    You won't think it's so terribly cheap once you see the MSRP. 🫣

    I hope the JFS is the larger of the two. It looks sharper.

    Oh man, I had the left and right arms reversed. Good catch!

    Well, that's even more disconcerting. 🤨 Is this a first for "Studio Series," or have other figures from unrelated product lines simply been re-branded SS86? 😒

    As someone who didn't, and is just now getting a good look at the figure, I have to say it's a major disappointment compared to the rest of the "Studio Series" line. Remember what Hound looked like in the animation? Yolopark remembers: How come SS86 Hound is so... wrong? 🤨 We know it's not because of concessions for transformation, because we have Masterpiece Hound... and even if licensing issues prevent Hasbro from using a distinct Jeep design for the vehicle mode, that's no excuse for these robot mode proportions. Hell, the G1 toy was more cartoon-accurate! 😒

    The Urban Camo armor came with two sheets of stickers, but no waterslide decals.

    That certainly describes the movie design. 😅

    Yeah, that's the gorgeous AMK Pro Mirage, and he's their best work yet... They really knocked it out of the Yolopark. 👌

    Dammit, JFS, quit wasting talent and resources chasing NECA's shadow. You don't need Peter Weller's likeness; Murphy's already been done. Lewis, Clarence, and the gang are an absolute godsend. Stay in your lane, and give us more unproduced characters! If you've got MGM's ear, how about some classic James Bond action figures? Or Spaceballs!

    That bubblegum face! 😋

    I bought both cat and dog upgrade sets for my Transformers. 😉

    50 years obsessed with Star Wars minutiae, and there's still more to learn. 🤯

    It's impossible to express the depths of horror AI is capable of generating. 😱 Now, if only we can teach it to recognize aspect ratios... 🙄

    Touché, my friend. Guilty on all counts. 😅 Space constraints force me to squeeze displays of wildly different scales and themes right up next to each other. It's a chaotic mess of pop culture. 🫣 Heck, even when I manage to be consistent in scale and theme, my displays end up defeating each other... For instance, my Slave Leia (one of the most valuable TVC figures in the collection!) is almost completely obscured by Jabba's sail barge. 🤕 I greatly admire that pragmatism. I'm so sick-and-tired of buying the same characters over and over again because of slight improvements in sculpt or scale accuracy (or simply to acquire lesser-desired figures bundled together), but I'm a compulsive completist when it comes to Macross, Star Wars, Alien, RoboCop, Gremlins, Star Trek, Transformers... 😓

    You have such unique displays, thematically consistent yet totally irrespective of aesthetics or scale. Fascinating! Me, I just can't bring myself to display realistic figures with anime characters, much less figures that aren't perfectly to scale with each other... 😅 I have to say, though, that Phicen body is a very poor match for Slave Leia. It's the wrong size, the wrong skin tone, and the wrong build for 25 year-old Carrie Fisher. 🤨
