    The little white tab above the front grill pulls up slightly and acts as a clip to hold the bonnet shut.

    I think the genneral concesus is that they want Reprolabels to make that sticker. Problem is that they need a physical sample of the toy to make measurements off of and to apply the finished sickers to for their promotional pictures. And they're also in Canada, which means they may not get the figures for a while still.

    Just picked mine up today at a local Target. Totally awesome.

    And like Allspark Ferret mentioned in the previous page Mudflaps head does flip around on a spring but doesn't have anything to latch onto. Also, as he mentioned, the ice cream decoration on the top moves just barely, but doesn't seem to do anything.

    Overall recommended though!

    Just got them. It is an awesome little figure(s). Pretty complex transformation for little guys. Only thing that would have made this set better would be if they had made it a Voyager size. Highly recomend picking it up if you happen to be on the fence.

    Can MF's outer cape panels not be folded in half on the hinge joint, then positioned like his wings using the balljoints they're mounted on?

    Yes, they can. It's adorable, especially because his face makes him look so confused about it.

    Photos of my Ice Cream truck!!!! The toy of this truck really makes it look very cartoonish in a way :lol : I'm pretty sure we will see a custom repaint of a worn out look of the truck like the one in the movie... Its upgrade time!!!
