Does anyone else's copy seem like the axes won't slot into the hands using the grooves?

My Striker can grip them well enough with just his fingers but it would be nice to have the added stability of the slots.

 

Word is there's some pretty neat stuff coming for the CD line but nothing public yet. Expect some neat announcements/reveals around TFCon time.

 

They can be a bit tough to get in. I think it may be because of the paint. I don't really have any tips, just slide it in how it should be put in. After a while, it should be easier to work with.

 

He's so damned photogenic, gonna have to get me a better camera!

 

Thanks, once I got them started they slid right in.

 

I really hope they have more CD figures coming out this summer and next fall. I'm anxiously waiting for their Seekers, PMOP, and anything else they want to show.

 

I finally got him with Not Megatron, they are just awesome. Love the style of Prime, like a renewal version of Henkei/Classics Voyager Optimus Prime, wich is one of my favorites Optimus.

 

can this guy use the Bandai Tamashii Nations Act.5

 

He's too large and heavy for the tamashii stages, about 7-8 inches tall and really heavy.

 

thanks for telling me

 

Ok, so I bought the BTS Trailer awhile back, and was frustrated that it couldn't attach to Manus... so I made a connector on shapeways that does the trick. It took me two tries to get it correct, the first version wasn't tall enough.

 

is it on shapeways as a thing you can buy?

 

No but I could email the file...

 

Why not throw it up on thingiverse so you don't have to mail it to people individually?

 

"Not Megatron"? What is this 2012??? No offense, but it so confusing when people say "not xxx" There are so many Megatrons out there. Which Megatron?

 

Good idea...

So... I like this mold. I'm really happy with Striker Noir. But, I'm not sold on it as Optimus, and I have KBB's MP10v and I kind of like it better as CHUG Optimus. On top of that, there's some other figures I really want to pick up... so I'm thinking about selling my Striker Manus, complete with the box, for $75 shipped in the US (lower 48).

 

I really want this figure but I don't like his gun and I want to leave his smokestack/axes on his shoulders. I don't want to buy striker noir just to get all the accessories I want with Striker Manus.

I wish Maketoys would sell an accessory kit for Striker Manus.

 

BBTS has this listed for 2Q release. Does anyone know of there being a more specific release date of the next run of Striker Manus?
