    Talked to Baba myself yesterday and today the parts are in a package ready to go. And yup, @Partsformer is correct: no charge!

    Now that's how you can keep a customer happy!

    That's a great seller. I think I might have to jump ship and go with him on future stuff.

    Yeah, he's a good'un for sure. Another example: this past year he briefly offered the first four Unique Toys Headmasters sets as a bundle (and for a great price too -- I think $110 or something close to that for the four). I messaged him and asked if he would be willing to sell just the Chromedome/Weirdwolf, which was the only set I was missing and had become hard to find. His answer? Sure no problem -- 33 shipped!

    Yup I tell ya, that Baba is good'un.

    Edit: Oh and no disrespect to Hzj401. I use him a ton too and will continue to do so, especially since Baba doesn't have MST stuff as of yet.

    Anyone got picks of Dutch or Plisken with the legend sized component of Maketoys Thunder Erebus, or Thunder Manus?

    Excellent photos comparing these two legends prime was just what I was looking for. Thanks very much, Rewind. I'm surprised to see that Dutch is taller than the Thunder Manus Prime. I had been thinking about getting Thunder Erebus to square off as nemesis prime against dutch... but maybe I'll wait for a Nemesis version from Magic Square now instead.

    Yeah it's weird, in my head Dutch was smaller so when I put them next to each other I was surprised to see it was the other way around. Both excellent figures.

    I just want to add to the chorus of "these new hips make a huge difference". I'm still frustrated with the figure, and the fact that even with new hips you have to sand down the leg pegs to make it transformable, but at least the thing holds together now.

    Are the figures stores have currently first or second run? Don't want gimp hips, if anyone knows a seller who has the fixed version, where can I get him?

    Tf-Direct has the replacement hips... there's no run that has the replacement hips already in placed... you need to ask to have them, they'll come in a separated bag like the video above your post.

    Waiting for hzj to restock the hip replacements. Had them in my cart during the last eBay sale but while selecting other items from hzj they sold out.
