    Default Full colour images of MP Sideswipe revealed on Ehobby site

    Full colour pix at ehobby That Lambo looks glorious! Hoping the complexity is up there with the Alternity toys.

    He's so tiny! And is that a painted black windscreen?
    Alt mode looks very good as it should for a licensed vehicle.

    The head sculpt is terrible, the windows don't appear to be transparent (even the original toy had this), and he looks even smaller in those pics. I'd pay $60-$70 tops.

    I know he's supposed to be shorter. But not THAT short, surely? His head should at LEAST reach Prime's chest?!

    Using the image of Sideswipe standing in front of Optimus, his head comes up to the line on the red part of his abdomen... which make it a head shorter than Alt/BT Sideswipe, and the same height as Voyager TFPrime Megatron & FE Optimus.
    The price will be easier for us to swallow, as it is closer to our Voyager price-point than the Americans (which is only $20, compared to our $45-50). That means we only need twice the TFPrime quality for it to be worth it (that won't be difficult), while the Americans would need it to be 4 times as good to be worth the expense of it.
    In other words, if it was priced at $160 instead of $80, how many of us would buy it (because that's what the American fans would see from that pricing).

    Yeah, he's just giving us a site that has the images mirrored, as the ehobby site uses java, and isn't in english... so can be difficult.
    Seibertron also has the images mirrored (because TFW was having issues this week with too many users overloading the system).

    What the hell has happened to MP size wise, Sideswipe should at least be shoulder height as far as I'm concerned, Smaller than a BT you say. I will buy this as it's a completey new mould but I'm a Sad Panda.
