I had wanted to preorder him, but I missed out. Then I saw the first pics of him out of package and was somewhat relieved I missed it. Now that I see him with the mistransformed chest, the stickers plus the Arms Micron creating wings...I want him BAD. Bad.

I suppose my distance from the line gives me a perspective that you might not share. What I see when I look at pictures of the AM Smokescreen toy is a shoddy, unpainted, overpriced toy being presented as a "model kit" of a character that it bears little resemblance to.

Your expectations seem to have been satisfactorily lowered enough that you're happy with what's being presented. And that's fine.

I see "unpainted low-grade plastic", and you see "show-accurate pearl white color".
To each his own.

Sabrblade's point, I think, is that we knew from the getgo that it would be a retool of the Knock Out mold. They were clear on that. With that in mind, what we got is about what we should have expected.
