    I've got all of them, and they all have the same quality material. Te03 as a few fiddly parts, like the collarpiece moving with the head, and the engine on the back doesn't lock in place. On mine, he's joint aren't that tight, but that can be remedied. I'd recommend him if you can get a hold of him, and are willing to gamble any qc issues.

    See, another one that has bad looking details on the animation model pic and why the figure shouldn't be designed from those! I think most are bad cuz it's the start to the characters and they got better throughout the show.

    FT Mirage is the best looking Mirage but it's slightly, very slightly better than TE Mirage. So if there is no FT Mirage I would go instantly for TE. But then I'm finally going for FT Mirage even though TE is very good looking and he is cheaper(I want to save some money) Both figures have flaws. And I'm glad they did them before Takara official. Oh wait Takara will never get a license for Mirage an that is a middle finger to them. To be honest they even don't deserve a license. What they did to a Bumblebee and Cliffjumper is a total abomination and disgrace to creativity, aesthetics, ideas and imagination. Their last good looking bot was Sunstreaker and that's all about it. Now they are sinking more and more to the bottom. But let's stop talking about Takara and goes offtopic and let's get back to a Mirage. MMC Sphinx has aged well and it's still a good looking figure and I'm glad people are enjoying it. But it would be cool if MMC is going to make a new version. I'm not sure if MMC ever did a new version of their figures but they could make an exception on this for Mirage. Heck even DX9 could join with new Invisible (I know it's the worst looking version of Mirage but they could try it again and fix all those design and aesthetics flaws) Then XTB ( Somehow I'm sure we will see XTB Mirage very soon. They need to bully FT as they did it with Janssen) and Badcube and Maketoys ( I'm not sure if they are dead or not. Their Coneheads and Headmasters are still not coming) Anyway if we can have like ten Springers to choose then why not more Mirages. I mean is Springer really more iconic than Mirage? . Sure it's not. I want full Mirage wars. More to come and more to choose. So let it be.

    Robotoyz sent me an e-mail asking for the full amount for this guy.

    I won't ever be using Robotoyz again: I sent 3 emails and 3 Facebook messages asking to cancel the pre-order and they flat out ignored me, plus they're a bit pricey too and they don't actually keep their stock in hand.

    I’m seeing a phantasm on Facebook which implies it may be quickly after hoist.

    I never even heard of them. Did you pay a deposit? If they don’t refund you, just do a charge back and/or contact PayPal.

    This is ok, I'm a fan of FT, however this isn't good enough to make me want to replace my TE Mirage.

    Yeah. Ive had issues with them and went through PayPal, which got their attention.

    Avoid them is my advice.

    When this is released I may just give my place holder TE Mirage away. All I have in the way of placeholders after this are the DS Seekers, TE Prime and the IT Megs KO. Oh, I have the DX9 PG KO as well but its trash so will be discarded the second Warthog arrives.

    I had a look back at the photos on P1 and whether it has anything to do with release order or not, Phantasm is blurred while Jive is not... maybe Jive first? I don't really care much which way they are released... Jazz at Christmas would be reminiscent of the year of the Goose for me though!

    Liking the look of both and Hitch can't drop soon enough :D

    The white on the chest and thighs don’t match the white paint everywhere else.
