    I'm in the midst of watching the review: Damn! Sweet review (I have just reached the winged wolf mode), sweet pose of him with the dual guns.

    Much appreciated TJ! I'm seriously considering picking him up now after your review

    I am a big MMC fan (I have pretty much everything except the Red Optimus Prime), but the retailers in my country are offering this figure at 200USD, and that's why I will not be buying this. Not sure why MMC's reasoning is, perhaps they have an exclusive agreement with the North American retailers.

    Thanks!

    APril is coming SOON!

    I haven't checked out any of the Trailerforce reviews yet, but I need to. On the fence on it. And, thanks!

    Hey, thanks man.

    Agreed!

    This guy... he knows his stuff.

    Yea man, everyone has their personal standards, and no one's is wrong! Hopefully there's eventually a version of Sixshot that's more towards your tastes at some point!

    And thanks!

    Same!

    Hell yes!

    Nice! Thanks for watching!

    Hey, thanks for watching Zy, and I appreciate the kind words.

    Dang... where are you located (if you don't mind)?

    Thanks for the review man. I had put this guy on the back burner in order to afford other stuff but your review made me promptly repreorder this guy. It also helped when I realized that this masterpiece is only about 30 bucks more than Hardbone but much larger and more complex.

    Hexatron is easily my most anticipated figure for this year and I have been wondering when your review would go up TJ, been checking frequently ever since you first posted pics in the supah cleah thread. Dare I say he may be the first 3rd party Transformer that has looked, does look and just is 100% worth any price-tag put down on it.

    Did he get the metallic paint treatment a la Cyclops & the seekers? Hard to tell on my phone.

    TJ scores an exclusive. Great job.

    Enjoyed the review, enjoyed your enthusiasm but it needs to be said, do not discuss pricing. lol (j/k)

    You have just made the wait for this guy that much more difficult. At $130 I agree with you, once this guy sells out his price is going to rocket. In regards to 3P value, this is easily AT LEAST a $180 figure (MINIMUM!!!!).

    Thanks for the exclusive look TJ.

    Thank you for the review, TJ.
    Just to make this clear, in pictures Hexatron/Sixshot has landing gears. Does the prototype have them? I saw the whole video but maybe I missed that...

    My only small little wish so far is that MMC finds a way to secure those sheaths in place when it is in alt-mode =)
    That would make it reaches near perfection *_*

    Okay, this went like this for me:

    First picture: I think I want this

    First in hand comments: yes, I think I want this.

    Recently: Not sure I want this, because I don't really care about Sixshot and I'm already buying too much this year.

    TJ's review: Hell, I ABSOLUTELY WANT this...!!!!

    I am assuming that the feet are plastic? Didn't see a mention of die cast. Hoping the legs are heavy enough that he doesn't have balancing issues.

    Thanks for the review TJ! I thought I could pass on this, but it looks too awesome to resist. My only problem is I'll want to get Greatshot as well! :/ :lol 

    EDIT: Also, you didnt mention in your review if the wolf's feet were articulated. It looks like there may be a pin at the wolf ankle to allow for the feet to move up or down but I'm not sure.

    SO. WORTH. IT!!

    Yea. All you'd be doing is clipping his legs together from robot mode.

    Np.

    Np, and dude you won't be disappointed!


    Thanks!

    Yea dude. The pricepoint is KILLER!

    I agree!

    The one didn't have it, but I can't tell you what the final product will bring. I didn't see anything indicating metalics, though. Even with the Seekers, the only metallic looking one was Stormer. Cyclops had a true metallic job, though though.

    I think it's ok to discuss pricing once the pricepoint on a figure is set?

    And, thank you man. I appreciate you watching.

    Honestly, the sheeths stay pretty well, but I can understand where you're coming from.

    Nice!

    Thanks man, and it was good to meet ya' that day!

    I didn't see balancing issues, but yes the feet are plastic. The only thing I see people possibly having to do is nail polish the ball joint that let's the feet rock to help support things like maybe one-legged poses.

    The front feet aren't. The fold in and out for the transformation, but don't rock or anything. Same with the back feet.

    That'd be awesome!
