    But I have never seen a more articulated figure since then

    Kinda looks like he has the same range of motion as Jhiaxus. And there are a handful of modern figs with ab crunch

    Nope, hollow forearms once you pull the hands out.
    ;) :p 


    I guess I remember the days when I was happy with a Throttlebot, even if his windshield sticker wore out.
    Kids these days are spoiled.

    (Still have my Throttlebots, btw, and love ‘em!)

    I like it personally. It's a really fun figure just to mess around with. Can we also appreciate how well balanced this thing is. You cannot recreate this pose with any other figure without a flight stand.

    Personally I also think he’s a fun figure and such a cool design. He’s my Mirage on my shelf.

    I absolutely adore this figure. The Henkei version here especially.

    But they were diecast and literal bricks! And they never broke! Except for when they did, but that doesn't count.

    Same I never felt the need to get siege/kingdom Mirage with their faux forming looking selves.
    The henkei version is amazing. I was able to score mine for the low price of $15 usd. Granted it was pre-owned, no box, and had minor damage to the hip skirt. Considering on ebay one of these bad boys is going for $40 usd pre-owned I got a bargain.

    I have about 30 masterpiece figures. I have transformed them all, most more than once, and I haven’t had a single one break. If yours are breaking ‘with the first transformation’ then you’re doing something wrong.

    Funny thing here is in that collage, the out of box images are of Classics Mirage. Just shows how excellent both decos are!

    Haha, I noticed that actually, and almost didn’t post it, cuz of accuracy. But it made me wonder if there was some special Takara release after the Henkei, or if the collage person just darkened the blue on some stock photos or something. :D 


    Anyway, have we gotten at least 350 more backers yet today??? Would love to see him funded this weekend…

    We've gotten about 59 since 5pm PST last night when I recorded last. Which is over half the daily average. The day before got 91 backers

    Actually there was a rerelease of the mold in a 3 pack with Ironhide and Hound, but I’m afraid I don’t know if the was changed or not. Will have to look that up…

    Edit: the rerelease did have a deco change, but it was for metallic paint apps. It was basically identical to the Henkei but with metallic silver instead of chrome. So the livery in the collage can only be the initial Classics release. The more you know!

    I'm guessing there's a Monday dump that'll put it over goal. Hasbro already knew this was coming and that's why they're having the stream Tuesday.

    What would the Monday dump be from? And why would you guess this?

    The stream Tuesday is totally unrelated to progress in backers; they have a colored prototype to show off.

    It’s been the pattern for the last couple Mondays, a dump of orders from international or online retailers. Keeps the momentum going.

    I’m thinking the Show set for Tuesday is a coincidence really, but could be strategic I suppose…
