Of course, I'm still waiting for FE Prime, Bulkhead, and Cliffjumper.

The windshield isn't, but the chest still is. Looks terrible, too. The F.E. one might be a big cheat, but it's a good looking cheat.

It's worse than I imagined.

I dunno. Get the F.E. in hand, then compare this... PRID's pretty terrible.
I love how the artwork on the box is show accurate, while the figure inside isn't even close. You can even see where his chest isn't the right color.

Still, this is frustrating, we in Holland have to ebay almost everything so I always have extra costs
It doesn't look that bad.

And before someone chimes in about them never showing up in Europe, yes I'm sorry about that, really. At the least if they make it stateside they'll be more available for importing overseas. Though even in Canada not everyone can find them easily from what I gather, so my hopes are not high that this will be happening soon.
I have a solution, the Takara versions. That#s what I'm doing at least.

I have the First Edition, and I still think this one's not terrible or even bad, just not as good. If the First Editon didn't exist we wouldn't be hating this one as much.

That's true, we probably wouldn't be complaining as much. Though, you'd see a lot of kitbashers working on mods to make him more show accurate.
There is ONE thing I will give the PRID version over the FE... PRID's almost gapless in vehicle mode. FE...no matter how hard I try, the nose of the cab/arms and roof/feet, are always slightly gapped. Holds together just fine, but the gap's large enough that you can see the innards if you look hard enough.
Those things kinda bug me.
