So its different than the smaller ones which seams to be decals to me? If that's what you mean then cool. I bought all 3 jets so looking forward to seeing them. Was very skeptical after the small Optimus I got as that seamed like decals and I figure the ink will fade if put into any sort of light and also start to peel eventually around the edges. I do get that an actual paint job of shading would be crazy expensive and put these out of most of our reach so we really appreciate what you are doing.
For me the shaded look was kind of cool but I would have preferred the metallic paint I think (at least on the small ones...if large ones are done differently (paint/decal/slides) then that waits to be seen....I see they left the factory so getting excited to see them). PCS has the better G1 look which is why I picked them. Other than just a couple from IA you guys did better molds and poses (though I wish the jets were a little different with legs/arms poses just to make them different next to each other). I also ordered Megatron and small Soundwave currently. ANT feel free to correct any misstatements here. Hoping to see some of these in next week or two and can't wait to see some new reveals from you guys.
I think IA did good with Optimus and maybe Rodimus and knocked it out of the park with Soundwave (think their Grimlock and Devy looks great as well but is way too expensive for us normal folk).
