    So I’m only just catching onto hype with this cause of some fanfic interest, just wondering on the expected release?

    Meh, one of my best decisions on my collector life was buying Hanzo. I knew FT would take all this time to release the figure, so I'm enjoying my Sixshot for a long time. :D 

    Also, this guy looks too thin. As a fan of Sixshot and Headmasters cartoon, I think sixshot is supposed to be brutal and massive. This guy looks too harmless. Maybe too soon to decide, but I dont feel necessity to swap Hanzo for Hydra.

    Will do! To be honest, I’m a bit surprised... was expecting the Quietus invoice. I wonder when they’ll send me the Hydra shipping notice, I guess that’s when I’ll finally believe it

    Maybe they got their invoices mixed up, cause Hydra is still scheduled for November...

    It kind of reminds me of rumor that went around a short while back about Quietus and Hydra being released at or around the same time.

    My Hydra preorder invoice was sent by mistake, according to tf-direct customer service;

    as expected, they meant to charge me Quietus’s remaining balance but somehow mixed up.

    Customer service also contacted their ‘supplier’ inquiring about Hydra’s release date but couldn’t get a release date. So there you have it, it was a false alarm.

    The hollow feet look terrible. Earlier photos obviously attempted to hide them.

    Questionable bits:

    Hollow ankles
    Ugly panel joints on the front of the biceps
    Thigh swivels not integrated into hip joint
    Arm-to-torso ratio looks odd (fat arms, slender torso)
    Weird joint halfway up the wings

    Glad I didn't get rid of my Hanzos yet. Will have to see them all in hand together to know which will be my MP SixShot.

    Not to de-thread in the spotlight on Hydra, there was hollow ankle/feet joints on Fuuma as well. G-creations did their best to hide the joints with shin flaps and maybe someone has forgotten a step (just like for Tigertracks /Sideswipe/Cordon/Red Alert when the panels are not folded properly)?

    I believe someone has forgotten to bring down the shin flaps for Hydra and I like the paint work. I can overlook the mid-way wing joints.

    Hmmm... If FansToys did the special paint edition for Hydra as they did to Phoenix, that will go like hotcakes.
