Looks good in its own right, but those white legs won't go with the city commander upgrade at all.
Criminal what they're charging for this guy just because they know how in demand the original figure is!
So what's that gonna be, around $90 inc. shipping? They're havin' a laugh.
Robot mode should still work OK.
Either way, he's better than the nothing I currently have to fill my CC set, or the $250 odd most Classics UMs (that ship to Oz and/or Japan anyway) go for these days. And he's presumably coming out here in Japan, which is handy.
Coincidentally, if anyone - particularly non-3rd-Party collectors - has a loose, good condition, complete Hasbro Ultra Magnus that they'd like to trade for a MISB Henkei UM then please let me know.:)
The legs will still look a little patchy, as you can see in these photos I just took,
The CC side leg panel has a hole in the middle for UM's leg. You can tell as its a slightly different shade of blue:

From the front it would be the inside of the legs that would be mostly white on the Henkei one:

And the same at the back:

Just some observations to keep in mind.:)
I preordered it :P
that's a lot of white, but it does look nice.
