    Yeah, this was my thought. As cool as these wings look, unless they come with a display stand that can accommodate them, there's no point getting them.

    And as someone else said, if they can find a way to get LEDs in there.....whoo mama. Yes please.

    Imagine if this is just the beginning of a fully upscaled version?

    I’m not sure that would be the case here, as the 4th party larger ring fits Studio Cell’s planet mode. Would be interesting though.

    Looks great but might be a little TOO big. Shrink them about 10-15% and both modes would look better to me. Will buy either way.

    Honestly the bigger wings look pretty silly to me. They are way too long and spindly, as well as high up.

    Looks about right to me for planet mode, but I think I would stick with the original set for bot mode.

    For the planet mode yes please, but robot mode the ones that come with it look better. Still if they include a stand to accommodate it and it's not too expensive I'm in. Lights would obviously be the icing on he cake.

    Looking at some old pics of Unicron his wings usually went down past his knees so these 4th party ones which I hope are of good quality if they make it to production look right to me in robot and planet mode. Sign me up for some!

    It needs a hinge or 2 further down to avoid those straight lines towards the bottom ends on the 2 outer spines of the wings. Without that, it clashes with the curvature of the middle one and makes it look much worse than it could.
    Also, posing it to point all the wings more to the back at the bottom would help.

    Do we have any more evidence that the larger wings/ring is an actual thing being produced by a 4th party and not a custom project? I watched Mangmotion's stop motion video posted on the last page and they are clearly using the enlarged wings/rings.

    That said I REALLY hope this is made a reality, because the larger ring look amazing in planet mode.

    According to the China livestreamer 少主狸, the product still in production stage.

    Ya, k, add some more hinges to the ends of the wings already to improve bot mode appearance. Spend more time on product improvement and less on fancy marketing. The latter does not compensate for the former as much as you'd like to think it does. No buy from me yet.

    Too jaded man... probably not going to get me to buy whatever they’re selling.

    But that was an awesome vid!
