Got mine today, I personally LOVE it, my only regret is that all three were not released at once. seriously, this is one of the coolest figures I have seen in a long time, I cant imagine being much more happy with it Worth every penny, a true work of art!
Only one complaint from me, those rivit joints at the top of the shoulders that are sure to become loose over time and there will be no way to fix it! wish they had used screws or even metal pins.
I just have one question, forgive me if this has been mentioned before.
Do the hands rotate?
with how the forarm is made, I can see that the hands are separate peices, but I have tried to turn them with as much pressure as I dare, with no luck.
The leg joints were extremely tight, the hands might be the same, but I dont want to put more pressure on them and hear a terrible 'crack', and break this amazing but expensive item.
Can anyone confirm if the hands turn at the wrist or not?
Sir Balmatrix can you also post pics of him standing side by side with a deluxe class classics bee or cliffjumper just so we can see, the actual size when compared to the classics line?
Alright folks, you wanted some pics to see if Thundershread could be more G1 and here they are. I tested several different configurations of the claws attached to the blade holder and here are my results.
(Please Note: The white balance on my camera has been playing havoc with me for a little while now. There are several pics where the purple on the figure shows up blue. Ignore that.)
#1
#2
#3
And then it hit me, what if I reversed the shoulder clips and then put the blades on as they are with the G1 figure. I was so excited with the result that I put a second claw on the shoulder clip and pointed it the other way…and the pictures below speaks for themselves.
Finally, someone was asking for the directions. Here are the front and back.
just got the email that it just arrived in my pile of loot!
does this mean that the next one won't be out until late August now or should it be coming along soon? not sure whether to ship now or hold out a week or two if the next figure will be arriving soon.
ive been wondering this myself. it looks odd with the mandible things on his shoulders, i was hoping having them pegged onto his back might look more natural while keeping the g1 look
When I get home tonight I will see if there is a way to may him a little more G1-ish. Will post pics tonight.
As soon as mine arrives I'll start modeling claws, new head and gun for him.
Can the gray shuriken thing be attached to his back to look like G1 Shrapnel?

i so hope they do a repaint of these w/a slightly different molded head etc..i am so thinking bout picking up two but knowing FP they are gonna re-release these w/ a new heads and at the very least different colors.

No wrist swivel it seems. Just forearm.

bug mode bothered me because it looked as though its head was cockpit.
very Zoid, would rather it looked insect like than drivable vehicle.

I would love to get one but it is just too much money…
