What figure are you talking about?

A seller from Hong Kong had some. It's a TRU exclusive over there.
I know this, but I can't pull it up in the search results, even as a Sold Listing. All I get is the cards

Although they did use some of that "shampoo bottle" plastic with this one, too, I think. But he still feels fairly hefty.
Some steps of his transformation are really fun and innovative. If you've been buying Transformers consistently for the past several years you can see how the HasTak designers keep coming up with new tricks, it's impressive. I quite like the wing transformation, and how his feet fold (expected it to be like Megatron but instead they fold very compact.) The boosters transformation is also pretty neat. Or how they kept the shape of his nosecone in robot-mode but still allow some waist rotation. The compression of his backpack.. it's all great.
Was worth avoiding "spoilers."
(And of course rotating symbol and port-less open hands.)
Love that they included lots of guns in addition to the one specified in his model sheet -- and even that one can split into two rifles! I like that they kept the "Jetfire" armour gimmick. And I finally have some Siege effects! Didn't expect them to be made of that kind of rubbery plastic though. Wish they were more glassy and transparent like those other effects I got from HLJ a few years back. (Now I need purple effects for the Decepticons!)

Dagnabbit! I tried all kibds of combinations that should have pulled up in the listings for me. I knew he'd be on there as soon as we got the News he was in Hong Kong. Oh well, probably wouldnt have pId the extra markup. More just bugged that I knew this was out there and I cpuldnt make it come up in the Searches

I understand it's personal preference, I just haven't seen anyone else say they aren't that interested. Everyone seems to be drooling over these. Maybe once I see them in stores myself, I'll see what the big deal is.
