It is a fantastic-looking figure, but the QA is appalling.
I can only hope it's improved on the second run. | |

I've bought mine when he first came out [March 2007] and am annoyed by the following: - The legs dangle at the hip\waist connection and there's no way to tighten that part-if left alone he may do the split or something
- Arm just can't hold the fusion cannon-don't dare to leave it posed like that
- Most of the ball-jointed armour parts snap off at the slightest breeze
I'm thinking of getting a new one from TFsource, but if the second run suffers the same problems as my first, I'd rather just sell mine and get over with it.
Any help?
Thanks in advance | |

I got mine from TFSource a few weeks ago and it suffers all of these faults.
These are QA issues not TFsources fault. Their level of service was fantastic.
Will definately buy from them again. | |

But it is winter now, in summer where he's stored can get humid so we'll see come July. I can pose him with cannon arm extended. It's tricky though as the ball joints that are his ankle don't hold up well. Right now his sitting behind MP Starscream and IIRC his cannon is resting on SS stand.
Megatrons weapon is a flail, not a morning star.

The joints are all still very tight, and the metal accessory leg covers give a nice weight that makes posing easy.
sorry this sounds like bragging, but my MP Megs is worth it. Superbeeds sent me a good one. | |
