You make me feel so old 
But the feeling of turning the pages around,irreplaceable 

 

Both the Siege and FT still look very good - but the different style approach with MP57 is gigantic.
Note how MP57's lines are so much more slanted/tapered, creating a very distinct "triangular" interpretation of the same source material.
FT does have the most well developed face sculpt though - but on the other hand, his Optimus Prime style feet have always bothered me
for Skyfire.

Ps. I think you forgot to compress MP57's hips a bit, push them inward,no?

 

Still undecided between MP-57 and Phoenix. As with MP-52 and the DS Starscream I think this is closer than some people would like you to believe, certainly aspects of both that I like/dislike. Going to very much be a case of deciding when they're both in hand.

 

Thanks  

Yep, as I posted earlier, no doubt the MP is the most accurate to the cartoon. If that was important to me, it wouldn't be a contest at all.

But purely from a design point of view, not coloured by nostalgia or the concept that it should be cartoon accurate, I absolutely prefer FT Phoenix. And even when talking about Jetfire/Skyfire, I still prefer the look of the FT. But then, cartoon accuracy has never been important to me, at least not as a guiding principle.

 

  GL got it so good(same with others JP based) 

 

Glorious! My favorite thing about collecting MPs is how they all look together

 

That's the thing - I STILL think figures like Prowl look great next to Sunstreaker which looks great next to an obvious throwback figure like Skids.

 

Who would have thought we could play our videogames with phones, consoles and desktops processing power almost to an nth degree all at the comfort of our home?

The actuality of having an official anime accurate Skyfire who was NEVER meant to be an actual toy back in 1984    and quite the wallet buster  (on the latter I'm also   of joy and pain too ). Good, nope! Great times indeed to be a fan! 

Special mention to the other MPs released (Hound would have been PERFECT! etc etc)

 

Jeez, he's a lot smaller than I would've liked (that's not what she said btw!) but he looks stunning. If there's a criticism I have is that I wished they would have used a lighter shade grey for the face a la Ratchet or was it that dark in the toon?

Nice....keep them pics rolling, there's something interesting about seeing a pic with only official figures, do you only collect official, just curious?

 

TFW2005= he's too small
Japanese posts on twitter= he's too big

 

Too big?

Can't understand that viewpoint at all. Maybe from a space saving aspect? Even then I don't relate having a 46" figure stood on my shelves lol
