    I'm not sure if flipping the antenna works. I tried it but then it wouldn't tilt the other way in robot mode making me think it was meant to be in the original assembled mode.

    Generally quite happy with this masterpiece. Only complaint is the ratchets for star sabers arms are so loose compared to the legs on saber's which are very tight.

    Strange. They're certainly not meant to spring inwards when folded down. Mine work fine in both modes now that I've switched them, but I can't vouch for anyone else.

    Thanks bro. :D 

    The more I played with him, the more I appreciate the toy even more. The execution is pretty much flawless. Aces in my book

    That really looks fantastic. Maybe I'll find him another time, though. I'm actually saving my pennies to re-acquire a MPB-01. Actually, I understand that Star Saber was part of how the Brave series started, and that he has some connection to King Exkizer? I'd be interested to see Star Saber and MP Exkizer together. :) 

    Also, I really want to watch some Japanese transformers now.

    Ah right, I read it wrong, I was expecting that due to the Gundam-type hips and thick feet, his lower body's articulation might not be as good as say MP10's. Glad to hear it's just Saber's and not Star Saber's.

    Another potential solution that allows Saber to hold his sword better (and in the correct orientation), courtesy of 2chan.
