On my two copies you mean... How's the right knee on yours ? hows the blue in the bumper tab ? Transform it a few times and enjoy watching the paint fall off. How's the white seam down the middle of the bonet where they only sprayed the top surface ? enjoy sprue marks that warp the black vents ? I personally don't like gloss white next to unpainted off white plastic but the back half of the car is made up this way The design is brilliant. Up there with DX9 Carry but this is in no way as refined as Carry was and there are more than a few in this thread who are out of the set after Montana.
Fine Fine Transformed him dozens of times. Paint is fine. But I've been using human hands to transform him. Have you maybe been using lobster claws or something? Could have been better but hardly with throwing a hissy fit over. Now you're just making things up. Again, could have been better but the poor color match was there in all the reviews I saw, so you'd have to be some sort of disingenuous troll to buy the toy anyway, knowing that was going to bother you, and yet still complain about it. Maybe you should get out of the thread then? We've heard your beefs. No need to repeat them ad museum.
Man I'd sooner have a breakdown with a dozen different mismatched shades of white than that repulsive translucent fleshy color. Also notice how I observed the color issue from reviews, knew it would bother me, and then altered my buying decision accordingly? Cool trick huh? I'm thinking of teaching a seminar .
Pocket Toys and AOD (Art of Duplicates) are probably licking their chops, waiting to seize the opportunity.
Its annoys me how painfully quiet this thread has been. Dx9 as a whole annoys me. I dont own anything Dx9 (that i can think of...with the exception of Montana) and the only 2 items i actually am interested in (blue guardian robot and menasor) are the pieces they seem to be dragging their feet on!
I got mine today from baba on a flash sale and my copy is solid. I had to tighten a few screws here and there to stiffen up some joints but all in all I will probably keep these guys for bot mode and FT for combined or vice versa depending on future releases.
Glad im not the onoy one going fans toys and Dx9, i think FT will be my bot mode though ...who knows, ill probably alternate.
So i got my copy of montana. some of the tabs n stuff are a little (alotta) tight. and sense he comes in lambo mode I thought I broke him in the first transformation (the rear lift thingy). I had some barely visible paint scuffing on my copy but nowhere near as bad as anything i’ve seen on here. and if i wanna be nitpicky i could say that his heels may as well be separate pieces. cus they’re loose as can be. + I don’t have an ab crunch on mine because the chest is waaaaaay too tight to pull upward on. Other than those annoying things I think i’m still in on these so long as these are the worst issues will get. And for those wondering he does come w a lot of spare parts. spare doors, wheels, hood, elbows, spoiler. it really seems like dx9 knew this one would be...problematic. Hopefully they fix these on henry cus this easily wasn’t worth $90+. EDIT: got the ab crunch. i pulled him apart and to my genuine surprise a bunch of white plastic dust flew out (i didn’t order crackup lol get it). the hinge is so weak that the slightest breeze would make him bend a a 90° angle. so i just collapsed the abs a little and lost a significant amount of height which is a little lame because that was part of the appeal for me.
I didn't get any spare parts with mine...just figure, gun, instructions, bio card and his core thingy from that one episode.
Mine was from Kapow. It's fine, really nice to transform. The blue edging paint could be better in places, but otherwise, nice figure,.
Curious... how were the diecast heels on yours? Mine came out fairly floppy and I'm not certain how to tighten them up. If you tightened yours I'd be all ears to find out how you did it.
One of them is super tight the other is sorta loose but not loose in the sense if you lift the figure up it just falls down... I havent tried anything to tighten that one yet but it really doesnt need it since it holds up fine.
Did they ever make a oversized sideswipe? can anyone post a pic of this guy with oversized car bots? or maybe with regular prime/iron hide?? Cause this scales perfectly with the decepticons, maybe its just that the autobot car bots are out of scale? I always felt like the car bots were too short always looking prime in the robo balls...
