yeah that is what i was referring to @Max Tower. Everything tabs in, but the middle caves in similar to the original stock photo that was all discombobulated. However, if you tab the gun in it's rock solid. I'm not holding my breath on this set finishing out, although, it does make me optimistic about a good MB KO or a Wei Jiang/Jinbao OS version of it. Like the KO Feral Rex and Warbo, once we saw one, they all started coming out of the woodwork. We may have some options in the near future (all speculation, of course).

Meanwhile, I've been playing with this guy more than any of my other TFs since I got him in.  

 

Are there listings on eBay for this? I haven't been able to find any.

 

a page or two back there's a link to an ebay seller.

 

I could dig a KO OS Gravity Builder, but I'm gonna wait to see if WeJang tries it like the did with Rex & Warbotron.

 

He's 215g on a cheap kitchen scale.

 

is that good or bad?

 

light is good for combiners imo. he is light.

 

I dunno light means less material so weaker joints meaning potentially quicker wear and more chance of breakage. I get how it could be easier to pose but if he slips and pops a tab it's a lot of wasted cash. if heavy toys are sliding around for you I find cheap stick on rubber works great. it's pennys at most hardware stores typically used to stop door drafts or as anti slip furniture feet etc.

light can be better, but not necessarily. For combiner legs/feet, I'd prefer them to be a bit on the heavier side, though. Especially at the feet.

 

Now I wonder how much a pack of smokes is in China...
aaaannd the lingering question, why in the hell does no one over there cut their damn finger nails. I mean, I get it if you are keeping a coke nail, but not all of them. Poor hygiene IMO.

 

Looks great, glad to see the hands are still articulated.

 

Where do you see long fingernails?

 

Scavenger looks good. I'll probably buy him for the more artculated wrist

 

yeah.. those nails aren't too bad. I've seen much, much worse

Head isn't there in alt mode?

 

So here's a question I've been considering since seeing these new prototypes. I don't recall us ever seeing them for Scraper. Could this mean that even though Scraper was mostly "okay" by the reports I've read, that with this one they're trying to step their game up a little bit?

Or am I just wishful thinking here.

 

probably wishful thinking, but that's not necessarily a bad thing   Looking at the joints in those protos, they look similar to scrapper.

 

Agreed. Just the fact that Navvy can hide his head is already a great start for me. I can't wait to see how they treat the others, specifically Crane and Bulldozer.
