shopafx.com- For those collectors who are fans of the G1 Jetfire/Skyfire character, and like to collect busts, this one's for you!

This is of course the second available Jetfire bust from Diamond, One without armor, one with battle-damaged armor that will be available this summer at the San Diego Comic Convention. We knew there was an exclusive battle-damaged Jetfire bust, but now know that it is exclusive to this convention.

You can have a look at Action Figure Express' listing for it here, priced at $59.99.

It's a shame the one without the armor has such a terrible face sculpt.

What? Have you never seen Skyfire's face before?

I have. And he doesn't look like thatin the cartoon or comic. If you just look at the face of the bust it does look like Kup.

Ehh, yeah, kinda. Given a few wrinkles, he would. But no designer is perfect.

That's half a toy. I'm sorry, but i'll never be buying a bust.

It wouldn't be a modern transformers toy without the Dull Surprise (tm) look.

So it is only half the robot, it doesn't transform, it has no articulation, and it's busted up! Sounds like something from a bargain bin at a flea market not a convention exclusive. Can't they get something decent like a redeco Legends figure?
