Rock! Thanks Matt. I will have to keep my eye on that then...though its my birthday in just under a month and I am not allowed to by myself anything anymore (wife wont let me) so who knows, maybe I will either get it for my birthday or it will be in stores afterwards.

 

No problem.  

Yeah, it's been in stock there for a couple months now. If you google around a bit, lots of people on various boards have tried and either got their order cancelled or got something other than Mudflap. But maybe they've fixed it by now.

briantoys.com has had some in here and there as well...

 

Nice pictures and mod, by the way! I may have to try that when I get mine next week.

You were right. Got an email from K-Mart about two hours after I placed the order. They canceled the order b/c they didn't have any in stock.

 

Better than being charged for a Bumblebee.

At least I'm not the only person who found the waist a pain. When I try flipping it back to alt mode I'm scared I'm gonna break something. I'st like that joint doesn't bend enough.

 

You never know with Simmons...

 

So far I like Skids better, but Mudflap is by no means awful. His transformation is different enough to be interesting and it gives him much less of a hollow appearance.

I haven't had any issues with things popping off on Mudflap or even Chromia. All tight joints.

Mine came in from eBay yesterday. He's not as nice as Skids, but he's still awesome. I like that the chest transformation isn't exactly like it is on SKids, but parts of it are a pain. I also wish that his arms had some orange paint for screen-accuracy, but I'm glad that they're not as spindly as the pictures suggest.

"Chromia" is a lot better looking than HA "Arcee", but the transformation is a bitch.

 

I meantioned this in the video review thread:

 

Got the Takara-tomy verison yesterday from Toyz and Gamez website. Really great figure, great mold, great transformation(i know it's nearly the same as Skids, but he's great too). And call me crazy, but i even like the little Chromia figure, Simmons is just like anyother human figure that comes in the HA line, quite a good likeness to the actor. The only problem with him is his paint scheme, but overall, this is a really nice HA set. I payed as much as you would for a leader class figure, i think that's because it's Takara- Tomy.

 

Forgot to mention yesterday, but i don't know if it's just mine or if it's because it's Takara-Tomy's, but my little Chromia figure doesn't have any problems with joints and she's really easy to transform.

 

My HA Chromia is fine, and it's Hasbro.

 

So it must have been the first ones released then that had the problems. Can you transform yours without anything popping off?

 

Found one at TJMaxx yesterday and bought. I didn't have much trouble transforming Mudflap. Transformation reminds me of the deluxe Mudflap, enough difference from HA Skids, much better than I expected.

Blue bike is a nice addition. It will probably stay in bike mode.

 

I am digging Mudflap! Amazon had him for $40 and free shipping. Chomia is nigh impossible for me to transform but otherwise a great toy. I can now move on to thre DOTM HA's!

 

Yea...as hard as I looked for mudflap, when I finally had that one in hand, it was worth it. Mudflap is one of the best HAs, I love the HA skids, but mudflap is cooler. They have to release a repaint for that one in this line..I just cant see em NOT doin it.

Did anyone who read the new novel know what color cheme the new mudflap is, or is it the same as the deluxe fig?

 

I snagged HA Mudflap from Amazon for $40 as well. Great figure, but I loathe the Chromia. I cannot get her transformed right.
