You can throw the extra LED in the space under his head. As long as you don't mind the rattle. That way it doesn't get lost...

 

Finally got this guy in yesterday and wow is he big. I dont think photos do his size justice. With the backpack he is almost as tall as my computer tower. It really does feel like an offical product, very solid and detailed. My only issue that I hope they fix in the future is the instructions are kind of lacking for something this big with many moving parts. I couldnt tell what the hell some of the zoomed in photos were. I cant wait to have metroplex standing next to him on a shelf this year. As much as my wallet would hate it, I really hope their next product is FOC Trypticon.

 

I am thinking about picking this guy up. He looks super cool and I would love to display him with my Herc. I am debating over him, fort max or an iPad Mini. I already have a regular iPad 1st Gen.

 

Go with Genesis dude, he's totes awesome.

 

Does he work well with classics?

 

Well he's really meant more for a WFC/FOC display but a lot of people are happy with him in their classics display. Here he is next to Herc BTW.

 

I got this guy the other day and seriously, he is worth EVERY. DAMN. PENNY.

 

Lol love how its exaggerated, the measurement goes only to the top of Hercs head while for Genesis it goes up to his "wings."

Just saw your review. Great job, your daughter is so cute lol. Very tempted to pick it up, but its a pass for me still.

 

Actually watching your review made me want to buy it. I had never seen the launch pad mode before.

 

this is the exact reason i'm on the fence about this one. I can't get past the head. XD

 

did you turn up the yellow in photoshop?

 

The more time that passes, the more the prospect of owning this guy wins out over Maketoys Mobine, FP TBone and MP-11s. Struggling mightily with this decision.

 

I want to like this guy but i just cant do it. Is this one of those figures that would have to be in hand to convert me?

 

That picture is from the prototype that was more brightly colored. They listened to feedback and changed the colors for the final release.

 

I'm surprised you're not impressed by some of the excellent photos of him. If that isn't enough then yes, he'll blow your mind when you have it in hand and you'll wonder why on earth you even ever doubted it  

DO EEEEEEEEEET!

 

Seriously I struggled missed the first wave then bit the billet on the 2nd wave.....once in hand you really see he's worth the price and an amazing piece for any collection....my main concern....if they can do this with the oddball ha no place in reality transformation of the video game design what could these guys do with the design based on a more classic omega?

 

I finally caved and bought the second to last one that Captured Prey had.

 

In hand is even better than pictures. This is just a quick one showing his massive size. Its like the size of a small child. lol. It is a lot of money so you should be sure you want it but I dont see how anyone could be disapointed once they get it in hand.

 

Mine just arrived. Wow. Holy freaking...wow. Peaugh is right, worth every penny.

And every inch of shelf space.
