Mastermind Creations has updated their Planetsteelexpress.com site with preorders for their Ocular Max REmix01 Jaguar figure. This figure is a 1:1 scale version of a Masterpiece inspired G1 Ravage previously seen at TF Con Chicago back in October. The listing not only includes some final product images of the figure, but notes that they will be fulfilling preorders within the next week.
You can check out the images and join the discussion thread after the jump!

ShowZ claimed that they would re-list my green Ravage over a month ago and never did.
Anyone interested it for $90 shipped, which is the price that they would have resold it for?
Open box (Obviously, to check the color) but otherwise like new.

Update: the shipping never updated after that and I never got it. Today the great people at ShowZ refunded my account so I have a ton of points to burn if MMC ever decides to reissue a proper black Ravage

Toyhax should make some orange stripe stickers to make this into Cringer.

Bingo.

they may have used the image from Ravage (G1) to base the colors on.

Relieved that i bought these for painting into glit and stripes, but hopefully they don’t make this error again.

Bkdono is right. Any amount of green is too much.

No one has been saying it's right or accurate so idk what your point is. Lighting will absolutely influence just how much of the green you actually see.

Agree that color is dependent on lighting, duh. I'll post a color pallette of mmc's image and an in hand pallette pic once I get enough posts to be allowed to post pics.
That said, nothing is going to change the fact that a toon accurate color scheme should never include any hues of green in it. So, lighting and number of cones and rods in our eyes is not the issue, the color is wrong.

I know that a lot of collectors go for toon accuracy, but in the case of this Ravage I genuinely believe that the black and silver (based on the toy colours) would be the more popular one. Yet for some reason they keep reissuing the 50 Shades of Grey version.

I just really wonder wth MMC used to colour reference this toy. It's off in all iterations.

Well, apart from the green/not green debate, I ordered the reissue back then thinking it looked better and more accurate than the first one. In hand it wasn't for me, which suprised me TBH.

Lightingggg.
It's a grey with a green hue, no amount of kneejerking will change that.
To illustrate this further, and this is what lighting does:
Mine on the left, taken at night in warm light artificial light conditions. Grey with a green tint.
Yours on the right, taken in daylight. Grey with a turquise tint.
They're both moving towards the green, the lighting, especially yellow light, will make it appear much greener to our eye.
The tint is still off, it should be in the cold, more neutral blues, so MMC did mess that up, but they messed that up long ago and not enough people noticed.
Bkdono
It's forest green. No amount of backtracking or cope is gonna change that.

Just makes MMC look worse. They dumped all of this on retailers. If I didn't love their combiners (who magicallly manage to be the right colour) I'd wish for their failure. This is a poor show @MMC
