    Mechanic Toys (MFT) posted on their weibo that she's 9.8 cm tall, so she's meant to scale with their Hot Rod (10.2 cm), Blurr (10.5 cm) and Springer (12 cm).

    Also, who looks at the pic of that figure and assumes this planet has the technology to make a micromaster with that level of detail and articulation...

    Well look at newage Bumblebee snd Cliffjumper for example it is possible, I haven't personally seen Dr wu's micro series so don't actually know how small we are talking here, might check out some reviews to get an idea

    Okay I checked out a review by deluxe as he always does some good comparisons, wow now I get it they really are micro lol that's newage Soundwave towering over them! And about the size of wst lol Screenshot_20211126-105420_YouTube.jpg

    So, this one is going to be same size as MS one (from ShowZ data it seems to be a tad smaller from original)? So, I am puzzled with which Legend figures it will scale well?

    Maybe a combination of a couple things, like ShowZ simply doesn't have the exact height but wanted to put something in the description as a placeholder. It could also be that MS figs are basically borderline Legends+ already. 11cm for the original MS perceptor is already not a legends size figure. That is taller than even a 1:18 figure (like a GI Joe). MFT doesn't need to OS something that is already in their size.

    Seriously, what was the deal with that? It's the only Magic Square figure I can remember that came and went so fast that it was sold out by the pre-order phase.

    He did sell out everything bloody quick, I saw him on AliExpress for £45 and that's not including shipping and taxes....so a cheaper mft one up scaled or not will be welcomed by most I reckon

    MS percy was 100% a covid casualty bot. because of circumstances he had a limited factory run. so as soon as he was released he sold out domestically.

    then the a majority of his US shipments got trapped in a container for many months.

    so after TCP stack sold out and the rest of the US bots were released to freedom the game was on.

    MS Perceptor is 10 cm tall. ShowZ says MFT's is 10.5 cm, so it is an upscale. With that said, I also don't take ShowZ at face-value because more often-than-not, their measurements are wrong from what I've seen.

    Yeah wait for the release instead of relying on what Showz says, they’re wrong about sizes all the time. It’s probably just a guess on their part

    Like @Phase Sixer said there were many color schemes.

    3 basic troopers (what you have)
    Metallic set
    3 pack variants (metallic, translucent blue, grey)
    2 trooper and a all purple translucent
    Then what I think you're looking for (pictures below, not my picture) is the 2 trooper and 1 commander (painted face) set. The first one the commander was regular colors (either gold or silver or blue teeth variants) then there was another similar set after where the commander had a part of him in translucent purple)..
