    Eh, seems like a rather lazy "upgrade". They even re-use the same gun from another set.

    Nah, it just needs someone to finally figure out any fillers for the ship mode need to extend past the legs and help hold the rear half of the ship to the front.

    the head can only swivel, the light piping sucks, the hands are stupid, the alt mode has huge gaps, and the chest has many gaps and never wants to go in all the way

    I like this. Don\'t want the gun, but the filler would be nice.

    that's something nearly every single modern chug scale figure's upgrade kit has. honestly hastak, if you're gonna jack up the prices for newer chug figures, at least put in some extra pieces to fill in the unsightly gaps

    Weird, mine never has that problem.

    The whole point of the hollow spots is they help make figures taller or compensate for more complex transformations. Throwing gap fillers in the box would offset that and bump the costs up.

    Yeah, not going to be one since it'd just be a whole new figure. I'm not painting that thing. It'd ruin Teletraan. A Generations Selects/Golden Disk Action Master color version would be nice. I'd even get on board with a R.E.D. version. Don't know why they don't have more of those since they're relatively a lot easier to manufacture than a transforming thing.

    Well then, I guess you don't bother doing anything other than just line them up against the wall, waiting for them to be shot.

    Me (and I imagine plenty of other people), I play with mine, and I put them in all sorts of poses and positions, and yes, this does include not facing dead ahead from the wall. It's nice when they don't have big open spots. And even if they aren't entirely visible, I still know they're there, and would like them not to be.

    Or maybe you just like going to threads for things you have no interest in, and shitting on things other people like or want.

    Still hoping for an Action Master colored re-release separately from the Ark, the upcoming Jackpot will be lonely in my Lost Light crew shelf without one

    Yeah that was kind of an odd take. I like my toys to look good from as many angles as possible, within reason.
