    That screengrab of the broken part was from Brother Liu's review of the original, apparently it was broken out of the box for him:

    I hope they fix the face sculpt. Sometimes too cartoon accurate isn't good.

    Proportions too.
    Otherwise this is great and it's nice to get more options!

    Posted this in the KO thread as well.
    But will KO MP57 Skyfire be any larger? The only niggle I've got with this figure is that I imagine him just a bit taller than the current size. MP-44 looks just a little too tall standing next to him. The WFC Jetfire/Optimus Prime height comparison looks a little better to me.

    I've got the official coming and would really only be tempted by something "different" from a KO. If there is a demand for face sculpts that look more "heroic" and less like Skyfire, then that would also interest some fans.

    Yes, I know that many fans think MP transformers are too tall and don't fit on their shelves.

    Deleted this post because it was moved here by mods and no longer has the same context. KOs are trash.

    I may check this one out. I adore my FT Phoenix but something about the official just tickles those toon feels for me.

    I know what you mean. The more figures I have, the more I appreciate the ones that differ from the standard "heroic" body shape. Loads of people seem to dislike the official's melty ice cream look, but I prefer how visually interesting it is, plus I like the contrast between MP Skyfire's less than heroic proportions and his intimidating size.

    Dunno, maybe I'm just weird.
