    Thanks for all of your hard work !! I picked up Roadcrane after TFCon and I really love that mold. He stands up to and in many respects he is better than the official Masterpiece (I love detailing on figures). Will be looking to pick up Backdraft as well even though I have the MP and the MT versions. Roadcrane is THAT good.

    The picture speaks for itself, if you find that jarring I wish you the best of luck with your quest for perfection in an imperfect world.

    i feel like the pictures amplify the difference moreso than in-person. light and color photograph differently than the way your eye takes it in

    That's what I am hoping. I wouldn't mind if it were just the camper portion, but it's the cab window frame as well. It can't be that bad in person, I don't think the factory Quality Control would allow it.

    Looks much better with silver headlights but I can see where ppl are coming from regarding truck cover, it's almost a totally different colour in that pic. I think this figure would benefit from a full repaint just like MP Shockwave did/does.

    Yeah bc is definitely more toy styled, no matter how much ppl on Fb try to convince everyone otherwise.

    I refuse to believe this is true. No one would make the A frame a different color than the roof and hood and doors. You're making stuff up now.

    the test shot didn't have the color difference since it was probably painted better.

    Backdraft is a great figure. I preordered him and do not regret it one bit.

    Official video....i know i'm colourblind but come on, the released version is clearly two different shades, and different to what MMC are using to advertise with.

    But the headlights being blue was intentional...

    On the plus side, the paint issues probably mean this guy will be $70 in the very near future.

    So is this video showing the bait and switch, or is it showing what we're actually getting?

    Seems to be the pre-production in the above video.

    It looks like this is what we'll be getting -->
