Just got mine (Omegalock). That purple is very misleading. Depending how the light hits it, it's either a deep blue or a cold purple. Often both at once. And then there is the black. The black is gorgeous. Matt charcoal grey, in a really nice warm tone - I think there is a touch of green and/or brown in it (if you've ever Warhammer-ed, then a slightly darker Skavenblight Dinge). The light grey has the same green/brown warmth to it too (keeping to warhammer colours, a lighter stormvermin fur). It's a nice subtle way of making it feel more like an old hand drawn cartoon from the 80s and works much better than the colder "standard" black you'd get normally.
Crazy how variable the color looks depending on the photo. If he's as close to MP-29 as he looks in this photo, then I'm not concerned at all.
Not deliberate, just missed those steps as I was rushing, only had 30 mins to get them on the shelf before I had to get on a work call. I’ll sort them out later when I add TC
Ethereal is the word I used to discribe the purple, it seems to have so many hidden depths... itll shift subtly everytime you look at it. And yes I tend to agree on the black, I found previous MP Skywarps far far TOO black to the point I flat out didnt like it at all, this one has a lovely texture to it. All in all an extremely Toony rendition of Skywarp, I doubt many who get him in hand will be less than thrilled with it. When I look at him i feel like he's waiting to jump out and grab me by the throat Also zero flaws to report on my copy, and the joints are the best yet!
Starscream and Thundercracker were not noticeably different to me. Well, damn, it looks like all three of mine will have fuck ups: Starscream with his weak ankles Thundercracker with his paint chip and blue paint transfer Skywarp with his mismatched hands
Haven't transformed him yet but of the three I'd say I like TC the best, SS 2nd and SW 3rd. But then I'm not a fan of purple. Can't believe I caved and bought all three seekers. Love this mould though.
I would probably buy the cone heads, but that sets up expectations of more season two guys like triple changers and combiners. For me anyway… Who knows how long we have to wait for those?
This photo right here might be the best one yet that shows how the purple totally changes depending on the light. On some parts of this, it looks lavender. On others, it looks dark indigo. Very interesting.
Jesus…… what are you on about now? can I save you from some self inflicted stress?? here: Literally nothing about mismatched hand colors is real. I assume the other complaints you’re blathering on about are way blown out of proportion as well. If you don’t enjoy these toys just stop buying them and stop bothering those of us that do get pleasure out of them… lord
He’s only nitpicking because he’s desperate to rubbish the official releases by any means. Btw none of my seekers have week ankles.
To his defense, though, there have definitely been some photos that show that the hands in some photos of Skywarp definitely look way more mismatched in color than the example you provided. For example, here: As long as it’s respectful, this thread should allow views, feelings and opinions from all of us, not just those of us who love or are excited about how the new Skywarp has turned out. Sometimes, people’s expressed gripes or frustrations can actually help to inform potential buyers who are sitting on the fence. Just my 2 cents, though.
