    Default Looking for 15cm G1 Hoist

    I am looking for a G1 Hoist toy similar to this scale:


    The toy can be third party, as long as the G1 appearance is reasonably accurate.

    Earthrise Hoist is a tall deluxe to be in scale with Grapple. He’s 14.5cm tall to the top of his head, 15cm including the sensor on top.

    He doesn't look the same height.
    I compared them instore as best I could and concluded Hoist was shorter.

    Basically, draw a virtual line cross from Grapple's cab roof and Hoist's cab roof is below it.
    If they were the same scale, would they not be on that same parallel?

    He is very close though, I wonder if I removed the thighs and replaced them with a slightly taller version, if I could make up the difference with a homemade mod kit?
    Assuming the knee and hip joints can be user dismantled that is.

    They are different heights, Grapple is taller than Hoist but Hoist has been designed to be a tall deluxe so he (and Trailbreaker) can be in scale with other Autobot Cars.
