Vincoroor V33-06 Fire of the Sky (AKA KO Masterpiece Scale Siege Jetfire)

[@mcloutierg8201]

Thanks for another great Skyfire / Jetfire review in the Year of Jetfire / Skyfire. Looking forward to the vs. A question for you. In the recommendations section our graphic indicated both 4 and 5 and after a couple of rewatches of the section I did not hear you use any of the exact ranking descriptions. What was your final ranking?

[@TMReviews]

Woops, final recommendation should have been a 5

[@TMReviews]

I pinned this comment for the benefit of others

[@paperstrawmedia]

Kudos to whoever KOed this as this might be the first figure that has built-in flight stand storage.

[@bacproduction7186]

Just because you haven't seen other figures do that doesn't mean this one is the first tho. MP Star Saber did that 10 years ago, and his stand can be used as a shield, both MP Megatron and Optimus have stands that actually form parts of their alt modes, and that's just transformers, I'm sure there's many more examples.

[@paperstrawmedia]

@@bacproduction7186 Thanks, kinda forgotten about those since they rarely work well. Also, I own those pieces, really silly of me. And I do still give props to the original, but that still doesn't alter the fact that this made improvements beyond anyone expecting just a straight-up lazy KO. Again, thank you for correcting something that I wasn't already sure of.

[@DragoonMS]

FINALLY, somebody has reviewed this behemoth!! Thank you!! This is pretty nice, and I think that I've found my winner in the Skyfire/Jetfire wars. (I've been trying to understand all along WHAT MP57 brought to the table that both Siege Jetfire and FT10 Phoenix didn't already do better...show accuracy? That's it? Not cutting it when jet mode is so sloppy.) And with this oversized KO of Siege Jetfire being a few bucks cheaper than the MP57 KO and *STILL* looking better?? That there's a win-win all around. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

Glad I could help

Nice..just placed my order today after saw ur video..around 55 usd in my country

[@gtoney]

What a Very cool figure. Love the scale and upgrades. Great Review ✨️😃

[@TMReviews]

Thanks G

[@bobdobalina8910]

You are twisting my Rubber Arm in making me want to buy this. I don't really have a reason to but your review is telling me YES! BUY IT! lol Thanks for an Honest Review. Looking Forward to the Comparison to MPs/MP KO and the Normal TT one. Do like the improvements, always welcome. WOW! Just checked and it's SOLD OUT. That's what I get for sitting on the fence.

[@x-wingflyboy8177]

Preordered this last year and have been waiting with keen interest since, this looks amazing.

[@choostopher5018]

That's a brilliant Skyfire, extremely tempting!

[@sidearmsalpha]

Got this guy coming. He looks awesome and the improvements definitely are welcome.

[@shadowbird]

Really good thorough review. And thank you so much for all the comparisons.

[@TMReviews]

Thanks for watching

[@phillipmardis2492]

I really like how you did the fastforward transformation sequence and for the reasons you stated. Nice song too. Not sure I've heard that on your channel before, and I watch basically every video you release.

[@Ridiculous-Badger]

I been looking forward to this one. Thanks dude

[@TMReviews]

Thanks for watching badger

[@saysoun752]

Can't wait to get mine as it just arrived in the US so hopefully I'll have him by the end of the week. I pre-ordered as soon as I saw him, just because of the gap cover. I then immediately sold my Siege Jetfire for this guy. Just rewatching video to hype myself up.

[@rickycuevas6479]

He is awesome bro 👍🏻, Also thank you for your reviews and vids you put out brother, I really enjoy your style of reviews. The way you compare figures, how you thoroughly go through the whole figure it is awesome TM. ❤

Solid review just ordered this

[@imanihodges2566]

Great review! I'm not crazy about the dead eyes when the LED's are off, but everything else is perfect!

[@TMReviews]

Yeah if it didn't have the mask I would probably paint the eyes

[@waynegriffin8667]

Great review. This figure makes me wish I didn't get the MP-57 KO, LOL.

[@mechgouki7999]

I do not understand why. The KO skyfire costs around 120usd, which is less than half of the authentic original. Vincoroor on the other hand, costs MORE than the original, at 105usd. While both are basically copied homeworks, the MP KO copied from a more exquisite source.

[@waynegriffin8667]

@@mechgouki7999 $120 USD equates to $197 AUD. Imagine the TT original, here? Yeah, 'non-inflated', scalping price would have been about $425. Ouch! Yeah no thanks, LOL. I'd prefer this V33-06, but do I really want both. Simply stating... "If I knew about this guy 1st, I would have snapped it up, rather than the MP-57 KO". Unlike the MP-57 KO, this seems to be well put together, and easier to transform. Most sections tab in without trimming any tabs or scraping some of the excess paint. Really looks like an interesting take on Skyfire. The MP-57 KO? Tolerances on the transformation, mainly due to the excess paint on that backpack, were ridiculously tight. It was to the point where it barely budges at 1st... At least with VincordorV33-06, I could easily flip it in 'alt-mode' and it would actually look half decent, unlike the gappy, incomplete look of MP-57. I know KO's can be hit and miss, but man, my MP-57 KO, was an outright miss! At least it's perfectly fine in 'bot-mode'.

[@mechgouki7999]

@@waynegriffin8667 Im not suggesting that Vincoroor is bad, but I am pointing out the manufacturer are selling it way higher than what it should be. As an oversized KO, I would expect 70 usd, 80usd tops. There is no justification for copying someones homework, making it bigger to charge more.

[@waynegriffin8667]

@@mechgouki7999 True, they are getting away with much higher prices nowadays, same with everything unfortunately.

[@markcarloestabillo5461]

Here in the Philippines, vincoroor costs around $70 while the ko MP57 costs $112. The original siege costs $299 from scalpers.

[@BoozyBeggar]

How do you change around the chest symbol? Mine came stock with decepticon mold on it, but I don't wanna put a D decal on him. EDIT: lol, nvm, figured it out, it flips like MP Tracks, or FansToys Seaspray v2

[@itsalectime]

Great review! Does anyone know if the new blast effects are still 5mm? Or larger?

[@TMReviews]

I think they are the same

[@bacproduction7186]

Does his chest square rotate like the original?

[@jjrivas3]

Mines otw! I hope and I think more likely we’ll see a sg Jetfire. I already sold my Siege versions of these guys. This one looks better and taller!

[@paullay9173]

Good review, alway enjoy your reviews. Wanted to know if the OS blast effect ports/pegs are the same size as the original Jetfire ports/pegs? Thanks.

[@TMReviews]

Thanks, the blast effects are bigger but the port is smaller, wierd

[@superrobotreviews]

Nice! Thanks for the size comparison! Hows them hips? Ya gotta change the title to Vincoroor...as I couldn't find your video right away.

[@TMReviews]

I was going by what is written on the box itself, showzstore listing "vincoroor" is a typo, you can see it's different in their product images

[@superrobotreviews]

@@TMReviews oh, let me check your unboxing... thanks!

[@TMReviews]

Hips are improved, they have soft ratchets

[@superrobotreviews]

I see, the other "O" is a "D"... letters are pretty similar looking. Good news with the hips .

[@TheReincarnatedDeath]

Awesome! Nice review. Does the stand also work on the bot mode? The handles don't go with MP's hanging on though as they grip with a peg instead of a closed hand. One improvement I hoped for for are the still missing antenna ears of the mask.

[@polarisrustinpeace1797]

Great job, Sony!

[@JamesonChooi]

I bought this. It is really huge! I don't know where to keep and hide it!

[@abtx8784]

How tall is he?

[@haroldcjennettiii]

Does he have 5mm ports?

[@gojiboy69]

This figure looks amazing! I am just curious since I don't have the original Siege Release. Does the scale fit well with mainline in your opinion? And do the blast effects fit Mainline Figures and vice versa (like Victory Saber's effects on this guy in a sense)?

[@TMReviews]

No and no, it was meant to scale with MP, too big for mainlinee

[@gojiboy69]

@@TMReviews I see, it does look cool regardless, not gonna lie

[@Takertron]

Would you consider this as good as they mp ko? I would love to have this on SG colores and the mp but maybe that repaint will never happen

[@TMReviews]

I'm hoping they do SG colors as well

[@DADooWALKER]

This company needs to do an over sized Sky Lynx!!!!!!

[@TMReviews]

Dang that would be awesome

[@donaldjackson4456]

I knew you would like it. I hope they do a shattered glass

[@Panzercommander121]

Been looking forward to this one! Wondering if it is worth replacing my siege one with this.

[@mechgouki7999]

I personally will not recommend it. At the risk of sounding like a broken record player, I have to say this over and over. This KO is more expensive than the original. Personally, I would not replace an authentic original with a bigger and more expensive counterfeit. It defeats the purpose of a KO to begin with.

[@TMReviews]

The purpose is the size, this is MP scaled and comes with more stuff. The price difference is less than $20 so that's a bargain to get an MP scaled Skyfire, the other two available MP options are more than double this price.

[@mechgouki7999]

@@TMReviews The Siege KO is 105, the MP KO is 125. At that pricing, the MP KO still appears to be the better choice. Both are copied homeworks, but the MP KO copied from a top student. I still stand by what I said. KOs more expensive than the original defeat their purpose of existing.

[@Panzercommander121]

@@mechgouki7999 I have both the official MP and FansToys Phoenix already

[@mechgouki7999]

​@@Panzercommander121Theres no reason you can't keep your siege. I have TWO siege, Magic Square, Newage unpainted, and the TNT oversized Iron factory. Im keeping them all. Personally I will not buy this to replace the original.

Damn it Sony!! I think you have just cost me money, once again. 😀

[@TMReviews]

Lol

[@mechgouki7999]

I really think it is Vincoroor. I still recommend against it because I have a very strict principle: KO MUST COST LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL.

[@mechgouki7999]

I personally highly recommend against getting this, reason being they should not be charging this much. As a general rule, KOs should be cheaper, NOT MORE EXPENSIVE than the original. Bumping up the size and using die cast parts is not a good excuse, especially if you are copying someone else's homework. Also, KO MP Skyfire costs 20 bucks more than this.. So you might as well get that one instead. I strongly condemn this one. KOs should not be more expensive than the original.
