Jetfire is looking good.... but I need to see better pictures to form a solid opinion. Mirage looks better in this pic. Congratulations! Finding current TFs on South America, even at twice the price, is next to impossible AFAIK. -airfox
Have you ever seen what plane G1 Jetfire was based on ? http://www.japanesetoylink.com/Hasegawa/Sci-Fi/HAS-MAC008.htm I'm just waiting for some cool customizer to paint him in Skull squadron colors and let him loose against the zentraedi
Aside from the details that you've added there, the truth of the matter is that color-wise, all of that could be from sloppy photography. Trust me, I know all about how to wash out colors with crap lighting and bad flashes. Even if it ISN'T washed out colors, I've started to view transformers as molds still needing color. I'm pretty sure at least one of each of these will be getting repainted by me, even if it's in basically the same colors. These molds are priceless though, and I don't want to miss a single one of them. Truthfully, there's plenty of options to get an updated Valkyrie. And, in my mind, with better proportions, better options, and crisper detail than the original had. (1/48 Yammies all the way. And colors are relatively easily fixed, if that's a problem. And, size wise, there's the new Toynami's coming, though I can't for the life of me bring myself to make a purchase from them.) But Skyfire has never gotten an actual form. And, even though Jetfire in the commercial was shown to be a complete badass, and I remember that commercial pretty well myself, I found the show version to be just as interesting. A scientist, waking to find out everything had changed. This design kind of compliments Skyfire, while not totally negating the Jetfire of the past. And in my mind, it's a pretty decent compromise.
A must own, like the rest of the line. And that includes Mirage (grows on me everytime I see him, the bugger...)
To quote Devin Townsend of Strapping Young Lad: "Oh my fucking god!" I have been wanting a good Jetfire/Skyfire since about G2. Not the Armad/Energon/Cybertron plane with the same name. A real one. Much like the updated Soundwave we finally got, this Jetfire is what we've been waiting for. Love. LOVE.
I haven't seena Classics figure tha i haven't liked. This line is going to be awesome. I still can't wait to see Classics Soundwave and his Minion Tapes, as i call them anyways. :tocas
I loved the picture so mucha nd got so excited, my girlfriend wet herself.... And Cory I happen to like the BEFORE pic better than the after..
Sounds good. I think the Fenomenon Stratos Stradale would fit in nicely with the TF Classics aesthetic. (Don't ask me why they named the race-painted car "Stradale." I don't get it either.) http://www.supercars.net/gallery/119513/871/397971.jpg ...no, as Wheeljack.
Looks like a possible fan favorite to me so far. Definitely going to go for the wallet when I first see him. Cory Bauer's toched up Prime definitely looks better, but I also agree with Night Flame about almost all Tfs needing some paint here and there. It's something I've come to accept and I don't freak out over it anymore. After throwing so much paint all over my Armada toys (much needed) I'm done really. Since then, to me the toys have been decent enough to enjoy without having to touch them up, despite the small "obvious" additions I could make here and there.
why? i hope these would change your mind: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/kae_ae/seekerhigh.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/kae_ae/seekerhigh2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/kae_ae/seekhi3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/kae_ae/seekhi4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/kae_ae/seekhi5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/kae_ae/seeklifef1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/kae_ae/seeklifef2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/kae_ae/seeklidef3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/kae_ae/seeklifef4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/kae_ae/seeklifef5.jpg
I knew from the very first moment I saw the Stormbringer cover that it was some freebee from Don showing us the Classics Jetfire. Then Kickback confirmed it. All I know is that this figure will belong to me!!
Must have Jetfire...must have Jetfire...must have Jetfire ~claws monitor screen~ Must have Jetfire. I don't think there's been a classic in this line I wouldn't want if I wasn't been picky about my bot habbit these days.
