TF Yuki is one lucky dude! Official release via online is "late December" The wait is killing me!

I may actually trade their guns though so that the Hasbro version gets orange and the Takara version gets black. I think that might look nifty.

Yeah, it's the warmer/more red hew of the lighting used in those pics I think. It brings out deeper tones in the orange. It's still going to look different from that in hand though, and I suspect that until someone like Ryan gets more professional shots of the Takara version up via his galleries side-by-side with the Hasbro version, we won't have a clear comparison between the real differences between them as far as what they'll look like in hand.

Yeah, it's because most of it is on the back I guess. It does highlight some nice details though and breaks things up a bit (like with the vtols on his back which I pointed out earlier).

Unless someone shoots an item on a hi res cam like Ryan's you can hardly tell the quality of the fig. Just like the 2 contrasting sources, amiami and TF Yuki. The former has more subdued colors while the latter has very bright banana yellow.

I'm liking the look of the Takara figure more and more. I'm still not keen on the all orange weapon, and if I'm honest I wish the coloured parts of the rotors matched the wings. But I'm being picky. Will still buy, easily.

Nice recreation of that funny G1 episode.

Let me just say, at 1366 x 768, the pics posted makes Sandstorm look too much orange but the actual fig using my natural optic resolution , the orange kind of looks more like a simulated metallic material (uses an orange plastic with specs of silver). The yellow parts too aren't that garish to look at. The original source must have been using a too much high pixel capacity camera.........so hi def that it beats the human eye in processing the details.
So for those on the fence, get him now while available (at hobbysearch 'cause he is all sold out at amiami)
Only complaints I have is that his head is kind off loose at the neck joint.
