    Question about Kup.

    Who here fully clips his backpack down?

    When I do that I have a lot of issues with wheel shoulder clearance, but when I don't the backpack just seems to sit out there too far. Really my only gripe with an otherwise phenomenal figure.

    Maybe I'm not setting his shoulders right, or maybe that's just the way he is. What are you guys doing with him?

    The backpack clips in somewhere? Hmmm, I just swiveled it downward for him. Seems to sit fine that way. I only have an issue with the arm panels. Outside of that, I really like the figure now that I have him in hand. I need the iGear head though. The current one is ridiculous.

    I order it ages ago from IGear only to have it disappear in transit, and then not get any reply from them by email. I'm only out 12 bucks, but it's rather disappointing. I'll probably just hit up some domestic shop or eBay since I've given up on getting that resolved.

    It locks down, so it sits much lower and pretty much flush with his back. My issue with this position is that it can restrict should movement a lot and just never feels right IMHO. But the figure looks a lot better with the head not obstructed by the backpack so I keep wrestling with which way I like it better.

    Literally my only gripe with the figure as the forearm panels don't bug me that much.

    This was probably my least anticipated figure from the last wave, but it turned out to be one of my favorites. The arm kibble is annoying, but I think the leg transformation is absolutely brilliant. Looks utterly fantastic in bot mode.

    Thought I'd share a little picture of him I did as soon as I got my hands on DOTM Human Alliance figures :p

    Already have Generations Kup, I decided to get E-Hobby Kup. Tempting Toys has him for $34.99, not too bad IMO. I like the color scheme better and the Igear head kit should look cool on it.

    Just bought the Igear set from an Ebay user myself and should hopefully receive it sometime around February. The standard head was just unacceptable.

    I got him at the Target sale (along with Wheeljack) for $6, but I'm not all that thrilled with him. It's not one thing, it just doesn't really do much for me.
