I am unsure about that. The PO on Anime-Export has diecast listed.

Could it mean there is a difference between Japan release vs US release?

BBTS listing says plastic only

I would hope not...these releases are usually the Japanese iteration and not some Hasblo-version sold to the TRUs and etc. in the NA market.

Masterpiece is not a diecast line. Sad but true.

This looks so nice. Big and chunky! Almost a playset sized.
Given the convoluted history of the original toy & character, it's Hilarious how they've kept the Valkyrie/Veritech nods added into the design and ad, LOL!

Still love my BT Subaru Smokescreen.

Love it in vehicle mode, not so much in robot mode (even though that's how it is displaced this whole time). A little oversized, but still fit in decent with the rest of my MPs. But yeah, haven't bought any MPs for a good while. This Skyfire is no exception. It will take a lot of innovations and ground-breaking to get me back into the MP line again, unfortunately.

But I don't trust Takara whatsoever, especially after MP44 Optimus knees, and Starscream & Hound's brittle plastics. I'm happy with my Fans Toys Phoenix.
