    Peep the instructions and the notch in his cab windows. Just an observation.

    There he lays all lonely sitting in a warehouse in China:

    I ordered him off Taobao for a really good price. He wasn't labeled as being the new color, but I kind of figured he would be based on how he was a pre-order and for $70 I am happy either way.

    Slyde is right. The instructions do have it positioned like that in SOME of the pictures, and the windows are cut for that piece to sit like in his photos.

    Huh.

    I'll try it out, see which way I like better.

    Generation Toy doesn't do social media releases anymore, so they have to rely on vendors to spread the news.

    That black version looks good.

    Skipped on the regular release (too many Optimii) and the recolour (which was the same colour, but different), but this black version ilooks good. Very tempting.

    To each his own in regards to the black version. Definitely not for me. Glad it is coming out for those who wanted him!

    It totally hides all amazing detail that is on him.

    Getting the new toon colored one and will be painting him more toon after the fact.

    I just got this guy in hand from Robotoybase and the tolerances on it are really nice. The joints on my original figure were a little loose but they are all strong on this copy. I'm glad that I picked it back up and it doesn't hurt that the reissue is a little cheaper.

    I think your likely to see him heavily discounted soon. He is going for $30 in China.
