    No one's going to remember this interview tomorrow because all anyone is talking about is the new pics.

    It did its job.

    You can see it on the back of VS's jet mode in the 360 spin!

    I hate this figure, to clarify I hate the character to begin with so I have a natural bias. I just dont really understand why they made this when the Masterpiece version has been out for years, I mean the Lion guy looks kind of cool but mehhh.....

    Hoping for a RID Prime next time.

    I'm a little bummed that the Brain of Courage isn't getting a painted face. I know it's small, but a splash of silver for the mouth wouldn't be too difficult, would it?

    Oh well. Thankfully, it's probably the least important piece, so I'm willing to let it slide, all things considered, since the rest is looking so good! I was mostly interested in the color's vibrancy. How bright the reds and yellows would be, and unless they change something between now and the final release, I'm liking it! They pop nicely and it's looking great!

    Now just have to wait if anyone will still pull the "there's 0 way this can be funded in time" bullshit argument.

    I couldn't afford the MP back then, and now for the price that was originally I can have both a Saber and a Victory Leo.

    Chris even said if they hit over 9k while on the stream he would say the line in Vegetas voice, im sure that helped the weebs and memelords jump on this.

    Plus they have targeted Anime fans too as lets face it Starsaber is pretty much a big anime robot lovers wet dream.

    So this stream dispite peoples gripes really did the trick, plus the coloured renders being shown really made those on the fence pull the trigger.

    Colored renders look pretty good for em. Looks like a pretty cool and neat figure to mess with hopefully.

    (How many of these paint apps do you think will be missing?)

    Like how Optimus got an MP over 10 years ago but you still got Earthrise, different line.

    Your $180 is for the baseline Victory Saber, the bonuses are just that, bonuses

    There's a market for people that don't like MP figures, that's why this exists

    Not currently, maybe they're waiting until there's a colour prototype available.

    Testing a new market for Western audiences, his MP will be 8 years old by the time this one releases and is in a different scale. Did you debate about WFC Sideswipe becuase of HIS MP?
    Not yet
