    If they're 12cm then thats equal to megatron and prime. It may be a tad large, but it can work.

    I think they will be just like the product shot next to Megatron, bigger then MST Soundwave and MFT Seekers.
    3cm difference between this and NA is much.
    I like the canopy in alt mode, looks like someone is sitting in it for bot mode a solid look like they showed first would have been better but I am used to it anyway with the MFT versions.

    Prime and Megatron are 12,5 and 12,6 cm, I deleted the pic but I already showed Megatron before with a ruler.

    well @ManelFigures says Jinbao Megatron is 12.6cm and these will surely be shorter. In the second photo, Magic Square on the left is 11.5 so it's impossible for Jinbao to be 11. Based on the recent photo beside original Newage, I'd say 12.0cm is a good estimate.

    Well the truth is that assuming from what I have seen is that it is 12 cm, well I know that Megatron is 12.6 and the seekers reach the eye, and I have verified that, because I have an Optimus Hot Soldiers that it's 12.5 cm, and a 12-inch blaster, and it hits his eyes, so I can tell it's 12 cm the seekers

    If you sell your IF seekers you'll have funds for Newage seekers

    Look at the gap between the top of Jinbao Scream’s hips and torso. I don’t think they have the ab crunch fully clicked in. I’ve accidentally done that to the NA version and it makes him look taller than he is.

    Either way I ordered from a seller on AliExpress and got a shipping notice yesterday. I’ll be painting the canopy. I wish they had not changed that detail.

    I am sure someone will be able to confirm the height before I get mine, but if not my shipment arrived in US customs this morning so I should have them in about 7 days or so and I will post my measurements. I assume you are measuring from the floor to the highest point of the figure or from the floor to the top of the head?

    you could do that or just post a pic with an MS bot like prime, s-dub or megs and we can figure out the rest. if you dont have those NA megs works and or any other bot you have on hand.
