Daca Toys Kronos (Jetfire) up for preorder

[Stapler]

At a glance he looks pretty dull. Maybe its the photos but he's just screaming for some colour to break up all that white and really liven it up.

Like I said, that render is missing several paint apps, starting with the head.

But that's just some distorted fan art, isn't it? You also have to consider transformation. The designer already mentioned the shoulders can't be bigger because of it, but he kinda let us know the figure will be sold with anime-accurate extra parts, much like what the Soul of Chogokin does with some figures.

Ok so I've read all these posts agree with some parts and don't with others ... go figure.

So looking at the render from daco I agree something was off more than just the color!

Just some (2) minor mods in my opinion

1. Bigger Head
2. bigger gap between the torso and hip.

I played around with the image and came up with this.


Orig




Modified (some color added too)





With just 2 changes it looks way better, IMHO

I tell you, if they could find a way to extend, thus angeling, his two chest pieces AND fix dem feet. I as well as the other two things mentioned above; we may actually have a winner here.

Yeah it's fan art, but my point was to show what proportions looked better IMHO. If the shoulders can't be bigger because of the design, then that's a limitation of the design. But that doesn't mean there can't be a better design that has bigger shoulders and generally better proportions.

If the figure right now tickles you in all the right places, more power to you. But for me, it's doesn't crank my chain in the right way enough to make me spend $165 on it.

For $165 ..i'm surprised i havent seen more hate mongering like we saw for the FOC Ultra MAgnus add-on kit. That was going to be a trailer, extra armour, big ass guns,, and they even had extra pictures. This one has a 3D fricking mockup. weird. Anyway for 165.. i'm pretty sure i can get myself a full skull squad Vf-1, which will remind me of better days.

Kinda off-topic, but is it still considered "fan art" if it's drawn by a professional artist who normally draws for TF comics and package-art? The signature(s) on the pic Dan Khanna's.

[Pascal]

Distorted nonetheless.

Interesting, but not sold yet will have to see the finished version before I decide to get it or not.
