Given that this is 3rd party and the standards
required demanded among the bellyachers are fluid makes me wonder why all the praise when this figure is so plain/simple and anime accurate?
Anime accurate based on 3rd party standards that is! Barely a panel line or detail aside from those we saw in the marvel/Sunbow show.
Nope! Not dissing on this because I actually own this piece of 3rd party engineering marvel! Sometimes, it's simplicity that makes a beautiful a product!
Yet we get 1st party very
unwarranted criticism (cough...........WJ, Shockwave (yup, the colors again), the Fuso brothers) on how "simple" the MP line has headed by adapting the Dery style of rendering.
Well look at where it got K/Cronus (remember that disaster?) of which I was an early supporter of wishing it would be da ONE. It had lot's of bling (compare that too the plain surface of Phoenix) but forgot to make it durable/transformable and simply, well enjoyable to play with.
Now, if Takara would also dip their mitts into the Jetfire bandwagon and design their own and top this....I'd be getting myself another one!
So keep it simple folks! And be consistent with your criticism too
