I think this product deserves it's own thread. I ordered one off eBay after receiving some eBay gift cards for my birthday
Box was pretty beat up but one look at the box and I could already tell that this is a high quality product. The nice graphic art in the front of the box. The really nice product shot pictures plastered all over the back. Styrofoam, not environmentally friendly but most high price collectible are packed in these styro coffins.
Right out of the box, it's just nice and hefty. This isn't just a simple over sized Knock off. They reengineer and added diecast parts to this figure. The wheels are also rubber instead of just plastic. Chrome parts and really nicely painted. Here is a comparison with the original figure.
Well the original I am using is slightly different because I swap parts from another evasion mode Optimus to make it more screen accurate.
So the top picture, the newly engineer part allows for the wheels to swing up and attached to the thighs. Here is a picture of the configuration similar to the original look holding the newly added weapon, the axe and the sword. He comes with his two energy swords the axe and a shield. Oh, also the unmasked face which I like better than the battle mask version. Slight paint rub on the alternate face but not too bad.
More comparison shots:
I like this a lot. They took a regular toy and made it into a high end collectible/masterpiece by adding metal parts, rubber tires, more paint apps and chrome parts to it. Reengineered new parts and added small transformations to the figure. Definitely a easy route for 3P company to take and there should be a market for these. Just take existing regular toys and improved them into masterpieces.
