Digi. This mold has toy colors written all over it.

 

4 hours of unadulterated hard work and guts... (Make that an extra 2 once I get Crosscut taken care of...)

@Cheebs You're either psychic or spying on me, getting yours out minutes before mine...  

Beautiful work, brother! Still questioning to this day how in the ever-living FUCK your bashes end up with a convincing texture to them. Black magic I tell ya! Haha.

 

I dig it a lot! I basically skipped out on 99% of MP\'s following their massive price hike but this is actually a return to something I\'d actually want to buy.

 

Sorry. Not the best images, but hey.

 

Hey look! It's a new Binaltech Skids....... : /

Hopefully they do a "+" version that ditches all the extra (toy) detail. It could certainly look more in line with more modern MP's if they do that. I'll wait for that to hopefully happen.

 

Well there is no price revealed. From the looks of it, I don’t think he’ll get to 180. He seems more $100-130 but idk there’s not much shown to gauge price like accessories and parts count or paint.

According to "Figure King No.277", the series number, release date and price are undecided, but the person in charge of development is Mr. Mitsuhito Ohno who worked on the original Diaclone version that is the basis of G1 "Skids". That is.

 

quoting to see if it helps me see the damned pictures!

 

And again

 

I hope he has an interior with seats an all that cool stuff.

 

It works....

I really am struggling to see an improvement over XTB's attempt. I'll be interested in the colour scheme used (toy or toon) as it'll probably decide for me.

I don't really see a plus version (of the old type of plus, 52 screwed it right up!) here. I think we get one blue Skids, and a bunch of repaints.

If they go toon palette, blue legs etc, then I'll get him if he's reasonably priced. Otherwise it's Savant for me.

 

Does it?
Usually works for me.
Edit: I see it did the trick.

The shoulders are the biggest difference so far.
Face is better too, obviously. Even though I like my Savant's face well enough.
I need to see more before deciding to replace Savant.
And price will have to be about equal to what I paid for Savant, which is very doubtful.

 

I love that!

 

It did. Weird how some show and others don't, even in the same post.

I wonder if it's if you mix uploaded images and copy/pasted ones? Otherwise I can't imagine why it happens!

 

That's exactly what I did.
The site has trouble showing pasted pictures?

 

Looking a lot more like this will be the last new release of the year, going up in March puts him most likely in October. Knowing SW is probably getting squeezed in by Dec/ Jan if anything we'll have reveals for 2022.

Three Ohno designs( Starscream, Skids, Raiden) means he hopefully finishes things off with one of his favorite projects ( Astrotrain or Blitzwing) or one of his later works, Galvatron

 

looking at all the space in the back I wonder if they plan on adding the MotoCompo scooter that was cut from the Transformers toy but was part of the DiaClone figure.

 

The holes in the front wheels need to improved upon.

 

Honestly i'm surprised that my estimate turned out to be way longer than I thought this'd take.

OBLIGATORY CROSSCUT NO SLEEP FOR ME YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
