    Yeah, 4 months away.

    I could think about Leader Class Blackout everyday and find out NYTF was just another disappointment. But I hope I'm wrong on this one.

    Man, there will be virtually no full blown unofficial figures to tide me over after UT Peru Kill* and Firage. The issue with 3P movieverse stuff is when we get our requests fulfilled, we get them fulfilled BIG TIME. And then we go through withdrawal as we wait for more news about them...or is this the way every TF 3P collector experiences things? :drunk 

    *(scraped off my list/lower priority to save up for MPM-05. Spoiler alert HasTak, when you folks try, I also try to do my best to support official)

    Standard height for living-style ceilings averages at about 8', rendering a "story" about 10' when floors and ceilings are accounted for.

    But there's no reason to think street-front buildings like that would have only home-style dimensions-- businesses or certain office buildings might have significantly higher ceilings and thus taller "stories".

    WOW. Good thing I'll be skipping most of POTP, based on what we've seen so far. Everything else on that list is way more exciting. My wallet is really going to be hurting if these lines are any good. And jeez, HasTak's designers must be working overtime to develop four full lines at once.

    All I can say is: BRING IT ON.

    in the movie, he has 4 fingers. The figure seems to have 4 as well but the middle finger sticks out more and the camera angle hides them. don't worry I thought/think he does too.

    Crap I think I am becoming a narcissist.
    But I used a pic of concept art blackout to get an idea of how big he is so now that I think about it, That might not be a good idea and Finding an actual cgi model from the film would be more logical.

    Yeah he is like 40 something feet not even counting the head so he is around 48 feet tall.

    In this case, I feel like to scale with m...pm (thats still hard for me to say even though I said I would) Optimus prime, Megatron would be like 10-11 and half inches and blackout be over 15 inches.(making him the largest masterpiece if they care that much about scale)

    I hope I don't sound round but why do you and others count kibble or head prongs as part of the characters height.Thats like saying someone is taller because they have big ass shoes and an afro.
    Its a headcannon thing and also calling the truck longarm makes it seem cooler.

    He seemed a lot bigger in the first scene, but smaller in Mission City... idgi. Personally, I'd be happy if they went with Grindor's height for Blackout. That way a remold would be easy and it would make more sense being that big anyway. Is there an official size anywhere or are we all just going off the fan chart?

    I most of the time say "F*** that chart" Nothing against the guy who made it, I bet he is a pretty cool guy you can crack open a cold one and enjoy a bag of dewritos with.anyway, Some of those make no sense like Ironhide is like 24 feet and Megatron is like towering over Optimus Prime.
    The wait begins
