    Oh crap he’s Leader-sized, just how I like ‘em!

    Now I’m torn: Do I get this guy or stick to tracking down DOTM Leader Bee?

    He is a seller that operates mainly from Facebook groups, but he does have a website now.

    He is known for having really good packaging. Your toy will be very safe when he ships.

    Isn't Terry Wong operating on eBay too - I'm sure someone found out they were one of the better known chinese sellers that was selling things like upgrades and spare hands / stickers etc...

    I just received mine yesterday and I am sorry to report that the ankles are still floppy. I can't believe Wei Jiang copied the flaw. The yellow knee cap is now diecast but the the structure for the ankle is plastic. The heal that protrudes out backwards is stiff and does not bend like rubber like the Legendary Toys KO MPM-03 and supports the weight of the figure nicely but you still have to deal with the floppy ankles.
    Here are some photos of it in my collection. Also here is my quick video of it in my collection.

    There is a review video on YouTube. Here is the link.

    My LT Bee was more loose in the shoulders/elbows. The ankles have been fine for me so long as you use that outer toe thing as a heal spur and not so much that longer inner foot piece that looks like it should be the heal spur. I don't see the shoulders/elbows improving on this mold in general, so I don't think I'm going to get any other versions of it.

    Mine's pretty tight in all the joints, but I did just get it an hour ago. I got it to go with my Black Mamba os Prime, but this might be the same size. Maybe just a couple inches smaller. Unfortunately, my Prime is still at my former home in TX, so I can't compare. Here he is, ready to smash a 6" Tarkin, though. Overall, I think it's a beautiful piece.

    Yeah, but Chevy doesn't make Camards, anyway.

    Tabs together tightly. Too tight in the back. Had to shave down the tabs on the legs. Oh, and take down some flash to flip the head/hood over.

    And these fucking tabs right here... cut those down before your first transformation, so you don't have to wrestle with it for an hour. Damn near broke the wheels off.

    Any good? Are the loose ankle fixable?

    I always think Bayverse toys look better bigger.

    If this is 28cm, then the Black Apple Optimus is 32cm which is still a bit taller but not precisely to scale, but that should be fine with me.

    I hope they will do 30cm OS Ironhide.

    I may be wrong, but I don't get the sense that this scales with much of anything, unfortunately.

    Does this guy have the silver paint apps like with LT01?

    It looks like Weijiang's M line entails remoulds and upgrades, while the Model Wizard line are just upscales with diecast.

    How does the Blue Circus one compare with this?

    Maybe the 21cm BC one beated Weijiang to it so that's why this one is 28cm.

    Blue Circus 21cm Bee would scale well with the upcoming 32cm Optimus.
