Did they? Would love for there to be a chance to finally get a "correct" Grace's. (grey striping of the later version, but dull olive green of the original). The later one is way too intense emerald green. (but a revival would probably just be an exact copy of the last one again)

If they'd just painted the whole thing gunmetal, it'd look much nicer and be a better homage. (and all-gunmetal jets do exist, the F-20 is the first one that comes to mind)

How does Retributor Armor "brush"? Many gold paints lately (looking at you, Vallejo) are very "sticky" and horrible to use, even if the color is nice.

My vote is gonna be a basic fighter-mode-only VF-1 kit. They make some really nice F-14s.

Sandstorm's alt-mode was so exaggerated-bland it never "gave me a vibe" as to what it is. I'll take a look later and give more thoughts. Blitzwing is far from a scale model of a MiG-25 but it's still blatantly obvious what he's supposed to be. That said---the wiki is so terrible with aircraft alt-modes. I gave up trying to correct Octane, it's gone from bad to worse over the years. (he's a 747 people, engine-count be damned) ::edit:: If you assume the instructions are wrong (wouldn't be the first time), G1 Sandstorm is supposed to have a horizontal stabilizer, not an odd vertical tail tip. That does make it more SH-3 ish. However, one of the few distinct details the toy does have for sure, is three large front windows----like an H-53- 16129 replies

I don't remember the gun pod being so orange, but it's also been a while since I last watched Dynamite.

That nose gear looks awfully far forward, but I couldn't quickly/easily find any references for it.

It looks terrible to me, I'm thinking about picking up Thunder Manus now. The arms on the trailer stick up much further than the G1 toy or toon did, just looks ridiculous. And a hundred other smaller things bug me too.- 16129 replies

Apparently the retro Eel uses a brighter red. Will need a side-by-side though.

I guess that reveals how often I look at the back of my Eel, I didn't notice the different logo at all...

STAR WARS Merchandise Episode - 2
David Hingtgen replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Wow, it looks like they may have actually gotten the markings right on the B-Wing. (WAY too many places put them very symmetrically/doubled, leading to orange circles all over the place) Will need pics from other angles to be sure though. -

Considering how many variations we've seen in the past couple years of how to fold up Magnus' arms into the top of a trailer, there's zero excuse for PM Prime's arms to be like that. It's GOT to be a mistransformation, otherwise Takara has somehow lost a ridiculous amount of engineering talent and skill recently. Making PM Prime's arms flush with the front of the trailer should be child's play compared to what we've seen both Takara and 3P companies do with Magnus' arms.- 16129 replies

The new/retro Snow Serpents have a notably brighter shade of blue, the original Classified (boxed) release use an almost navy blue. I suspect they are also a different shade of white. (plus all the gear/kit being different--no bazooka, no bazooka-backpack, etc) The Eels are 99% identical. I think the only change is the strap on the not-a-speargun is blue instead of red. Figure itself identical or so close you can't tell from pics.

Interesting, as I feel the latest Alto -25 is not as pure white as the original renewals. (At least, certainly not the "alternate" type of plastic used in some spots, like near the waist/hinges----it's not POM I think, but it's also not the "standard" ABS used for the main parts of the wings and legs etc----the previous releases seemed to have a more perfect match as-new, but those parts yellowed at different rates----the latest -25 doesn't match as well to start with, and almost looks very slightly pre-yellowed on those parts) Having the latest Alto -171 be even brighter than the original is surprising.
