I'm ready. I have a hard time believing it will be released this soon though.

Re: Daca Toys Kronos (Jetfire) up for preorder

Am I allow to say this thing looks very ugly? Or maybe just the bad pose? Looks like a dead body especially when u lay him down like this. But it's huge for sure, 31 CM... Might be a good MP level figure.

Veeerry Interesting...

So, aside from shitty head replacements for G1 Jetfire and MP-10 has Daca Toys made anything else?

Agree with Pascal. January 2014 seem improbable.

Nope. This was my comment on their FB page.

Personally I would rather watch my $165 burn than buy this. Classics Jetfire looks better than this and this is just not doing it for me as an MP.

^Agree with above comment...

It's nice but the price is a bit steep considering there isnt much paint going on. Ugh, tfs have gotten inflated in price too much..... anyone else feeling this "wallet" fatigue?

Well, that's exactly how he looks like in the cartoon.

This is what the designer replied:

normally takes 60 days for the tooling and 10 days for the assambly

I still find it optimistic. No mention of packaging design/production, shipping from overseas, QC, etc.

60 and 10 are numbers that occur in a perfect world. If 3P has taught me anything it is that their worlds are not perfect. As with ALL 3P figures, I expect this to be late.



Hey, if not, kudos to them.
