Little bit of trivia: Gitanes is a French brand of cigarettes. Hasbro dodged copyrights by renaming it Citanes for the toy. The race car is known as the Ligier JS11 and it was indeed powered by a Ford Cosworth engine.

Their engineering is good, its the QC issues thats hurting them. The plastic quality has been hit or miss and as well as the paint, but as far as engineering, they're still the best imo.

Just for info, the smiling face only works with the alternate head. It does come apart, you just have to separate the halves. The one with the screw is just a little off for the face swap.

This is probably the best 3rd party mirage.

I love the complexity of the transformation and the paint aps all the details even though there is not a whole lot I mean it's g1 so it's not that bad it's awesome.

I'm normally pretty good at figuring out how a figure transforms on my own otherwise I just watch Emgo reviews or some other channel:D That mirage figure is awesome. Mirage best boy

You know, I've had MMC Sphinx for a couple of years, and I love it. But I gotta say, this guy does a couple of things better than that one does. Namely, the hand and head transformations on Sphinx kinda scare me, while this one looks much more likely to survive multiple transformations. As it is, I don't think I'll be clamoring to replace Sphinx anytime soon, but if I had missed out on him I would definitely snag one of these!

@@thatboiflumph Funny story...I received this figure by accident from them last week on my very first order with them, which is why i'm watching this video. I ordered the $20 AOYI MECH Nemesis Prime and they sent me this by accident. Even though this figure is worth more, I just wanted the figure I ordered b/c I don't collect MP's or anything of the sort so this figure is just completely out of place in my collection. Plus I believe in karma so I contacted their Customer Service department to report the issue. They offered to send me the figure I ordered and paid for but then proceeded to try and get me to buy this figure at a discounted price, which was still too expensive. When I declined their offer and asked for a prepaid shipping label to send back, they asked if I would keep it and ship it out for them if they could find another American buyer and they would reimburse me through Paypal and give me $5 dollars Credit towards my next purchase. At this point, i'm like WTF, absolutely NOT. That's the most ridiculous "favor" I have ever been asked as a Customer and this whole experience was a pain in my ass. Not only is a $5 Credit not worth my time effing with all of this but I would not want to purchase something from someone else who received the wrong item and is reshipping the product to me. There are all sorts of scenarios in which that could go wrong for both parties involved. A) They could have opened it and broke it or took pieces parts B) They could swap out the figure entirely C) They could just send you a bag of shit instead. D) It could get lost in the mail and you have to deal with that shit for both parties involved....Like I said...the possibilities are endless...and i'm not ordering from them again.....contact me if you have any questions....
