    Can anyone do a comparison of this mold with, say, Siege Optimus? I know it’s Legends scale, but I’m just wondering how big it is period.

    My G1 Jetfire cries a tear down its ancient yellow face.

    That's not enough coats of white paint over red plastic/material. Gives it a slightly pinkish hue. Not quite the same as the yellowing of old white plastic.

    I know this. Did anyone say it was the same?

    I am allowed to dislike the glaring mismatch.

    also the white plastic they used is so brilliant that it's probably pretty difficult to match exactly. this was also the case with the painted die cast parts on SG starscream. :p

    Mine just arrived from ShowZ this afternoon, my first Newage figure (next is Omega Supreme), haven't transformed him yet, but holy shit for a hundred days! It feels amaze balls in-hand! :eek: 

    I will be swapping out the face plate from time to time so he can moonlight as Marvel Comics Jetfire from time to time. :thumb

    Absolutely. My post wasn't intended to convey any sort of "you're wrong" in it.

    Don't suppose anyone here is looking to offload their F version and upgrade, are they?

    Picked up the EX toy deco on a whim, and really digging this. I usually prefer Magic Square's offerings, but Newage really gets those toy decos popping.

    Finally got around to transforming him and tried the Marvel Comics Jetfire head swap. Pretty snazzy! :thumb 

    I really like the feel of the figure. The plastic quality is great and moving the joints in robot mode is really fluid and smooth. Like cutting warm butter with a hot knife, or squeezing a stick of warm butter with your hands, lol. Are all Newage figures like this?

    Really excited to get their H53 Omega Supreme now!
