But really, Takara's bigger budget still enabled them to nail the toy deco better than Hasbro without even trying; they copied the shoulder decals, the blue-framed knee vents, and they even paid homage to the transformation switch on his chest. The places where it really differs, like the richer shade of blue, the blue-gray details on the waist, and the jet thrusters being painted in metallic black/gray, are simply where they took liberties to make it look better/more dynamic, which is how all toy decos should be approached, really.
