So him tipping back because of lack of knee ratchet is a thing, huh? That sucks.

Really caught off guard with the pink abs too, but I suppose that's accurate?

 

Yeah and actually he'd be even more accurate to the cartoon if the white parts of his arms and legs were pink too but I'm glad they didn't do that.

 

Sounds like you may be missing the spring in the knee ratchet. Take the 5 screws out of his thigh and take a look.

Edit: if you are missing the spring a spring from a pen will work, you might have to cut the spring shorter.

 

Got shipping info emailed to me for my rubadubspawn order. Guess they were reading the thread.

Ummmm... here's hoping it's from a 2nd run or something!

 

Sorry, haven't been keeping up at all. Hope to catch up over the weekend.

Glad to hear you got your tracking. Even though the figures have shipped, wasn't sure if the tracking numbers would have made it out of the shipping centers before the spring festival. Good stuff.. Look forward to more pics from everyone...

 

Heck yes! Looking forward to it!

 

Hi... Sorry dude. My Rub deals I aim to compete on price (ie cheaper than us retail and for sure bbts). Speed is not something that is terrific when the items ship from China. Going forward, I've asked for an ems option that will be faster but cost more for those that wanna pay. Ordering from China is never going to be faster than ordering from the same country. Hopefully cheaper.

Again... I apologize if you were looking for it in a rush. Let me know next time and I'll see what additional shipping options are available for you. Peace!

 

This is slightly random but I was just looking at tiny as hell (pun intended and I'll get to that in a minute) Abaddon next to Sovereign. Is it common knowledge that most (all I think?) XTB Decepticons are named after demons from Abrahamic religions? I just haven't heard it mentioned before and just assumed it was well known.

 

Yup, pretty well known but we don't talk religion here  

 

Huh, neat. I knew Abbadon and Appolyon are two different names for the same guy (thank you, New X-Men!) but that was about it.

That Andras and Eligos are makes sense, and I feel like a dummy for not looking that up myself.

 

If XTB ever makes a Unicron I'd hope he'd be called Samael.

 

Yes but there was someone who got upset about the naming and said something then people started making nasty comments, mods had to come in, it wasn't pretty. best just to avoid the whole religion angle, what is just a funny comment or an insignificant fact to some is an insult to everything another holds dear.

Well, unless you want to talk Primus, I'll talk Primus and Unicron all day! I'll also happily discuss any matter in PM!

BTW for what it's worth, I'm not religious myself.

 

No, he will only tip back if you have the legs transformed wrong, i.e not pegged in right, he holds any stance just fine, look at my picture below he's legs hold fine in a leaning back stance

 

Great shot, it's getting really hard to stick to my guns and not to order him. Especially as I just got some good news about my immigration status... He will be my birthday present to me, I think!

 

More specifically on topic I got both Sovereign and Elligos yesterday. Sovereign is fantastic. He's exceeded my high expectations and I really like him.

Elligos though I love. I know XTB/KFC has some issues but they are easily overlookable, at least for me. Something about their designs just does it for me. They're something special that stands apart from the rest.

I really like Sovereign but I also am really looking forward to seeing more of Abbadon.

 

Yeah, Im waiting on abbadon before I make a final decision...

At least that's what I tell myself. The reality is I'll probably crack and order sovereign and Eligos in two weeks!

 

My thinking is Abbadon is far enough off I'll have plenty of time to enjoy Sovereign before dumping him for Abbadon.

 

Hmmm you know what? You're not wrong !

 

I got a problem with mine a pin in his shoulder is sticking out I don't think it will push in going to see if I can get a replacement part

 

Has anyone painted the face yet? I'd kinda like to go with an opaque paint but I have no clue how to color match this every so slightly pink grey.
