Sweet galleries. Like how Inferno looks. Just wish they found a way to add those white fins like the original.
Which of the Jazz reissues is the closest to the original, TFC or Encore?

Inferno looks like his back fell off.

I wish I had my original Inferno. I don't know about the new one though. I have to look at him when I see him in stores.

Can't wait for Inferno!!!

He needs a ladder, but that can be fixed.

Spike & Sparkplug, not so much.

Jazz and Sideswipes G2 variations have always been very, very high on my wanted list, along side G2 Starscream and Ramjet. G2 (especially in Starscream and Jazz's cases) managed to get away with so many gaudy recolours\sticker sets.

It's a shame that E-Hobby won't do a G2 variation for the Encore lines. :-(

Just out of curiosity, what are you using for your lightbox? I'm currently taking photos of my Citadel Miniatures collection (some for sale, others for promotional since I'm thinking of starting up doing commissions)

Wow, I think Spike and Sparkplug need less closeups.

They seem to be better viewed from a distance.

When it comes to Sparkplug and Spike, perhaps removing the camera lens altogether may be a better idea. Image

Ps - Seibertron\Ryan. The smilies link for that icon [above] doesn't work. I used an [img] code link for it.

I do like the colors on 25th Inferno. That is a much better red than the red on Prime, or many others.

I'll stick my neck out and say that Inferno actually looks more like Optimus Prime that most recent efforts at the Prime himself. :lol:

The burgundy is just sublime, though. They use so many shades of cherry red\pink these days, its shocking. Why don't they just use a deep orange like in G1?

Actually Spike and Sparkplug are awesome. They are really small, so you can't really make out their feture with the naked eye. In the pics they are zoomed in on a ton. They look waaaay better in person.

Those are some nice looking galleries. I really am loving how the 25th annversery G2 Inferno is looking! I still got the Original G2 Inferno I had as a kid (missing his right fist) and he is by far one of my favorite Autobot's. The colours they have used for this new version are beautiful, they look amazing and I can't wait to add him to my classics/universe collection!

The Witwicky's look horrible. How can this be the same company that made the City Commander set?

I'd like to see you paint figures that size and have them come out perfect.

Spike and Sparkplug are under an inch tall. Additionally when seen normally (without the 12x macro zoom lens) you probably won't even be able to tell there anything wrong with them.

They are good for what they are meant to be.

Loving Inferno.

Those pics of the Witwickys are only zoomed in a little bit. It's the fact that I crop all of the large photos for this site that makes the images so large and brings out the detail so much. I think my camera is a 7 mega pixel. I love how it let's you see things on small figures that you would otherwise never notice. For size comparisons, you guys should look at the pics of the Witwickys with Optimus Prime.

The Witwickys are made by Impossible Toys. The City Commander set is from FansProject. Two totally different companies. The Witwicky figures are about as good as you'll get with that much detail on figures that tiny.

My mistake. Still the size of the raw images allows for the final cropped images to have that level of quality where you can see the fine detail on the tiny figures.

I'm sure those paint bleeds, and Spike's nose deal, are very hard to even make out if you are just looking at them normally.

And yes, forgot to say they are different companies.
