Also how are you getting these in hand so super early ? Are you paying crazy ebay prices from factory insiders ? Or are these promotional figures directly from Hasbro ?

Are you sure? Skydive had lightning bolts on his wings in the cartoon, which the Takara figure has while the Hasbro figure doesn't. Though the G1 toy had them too, this just makes Takara's version both show- and toy-accurate while Hasbro is accurate to neither.Rated X wrote:I notice the Hasbro jet limbs sport more G1 cartoon accurate decos on their wings.

And Fireflight's cartoon model used its toy's blue and yellow wing stripes, but made them thinner. Hasbro's Firefly uses the toy-accurate thick stripes while Takara's Firebolt uses the show-accurate thin stripes.
And though they're not shown in these galleries, Hasbro's Air Raid uses the G1 toy's silver/red/yellow wing stripes while Takara's Air Rider uses the show model's simiplified solid white stripes.
Takara's are definitely the more show-accurate in regards to wing decos.

Maybe the Tomy/Takara version will be anime accurate?
