    I'm guessing he can't hold his guns that way, so it's only good for the Universe version?

    I wouldn't know, I don't have the Henkei version and haven't received Dion yet. Isn't there some chunk out of the back end where you put the launchers in vehicle mode? They might work like that here, since the rear part of his vehicle mode is on his arms.

    Thanks for the pic. That is what I envisioned based on your description. He can hold the launchers, but you kind of have to angle the car bits outward and the launchers inward to make it happen. The "chunk out of the back end" is on the bottom part of the rear bumper, so it doesn't help here.

    <edit> Correction, you can angle the rear bumper halves up and sneak the launchers through underneath. I'm attaching an image of that, as well as one that shows my preference for re-pegging them to his back.

    Seeing as how people keep saying they came "in the mail," I'm going to have to assume that's a yes.

    Still nothing for me. And no e-mail either - though, as G.B.B. pointed out, that's not necessarily an indication of anything...

    Your assumption is correct. :)

    Heh, and now I can confirm it myself.

    I don't live in a house with a mailbox at the end of the driveway, we've got one of those community mailblocks with rows of boxes for the whole neighborhood.

    As a result, I wasn't sure if the package would fit inside my box, though I was hopeful since the pictures posted showed a package with no frills.

    The mailman didn't drop off anything this morning, but when I checked the mail, sure enough, the package fit in the box. So, yes, it comes USPS ;) 

    And now to see if this mold is worth a damn... edit - Well, I like him a lot. Don't see why everyone has such a hate-on for the mold, and the colors are damned nice.

    Judging by the location of some of the people saying they got theirs, mine should be waiting on me when I get home.

    Oooh, I like this method a lot. The "pegging them to his arms" looks eliminates the ability to peg the launchers themselves into the arms (which I think looks cooler than just him holding them in his hands). But, your way both allows him to have the arm-launchers, AND gives his shoulders a full range of motion. Thanks for the tip! :)
