    See Bots and Bits post below. The the MP-03Ghost hands aren't a true match. Beyond this there aren't any KFC fully articulated hands that exactly match the YM07C purple clear seeker. KFC apparently makes hands that match official MP products so if the KO version/repaint was never actually available as an official version then there won't likely be any KFC hands available. Only @ibot from KFC/XTB can tell us if such hands are coming.
    @Bots and Bits were you ever able to fix your YM07C leg yet?

    Yes and no. The knee required replacement, which I was sent quickly by the store owner. Unfortunately they sent the wrong knee haha! So I mixed & matched the parts and it is now back together in bot more. The incorrect knee however prevents the leg collapsing, so no jet mode ever again.

    Just received all 3 YM coneheads in the mail. Great figures, good quality, no problems whatsoever! Love the inclusion of so many optional weapons! Dunno what the mini-knee bits are for. Can't decide which heads to use but so far I'm sticking with the silver ones as I think they look a little better, being unique to each character. The white-face heads are pretty good too though, and possibly more cartoon accurate...either way is cool

    Even then the paint may vary with KO's. I got KFC hands for Skywarp to go with my KBB Skywarp and the coloring is just a tad off after I placed them on. Not a deal-breaker, but if you're anal about the details...

    They're optional, but you need to glue them on, so it's a permanent change.

    That's because kbb is based off the mp-07 deco and is toy accurate

    Right, but I'm talking about the KFC hands. The figure is fine as a KO. The color of the KFC replacement hands, though, doesn't match up to the correct shade of purple if you're swapping them out.

    He's just specifying that KBB is based off MP-04 Skywarp. Where as KFC is MP11SW coloured. There is a substantial colour dif between the two MP's.

    Is YM going to offer an Acid Storm at some point? I never got the TRU version and would like to get another shot at one.

    Ahh. I hope you are able to get it fully fixed so you can do a final thoughts video segment.

    You can just use a bit of tacky putty if you're just posing them on a shelf.

    Ah gotcha! ;)  I thought the KBB ones were also based off of MP-11, guess it's just the body and not the paint, which sucks then. Comparing it with my Walmart MP Skywarp, the hands are still a shade darker though.

    Thanks, never knew this. All pictures I saw pre-release did not show null rays. Definitely didn't know they came with all this. I wonder if a sweet deal is to be had somewhere on all 3...

    How about $265 for all three?

    rubadubspawn 3P Deals

    I've bought through this guy many times and in fact bought all three of these from his supplier..

    Edit: if you do get them though, don't forget to check out bots and bits fix to Dirges shoulder. I forgot about it and just transformed mine for the first time... Left arm sheared right off :(

    Didn't know about the shoulder issues on Dirge either. Watched the vid for the fix, can't say that looks fun but thank you for sharing that info!

    The shoulder fix was a cinch to do. Don't let it scare you. I did it right out of the bax and have never had any issues. Still well worth it.
