It's unreal and pathetic at the same time.
Hasbro blew it. The movie has been out there for 2 months. Of those 2 months, toys were available for 3 weeks.

I had absolutely no input on the matter and I think they might have improved the toy on accident. The painting of the "26" on the nose is great. The added painted stripes to the figure was terrific. The logo'ing on the side is slightly ticker and bigger.
I think the entire KO scene was getting a bad rep because of shoddy workmanship. With Swoop, some of the rocket launchers didn't fit to the wing properly. With the Black Prime I have ... the elbows were loose, etc ...
I think whomever made these really tired with Mirage. There's 1 semi-loose joint on the entire figure. (the waist twisty thing)
Otherwise, there are parts on there which are beyond tight. The arms stick. The spoilers stay up. The chest / nose piece doesn't flop when you pick the figure up.
