    Thanks, the knee and the foot are definite improvements. Booster kinda looks big but it’s difficult to tell from the original.

    Thank you. And Yes, the booster it's the worst part of the prototype.

    Pretty sure the boosters will be adjustable. Even now its hard to say what tweaks Ono"s team will make to this proto for the final version

    Ebay:
    Will he be $400-500?

    Will he have joint hardware that can support his own weight?

    Will he be free of cracks, assembly-issues and other QC problems?

    Man, anticipating official TT MP figures is so much fun nowadays.

    I'm gonna guess 350 usd and 299 on AJ, and that's being charitable.

    My only complain is there's nothing to complain so far.

    This update is typical plain Takara. It's just one blank surface. No greebles to break up the endless sea of smooth grey pixels.

    If Cliffjumper is at least colored testshots,
    Shouki is at least early testshots,
    Where exactly is Skyfire by this point? Finished and ready to announce? Could have been a heck of a Wonderfest.

    I believe Skyfire is important enough to be shown on the Wonderfest. Finger crossed. Never been that eager to see a figure

    They been missing in action for most of the online shows. They have enough on the table there could put together their own 10-15 min thing where they could do like Bandai.

    Strangely, there's still no preorder up on Amazon. They're usually the ones with an exact date. Other vendors typically just state 'end of the month'.
    I'd expect it to come out between the 27th and the 30th.
