MP Star Saber size in mind.

    No way Road Caesar is a full size combiner, he is the same size as Star Saber.

    I think the problem is that star saber has also fought gestalts on his ownas a result, theoretically star saber and dezaras should be gestalt scale. But thats nigh impossible with the current 21 in gestalts. See the dilemma :confused:

    Make a really huge one? God no, I can't imagine those prices, especially with dezaras and victory leo and overlord and God ginrai, considering they are mostly the same size:confused:  I think the best solution would be to downsize liokaiser and road ceasar to 18. It aint perfect, but you're more likely to put them on a jp shelf rather than g1

    Yes Star Saber is huge but I think he is smaller than Liokazer. I believe he had a hard time fighting Liokazer at that time.

    I absolutely lost my shit at this announcement - I'll definitely be ordering him as soon as preorders go up. Now, just to wait on them to announce a Star Saber...

    X-Transbots, man. I like the style of their Deathsaurus here, and would love to see their try at a Star Saber. I've owned every offering of Star Saber aside from Kadmos, and been disappointed by all of them. I find XTB to be the most playable 3P and think they'd do a great job with my main TF Dad Star Saber.

    Hmmm I don't know, they already released KFC Simba to go with the official MP Star Saber and also an upgrade kit for him, I doubt they will make their own.

    I think they could build it with compatibility with Simba in mind, but I personally wouldn't count the upgraded joint kit from a few years ago as counting against them making a new SS. Only time will tell, but I'd certainly be stoked about it.
