A few of you guys have bought KO 'Sunstorm' (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=9286&page=3) and have found him to be a yellowy colour and not very orange at all - KO Toys have now released a more orange hued Sunstorm for you Seeker lovers.

Original Yellow Sunstorm (http://kotoys.com/kotoys.php?id=1398&cat=Henkei&name=CHMS+KO+Henkei+YELLOW+SEEKER+SunnyyyStorm)
New Orange Sunstorm (http://kotoys.com/kotoys.php?id=1427&cat=Henkei&name=CHMS+KO+CLASSIC+ORANGE+SUNSTORM+Seeker)

Colour wise, a better match for Sunstorm but I'm still going to stay away from these (ridiculously overpriced) KO's (and hope there's a HasTak release somewhere down the line). :rolleyes:

On a side note, the previous yellow release has been christened: "Sunnyyystorm" by the guys at KO Toys :p

Just received my new Sunstorm. It really is fantastic from the new colour to the quality of the mold. The only negative I have is his left wrist is a bit limp but other than that, it feels like a genuine release. None of the other issues that plagued the earlier KO seekers.

He will sit nicely with the rest of his seeker buddies

I received one today and his left wrist has the same problem. One of his missile launchers took a bit of jamming in.

What I've called the yellow one really isn't printable in a family-friendly forum. Let's just say it's two words, the first is another word for yellow and the second is another word for rain....

Doesn't eBay sell it as well now?

Seems like you've having some bad luck with CHMS. Would you be able to upload some pics of the damage?

I've bought the Henkei Thundercracker, Skywarp, Orange Sunstorm (I believe this is the second edition of CHMS Sunstorm) and also 3x Purple Seeker Clones - condition of all quite good aside from their nose cone piece being slightly flimsy (not insanely tight like the hand joints).

Well my Sunstorm is generally ok, except for the part where the cockpit folds into it. The wire seems to slip out and makes transforming it a bit of a challenge. BUt a few tweaking I was able to transform it. BUt I dont think Ill transform him quite often.
