    I think it was drying up even before WJ disappeared. As they said in a statement that their OS MP releases were selling extremely poorly outside of other stuff. Aside from a few outliers like their Optimus's G1 and Movie style.

    Yeah, that's likely true. I always thought it weird after they released their OS Inferno that Grapple or Artfire weren't right in the pipeline, but the long wait for OS Ratchet should have also served as a clue the interest probably wasn't there despite all the initial interest their OS Optimus pulled. Very limited competition probably didn't help much either.

    My problem with the OSKO is there are some characters we're never gonna see from Takara which means we'd never see them in OSKO. Also, by the time they came along, most of us were pretty deep into our MP collections. If I were starting from the beginning and I had the option to get every character I now own, both Takara and 3P, in OSKO scale... well honestly, I probably wouldn't - it's already difficult finding space for them - but it would've been a lot more tempting.

    I forgot about the WJ Inferno. Never bought it, and that sucks.

    If the torso actually locks together on this I’ll happily buy one. That was the only thing that bothered me on Big Spring, but it was bad enough to make me get rid of him.

    $70. That is great price. :eek:  (I hope they continue to make new KO 'es, for example Fanstoys Phoenix :p )

    This is fantastic...competition in the MP space...exactly what the fandom needs. The new colors look great, really hope they tune out the floppiness in the chest!

    This looks really good and i'm considering canceling my saltus alternative for it... if this is RH-02, what was RH-01? I've never heard of this company and would like to do some research on quality before swapping my pre-orders.

    RH01 was Soundwave dinosaur cassettes. Not sure what other names or products they have had though.

    Agreed. The Open & Play release was cheap and cheerful for sure, but I thought the figure worked really well. Although I went for MMC in the end for my MP Springer, before that came along I actually sold my Fanstoys and kept this - it's just a far more playable figure, and incredible for the price. If this release improves the face and sorts the chest tab, it's a real winner.

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed & know that this will be improved.

    Edit: pic fixed
    Here are some comparisons. As I said before, I'm glad RH changed the color. It just pops.

    I agree, the paint is fantastic. Can't decide if it's in anyway more interesting to me than the FT Springer I already have. But it certainly is way more tempting than the original version was. I wonder what all shoulder configurations are possible. There are a couple I would have liked to have done with FT that just aren't possible. If he has more options that might get me to pull the trigger (maybe).

    I don't even like Springer as a character, but this is tempting. While it's not a popular notion, I've been wanting to paint up one of the figures of him in G1 toy colors-- this one might be the right candidate.

    Man, I'm torn.

    I have the original O&P.
    And while THIS repaint looks FANTASTIC, w/ more "real world" colors,
    I kind of like how the Day Glows of the original blend in with the Light Blues, and Pinks of the other Movie Bots (Arcee, Kup, Blurr, etc...). :sly:

    my original O+P has what I think are the best reprolabels i ever bought, but I still went in for this redo, bc the improvements made are just what I wanted first time around. (the gun looks worse tho). gonna put one with Moviebots and one with IDW Wreckers.
