    I like the sound of that. Hope your prediction holds for that one. :)

    Are you speaking of the China release currently in the news section or yet another release?

    Is there a way to position the figure so it doesn't fall backward so easily with the cape on?

    Are you using the heels? Never had a problem.

    Yes, I'm using the heels. It seems the cape makes him back heavy since it sticks out a bit. I'll take some pictures tomorrow from different angles. Maybe there's something else that can be adjusted that I'm missing.

    I'd like to know as well as I'm having the same issue with Sunstorm + cape.

    The nosecone is what caused mine to be back heavy. It was angled back slightly, so I adjusted it to be parallel with the body, and it stands so solid now.

    This picture perfectly illustrates my confusion as to why people think the proportions on the new seeker mold are better (and why so many people complain about the original mold).

    I really think T.Cracker and Warp look much better than Screamer and Sunstorm, on the right.
    And those feet, the new ones are not an upgrade at all...and while I love the new headsculpt, it looks a little oversized and bobble-heady.

    Not knocking the new mold, I'd like to get one in-hand, but the prices are so high.

    Could always get yourself a TRU TC on the cheaper side of things.

    Yeah I was actually going to recently, they had one left, and it was on sale, but I just missed it. Shame...ah well, I would've bought it earlier but the tampos really drove me crazy, and not in a good way ;)

    Yeah, I realize it's not hard to remove them –*BUT, I'm a little anal about stuff like that, I don't like to alter figs, unless it's something this is clearly a mistake, or needs to be fixed.
    I try to leave my figs in the same condition as hasbro/takara released them in. That's just my collector OCD talking though. If I had a cheap used one I'd be more inclined to mod things.

    Can you post some pics of your MP-11 panel lined?

    I'd like to see that too. Thankfully I have an MP11 on pre-order. Happy days.

    Hey. I'm sure this has been discussed before but how can I get his chest to tab into his waist? Is there a step somewhere I need to check?

    I just transformed it for only the second time from bit to plane. What a nightmare, one of the scariest to transform as so many bits to break and paint to scratch.

    thats a tough one to answer....it just kinda requires some fiddling, to put it plainly. but honestly, if you do manage to get it tabbed in, it doesnt help. its kinda a flaw of the mold I think. If anyone wants to correct me please feel free, it'll be a learning experience for more than one person.

    I don't think it tabs in anymore; the redesign changed that section.
