Anyone else getting the feeling that Warden took an approach to Skyfire that when you strip away the COMBAT gimmick, it's essentially a scaled down and stripped down Masterpiece figure?
It's not just things like the flappable insignia, it's things like the movable hands with retractable weapon port and spring loaded doors hiding robot kibble.
It feels like a love letter to fans and I can't wait to get one in my hot little hands.
That's what I was thinking when watching the video. It's not evident in the still pictures, but the hands and the springloaded doors feel like a masterpiece design. I had resisted the temptation to buy a third party masterpiece scale, and so glad that I did. Jetfire will be one of those toys I buy online with courier shipping, just to have him in my hands No stress or worries about whether we will see it at retail, or chasing him in empty stores
On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!
I think it's a bit more than a Masterpiece. Whenever I see it, I think to myself "it's got everything. It's the only Jetfire a fan would ever need". It's cartoon accurate but you can achieve the 1985 toy-accurate look by slapping on the armour/accessories (not like some Takara Masterpieces where they release the toy accurate version first, then later release the cartoon accurate version as a separate toy that's more expensive than the initial release). It's got some cool Easter eggs like the flipping Decepticon symbol. The scale is right when placed next to other figures. I like it.
Besides Jetfire, Smashdown looks pretty interesting. I don't think we've had an Autobot Minotaur before, unless anyone knows of one?

If we go by the size of FT Phoenix (14 inches tall) Siege Jetfire (who I've read is about 11 inches tall) is 3-4 inches short of being the right height to be a MP Skyfire.
However some people say Phoenix is a little too tall so for them the Siege toy might be just the bot to serve as a stand in on their MP shelf.
