I miss the old blue.
I dont think there's anything wrong with the face/head. But somethin else seems to be off with it from those pics.
I actually think the smiling face looks better. If you look at Mirage in the cartoon, he fairly prominent angle lines running down his face from his eyes. Without them, the face looks to round. Also the helmet is a little round. It needs to flare out _just a little bit_ more at the bottom.Quote:

Of course I'm nitpicking. But given I expect this to be on Takara's radar in the next 2 years and I think TT will do a better job, this would need to be pretty close to perfect for me to buy it. Or include a toy accurate head. Then I'd probably be in.
I prefer the old blue too... though the photo isn't great so it might not be a good representation anyway. My ideal blue is probably right in between them though.
The head could definitely use some work, i think it's mostly the eyes which need more definition/sharper lines... atm they end up looking a bit sad - see this photoshop someone did on TFW (the render is MMC's):

The "ELL" instead of "ELF" bugs me as well.
Digressing here. I really liked the Tetrajet idea, and it's still a representation that no other third party company has tackled (or deemed profitable enough a niche to tackle). Impossible Toys should have gone with a modernised design (either Classics scale or MP scale) for their robot modes instead of the G1 look. End digression.Quote:

I'm pretty happy with my DX9 Invisible and this does nothing to change my mind. I think Invisible's proportions are better.
