    Does Ranton/Magnus get released before or after Plissken?
    I'm still debating whether to get Ranton now or just wait for 2nd hand. For Magnus, all I want is just the cab, I don't have the urge to spend the full $56.99 for a Prime trailer on a Magnus cab. The Prime trailer make sense for either Dutch or Plissken, but not on a Magnus cab....decision, decision....

    Mine arrived today from ShowZ. I love the look of this figure, but boy are there some issues with it.

    As has been widely reported with Dutch, the panels that plug into the hips for truck mode have tabs that fit way too tightly.I needed a tool to pry them out, and that was with the legs completely disconnected. Then there are the tabs on the bottom of the torso that plug into the hips. I cannot plug mine in because the fit is too tight and there is nowhere on this $50 figure that I'd feel comfortable with applying the amount of force I think it would take to plug them in, nor the force it'd take to get them back out. These are issues that should be easily fixed with some sanding, but are glaring in comparison to the two figures I got from Magic Square Toys today.

    The positive news is that DX9 tweaked something with the rifle, as it fits snugly in his hands and trailer.

    Edit: I got the hip sockets replaced and now the legs don't fall off. This makes the figure a lot better.

    Hmmm. Is this worth getting or should I wait and hope Pocket Square does an improved 1:1 KO for less cost? PS is already doing a 1:1 KO of WIP Soundwave.
