If it's a show-accurate represnetaion of the guy that can faithfully break down into the following components/forms (Star Saber, Victory Leo, Saber, the V-Atar, and the Brain of Courage), I may then be sold on this!

Would be nice if it were an actual figure though

that price for 3rd party voyagers you listed is like 2 to 3 times higher than they actually cost.
please go to BBTS.com & check out the prices on 3rd party voyagers.

Like what? Scout-sized FPs are $45-50. PE's are barely above Legend if that and run $30-40.
Knightmorpher might be considered Voyager and runs $100 and is a lot less complex than a Star Saber or Victory Leo would need to be. X-graver is maybe hovering b/t Deluxe and Voyager and people are bitching about paying $80.00 for it. Sonicron is only $60 but most people think (if it doesn't get some major mods before full release) it's a QC PoS. If $250-300 is 2X-3X higher, as you think, you seriously think you're gonna get quality 3rd-party Voyagers for $40-75 each? That would be awesome but I'll believe it when I see it. It's full-on design, not just retooling existing molds like iGear's Seekers (which is no slag on iGear, I think those are sweet).

I'll only buy the toys if their both voyager size that form a leader sized robot.
If their both deluxe size then I won't bother buying them. WHY? Because starsabre has to many combining gimmicks withing himself to squeeze into a deluxe sized toy.
if the starsabre toy was/is deluxe size,then it look & function just as horrible as the robot masters version.
a deluxe 3rd party starsabre toy would mean the following:
(1)a regular jet/bot toy that is smaller than a basic & around legends size. (2) a jet booster/exo-suit that is deluxe size.
(3)a brainmaster that is smaller than the original 1989 brainmaster. most likely so tiny,the details/sculpt & poseability are not that great. (4) a deluxe sized starsabre would mean certain features the 1989 toy had would be absent in the deluxe. as the more the the toy is the more harder it is to fit everything from the original in the new mold when doing updated homages.
I can understand not a lot of us fans have the money to buy the 3rd party TF toys. but to wish for a INFERIOR product just to save a few bucks makes no sense. I'd rather see the most SUPERIOR product get made. If I can't get it now,I can always save up for it & get it one day in the future.
WHAT I'M Worried about is the Victoryleo armor that goes on this 3rd party starsabre toy. I'm worried they go the SCF pvc route & merely include armor pices of victoryleo. without any way to snap the victoryleo armor pieces together to form a victoryleo lion & robot modes.
My solid guess this 3rd party starsabre, it'll be a voyager or bigger sized 3RD party toy. my guess is the victoryleo armor parts will increase the starsabre toy from voyager to $27 usa ultra size,maybe leader size.

don't put words in my mouth. being happy with something and wishing for something are two different things.
also, did you read my caveat, which you quoted: "(though he'd be tiny!)"?
and why the f**k are we arguing over a low-res piece of line art associated with a rumour?
does the interent always have to be stupid?
