    True, but it was a clear homage Spock beard and all. If they stop making SG after this and you never get SG Rodimus, just pop on a few evil Autobot logos from Toyhax onto the PotP and you're good to go.

    Would have appreciated a little remolding for the price point.

    Pre-ordered. If I had been able to grab a Siege Jetfire when he was available (and re-available) at retail, I'd have passed on SG Jetfire. And since I can't pick up a mint Siege Jetfire anywhere now for $97.97 ($91.99 + $5.98 tax) or less, this seems ideal. Will probably part with the comic and blast effects.

    Only thing to do now is wait for up a color-matched 3P laser sword and antenna, and see what extra labels Toyhax cooks up.

    Edit: And dig through the TFWiki for a list of affordable figures on eBay that I can transplant the rubsigns from. Huh, Toyhax has rubsigns. Cool.

    Said what the hell and pre-ordered it. Can always change my mind between now and January. May have to start a Jetfire/Skyfire shelf; getting enough of them to warrant a dedicated space.

    Well, that was painless. Considering I think I paid seventeen bucks for the first version at WalMart, I think I am still ahead with this ten dollar mark-up.

    I keep hoping nonnef makes a sword for Jetfire. Maybe this convinces him before I look elsewhere!

    Yeah, people can ignore the faction swapping if they want, I'm just sharing my own interpretation since people are discussing the implications. Hell, people can ignore all the previously established cannon if they want to for the sake of their own collection's narrative.

    Like you said, it really isn't an issue and can easily be ignored.

    I do miss the champagne colored face the original had. Might have been an artifact of the silver paint on the clear green parts, but it came off that way in person.

    I do like the bright green on the armor of the new one.

    I have absolutely no interest in this but I've bought all the other Shattered Glass figures so far and now I'm feeling completionist on the subline. So they got me. I do think these will all look pretty cool on the shelf together when they all come out.

    That, my friend, is an incredibly easy fix.

    Shattered Glass isn't the place for that, unless you want to give me some examples. Shattered Glass is for existing characters given the Shattered Glass concept treatment. Nothing more.

    Neither have I. Still hoping though, cause he's got the best stuff. Once he gets the Van bros stuff finished I'm ordering most of those parts and I need some 5mm peg 90s for a MTMTE/Siege Crankcase from a Refraktor with a Shapeways head that I'm mostly finished with. I wanna get all the parts with one shipping fee cause I'm cheap! :)

    Exactly how tall is this guy?
    I mean, I ordered him regardless because I'm a fan of SG.

    Now, if only HasTak would release SG for Sideswipe, CJ, Jazz, Soundwave and WJ.
