    He looks great! Can't wait to get him. Do I wish he was an actual triple-changer? Yes, but this is cheaper and the modes don't seem to suffer for it. Man, he looks good.

    Drift looks way better in that helicopter m9de than Dropkick did.

    Removing him from packaging would be setting him adrift

    This is my favorite Studio Series release ever, oddly enough. Oddly, the most accurate and streamlined movie Drift we have received. I'm surprised that its helicopter mode is so bulky when it comes from Dropkick. Anybody got a guess on his robot mode's exact height measurement going off the Dropkick comparison?

    Aw man. That's a huge gap in the side of the alt mode, isn't it?

    I do really like the helicopter design, a lot, but unfortunately that gap and the back kibble in bot mode took it off the "must get" list.

    The back kibble doesn't bother me that much, but the gap really sucks. I might get him if I can get a good deal, but I'm not paying full price for that.

    I just want a Blue Thunder repaint that turns into Roy Scheider.

    How so? Dropkick has the cleanest goddamn helicopter mode I've seen since ROTF Blazemaster. The only thing that sticks out is the hands, and they don't even look like hands in that mode. Say what you will about the robot mode, but Dropkick's Super Cobra mode is clean AF.

    Don't get me started on the Airwolf/Jan Michael Vincent Selects edition.

    Drift looks a hell of a lot better in person. I actually don't have any version of Drift in my collection, so I might pick up this one.

    I won't say that the red SS version is superior to this one, but it's definitely worth picking up.

    "Sky Drift" is a really cool name. The figure looks great, too.

    Oh, damn. I already got the TLK Drift but seeing this pics is eroding my determination not to buy this guy. He looks amazing.

    So pumped for this. I never picked up the helicopter Dropkick since the car mode had been revealed, but I was interested in the mold- and this is quite possibly one of the best remolds ever.

    I'm not much of a Drift fan, but Hasbro keeps getting me to buy Drifts (this one will be number 5...)

    It's absolute witch craft. I have no idea how they managed to get so much better of a toy out of this version than Dropkick (or what exactly went wrong with Dropkick). This might even be the best looking Drift toy we've gotten.

    Wow!
