    Ok, so obviously MP57 doesn't measure twice the height of MP44 - yet, G1 scale info states G1 Prime at 20ft/6m and Skyfire at 50ft/15m.
    However, another source states Skyfire at metric 10 meters/33ft.

    The latter makes more sense to me because seeing MP57 next to MP44 in Wotafa's video, it does seem more like that proportionally (top of the head, not top of the backpack).
    We know that MP57 top of the backpack measures 35cm, roughly 33cm top of the head.
    I guess that puts him at roughly 1:32 scale eh? ( plenty of 1:32 diorama buildings )

    @Gamerlingual Can you take a pic with the Legacy Menasor and the Skyfire microfigures?

    I haven’t received Motormaster from where I ordered him yet. So far only 2 Stunticons. Otherwise, I would. Apologies for that

    Has anyone gotten a notice from Ages 3 and up yet? I ordered through them and I’m waiting for an invoice.

    Seeing the colors on the Lio Prime makes me really want a black repaint, but I think that's going to be too much of a push at almost 40000 yen:(

    I think Takara chose right with the choice for Starscream, that gray provides a nice contrast to Skyfire

    Congrats to all who got him, and good luck to all those seeking him out.

    As for me, I'd love to own him someday, but every time I compare his price to that of a Macross DX VF-1 (The modern MP of the original G1 Jetfire design), I end up wanting the latter; even if secondhand. :oops:

    I want to get this MP Skyfire, but I already have Fans Toys version, and money isn't worth as much as it used to, so I'm having to cut corners on my collecting.

    The little mini figures are dope!

    I do have the full 1/48 DX VF-1, with all the accessories. And even just the base VF-1 ended up costing me more than MP Skyfire haha, with the accessories... well it's best not to think about.

    I haven't followed this thread whatsoever, so I'm sure it was discussed/mentioned....

    but, was his head always that big?

    edit: Quick Google Image search.....and, yep. It was. lol

    edit edit: It's crazy how you never really pick up on certain things that the cartoon had until you have a physical representation of it in your hand. For example, his head...and how wide and drooping-like his entire upper body is.
