Sounds like things are doing better over there, and that's most important. Kudos for getting some reviews out during whatever craziness you had going. And cool to officially have you back. Good review!

[@RocketPunchArmy]

+sal cipriano Its good to be back!

Name: Mirage. Faction: Autobot. Function: spy/counter-intelligence. Vehicle mode: race car. Motto:” Who and what I am I hide from the enemy.”

[@maxbrandt6]

Very nicely done offering! In vehicle mode, Mirage is based off a Ligier JS11 formula 1 race car, it competed in the 1979 and 1980 World Championships and proved to be very competitive!

I got lucky I found one on eBay and I'm waiting for it to arrive. Also bought Gundog (Hound). Thanks for the review. Your videos are always a huge help for making my decision when I want to get a new robot. Specially with the more expensive Soul Of Chogokin. Hope you keep making these reviews because they really help a lot. Much appreciated. I was wondering if you have any third party masterpiece style "Jazz". He is always been my favorite Gen1 Autobot and would love to get one. I've heard that the Maketoys one is really good but haven't been able to find one anywhere.

[@CarlosHernandez-sp7bo]

use one of those plastic tab bread ties. That's what I used the split the head up. Takes some effort though.

[@CurtFury]

Welcome back... I always look forward to your reviews

[@RocketPunchArmy]

+Curtis Megginson Thanks, will try and keep things coming!

[@eyescovered]

I was shocked how much I liked this figure. He is great and looks awesome in bot or alt mode. One thing I didn't know till I saw another review is that those shoulder panels slide up to give the elbow area more clearance.

[@briankuang6675]

Already have this

[@briankuang6675]

You are finally back

[@samhill5245]

some may not know that some 3rd party designers work with takara and the other way around. welcome back bro

[@RocketPunchArmy]

+Sam Hill Of course, some people are just contracted, not exclusive

[@miffedakko9312]

I love this figure. very accurate rendition of classic mirage

[@DataSlam]

Kinda curious those issues you have - the sprue marks, loose hips and whatnot. Must be a second run thing. Or could that be a knockoff? I have two copies of the first run and they suffer none of those issues. The fit and finish on both is immaculate.

[@RocketPunchArmy]

+DataSlam Its not a KO as there arent any of this figure. The issues are very very slight and more nitpicks than anything but they are there. I still love this thing though

[@laudikoh]

Nice review. This does not comes with the parachute ?

[@RocketPunchArmy]

yes, the only problem is that during the holidays i was moving around a lot and parachute was lost in the shuffle. The second release does not come with it

[@Transfixed]

I can't pry the head apart either. I'm afraid to damage it.

[@RocketPunchArmy]

+Dendric I gave up myself. Never did it

[@Transfixed]

Well i managed to pry it off with a hobby knife after all, but whether it's worth it is entirely subjective.

[@Geewunner4life]

I love this figure. Too bad their upcoming MP INFERNO doesn't do nothing for me.

[@irwinpang5883]

This version has become very expensive not sure why mmc had no plans to reissue. In terms of quality it's actually better than masterpiece as Takara keeps cutting corners in paint and materials

[@blammers]

I don't trust any dealer that sells knockoffs.

[@alienrefugee51]

I've had no complaints with TF Direct

[@RocketPunchArmy]

+Benbot To be fair, they sell both and they label KO as KO so they aren't being deceptive.

[@r3mdh]

Not a fan of the montage transformation. Way too hard to follow.
