    Take a pic of the instructions to see the difference in the head sculpt.

    If I was FP, I'd be laughing at all the fans who claimed this head was better than the original City Commander head.

    I do wonder. This set was going to be 50 pieces only for SGCollect members, originally. Maybe the quality with Jrxcombinetrain's head is due to the mold not being meant to make more than 50 pieces?

    Wow... it's "Special" Magnus!

    He can't deal with that now... because he has brain damage!

    Seriously... wow. While it's probably not a bad sculpt in the grand scheme of things... it's just not up to the quality of the rest of the set.

    Their both by SGCollect. The TCP-001 is the first run, limited to 50, and originally only available for singaporean SGCollect members. The TCP-001A was the second run which was made available to international members. With that stated, the new fan group, iGears, are making their own set based off this idea by SGCollect. iGear's set will include everything this one does, plus a blue sword for City Commander.

    The idea of offering the gun and the shoulder launchers is a good one. However, that head... That head... Dear god, that head should never have been sold to anyone. Ever.

    The first question they should've asked themselves was, "Is our product better then the original?" And when the people they asked stoppped laughing, they should've gone back to work.

    Maybe its me, but I don't see anything wrong with the current head to warrant more then one fan group to try and sell a replacement head for him, let alone one of such incredibly inferior quality. Dear Primus that head is insulting!

    Holy crap, that looks utterly terrible. How did they even have the nerve to charge anything for a piece of shit like that?

    Well, McDonald's still charges too...


    That head is just terble. The gun looks cheap. The OP should contact someone and get his money back. Based on pics we saw, this is false advertising.
