    Took Victory Leo out of the box, attached all the „stuff“ and took a quick picture. This thing is insanely pointy. I think I need to buy new cotton gloves.

    Interestingly he has ratchets in his knees which is a first for the line. I couldn’t test articulation yet but because the joints are tight and he is meant to come apart I‘m worried that I might rub off some of the paint, especially with all the extra bits attached.

    Because he is the worlds most expensive Barbie dress he doesn’t have the cool engineering that the other figures in the line have to facilitate the articulation. The wings and the main guns have some moving and spring loaded pieces but nothing as cool as Drifts knees for example. All in all I don’t know if the juice is worth the squeeze so to speak.

    On the upside all the beautiful paint is present and he will look good next to the other K3 figures on a shelf. He is also surprisingly solid for an glorified accessory set but I wished he would transform more especially the big feet parts for Star Saber to maybe include a tail and fill out the back spine section.

    Thanks for the initial take on Victory Leo. May be awhile before my copy shows up. Don't plan on combining the two, so look forward to more photos of his lion mode.

    I'm just hoping he fits in a Detolf.

    I’m looking at the images of Black Victory Leo and Star Saber and noticed that the shade of purple used looks different than the one on the actual toy of Black Star Saber.

    Is that because it is difficult to create consistent pictures of purple things or will the bundle of the two come in a different color variant?

    It's most likely the photos. However, on their 3K Megatron they have lots of subtle shades of grey and black to keep things from being bland and a sea of the same colour. Maybe they're doing the same thing with their Black Leo and Saber?

    Take it both of you are in Asia? Probably will be months before I receive mine.

    I might get Victory Leo at 250 bucks. At 400? ROFL. Anyway, hopefully they'll ship SG OP next month as scheduled.

    Not the best photo, but I finished SG Drift. Great kit, think this is my best one in terms of not screwing up (but I did slightly, twice ^^’ ). I love that they painted the eyes purple right on the sprue; that made me so happy bc that one detail gives him so much life. Added a few of the stickers that I thought wouldn’t peel easily, but if they do then no harm. I also panel-lined him, but just with pencil so it’s subtle. Building this made me remember how much I miss the Generations figure though, so I might track that down again. Hopefully my improvement streak continues and I’ll build Rodimus even better, and then Windblade will be even better still.
