    No, you just asked what more could be said, and I was recommending you make use of the ankle tilt for that pose.

    English is not my first language so maybe I wasn't clear enough. In a sense by saying this I was praising the figure.

    As for the ankle tilt you mean his right foot ? That was done on purpose to avoid the paint chipping

    Always been a fan of the brave band of rebels facing overwhelming odds (liked animated and prime for this). The difficulty is there are so few deceptions. So I rename/ repurpose some of the diaclone toys. I call that one "evil prowl" for lack of a better name.

    Your English is perfectly fine— I was just sarcastically pointing out that the figure had more ankle tilt than you were taking advantage of. I didn’t realize it was so delicate, but I don’t blame you for being careful with it.

    I love that particular figure— it’s one of my favorite MPs. I renamed him “Bluestrike”.

The way the wings all fold in and the ‘backpack’ are very clever indeed.

    Didn’t bother setting up my backdrop so the photo quality isn’t great, but I’m just enjoying these guys:

    Hadn’t seen anyone recreate the coronation scene yet; so I did a quick take at that.

    Even though screamer’s stand isn’t ideal; it still makes for some great posing options!

    Also, starscream’s jet thrust effects fit in FT-44 Astrotrain’s gun and this works as well:

    You can easily compensate the absence of waist swivel

    I do believe that this new Starscream is by far my favorite official MP of all time. The playability! The cartoon accuracy! It’s as tho I can hear him scheming in his display cabinet! Long live Screamer!!!!

    Yeah I’ve tried that… they don’t settle in too well.
