    Cool thanks for the link. Hopefully they'll do another discount after Thanksgiving since I was away from the internet till just now and the discount just ended 2 minutes ago. Seems to be my luck today. Just glad I'm almost done with today.

    Was yours supposed to come with the card? If so, you might want to contact the seller.

    Has anyone taken apart Prowl's head before? My copy has some extra plastic around his right eye that partially obscures his eye. I want to trim the plastic, but I want to take his head apart so I don't accidentally scratch up any part of his face or eye in the process. I tried taking the screw out of the back of his head, but I can't seem to get the head to come all the way apart - it separates at the top but I can't get it to come apart at the bottom.

    Any suggestions?

    I’m just coming back to this thread after a few weeks. Is that line on the face kind of like a vertical scar on his cheek. If so I have the same problem. I’ve reached out to the seller about it.

    Yes exactly. I think it’s how the face is molded but they didn’t put enough paint on to hide it. From a distance it’s hard to see but close up it’s pretty ugly.

    This thread getting bumped reminded me that I've been waiting ages on TCP to get this in stock, so I sent them email to see if they expect it soon. Here's hoping.

    Man, I would just cancel and get it off Ebay. I've had mine for a month now.
    TAKARA TOMY TRANSFORMERS MP-17+ PLUS PROWL with COIN MASTER PIECE ACTION FIGURE 4904810102281 | eBay
    Unlike TCP shipping is free and the coin is even included. Even cheaper if you buy during the next Ebay flash sale.

    I really don't know what's up with TCP not having this in stock at this point.

    I would cancel it if I hadn't already paid for it when I ordered (I ordered when it dropped everywhere else). There's no real rush to get it either since it'll sit in my Stash till I get enough items to qualify for the free shipping, which won't be soon since nothing of interest is dropping soon.

    There is a pin (located at the base of the neck) that needs to come out before the head comes apart.

    It is not an easy thing to do though as you need a steady hand and a pin puncher.

    Eye paint definitely tends to scratch easily in my experience, so do be careful.

    Interesting--I got mine from TFSource, and it was also listed as the "Hasbro" release, and there was no sleeve!

    Really? It is taped shut. I have one available (sale pending) but did not want to open since I thought that was the actual box.
