    Ditto.

    But I got sick of waiting and just put my Botcon Gigatron in my sale thread the other day.

    I hope there's some news on this after PE ships Warden. Those head sculpts are too good to just disappear.

    I'll look into that, thanks :) 

    As requested. Despite the fact that this mold has been KO'ed, the actual figure itself was terrible out the box. He had a broken leg and other QC issues. A lot of it were easy fixes which improved his value, but that painted wooden head though! Easily the biggest turn off. Never had a figure like this before.

    I'm getting the version for GDO Megatron. My Botcon Gigatron is wearing a Skel-A-Tor head.

    I think I'm going to get the one for Gigatron first, to see how it is. After that, I'll decide if I want the other two.

    I've been waiting on the Bludgeon and Megatron kits to come in so I can ship my BBTS POL. Was hoping that there'd be an update somewhere in that mess of reveals last week... I don't think they're gonna make it in May, hopefully June.

    For a wooden head that isn't bad! It actually looks more detailed that the official version I have.

    Can't wait for this kit. I reckon I'll spread the accessories out. Give the shoulder cannon to GDO megs, the head for Gigatron, the rifle for Banzaitron and the sword to Bludgeon.
