    And you base this on what? Dalianjj specifically said Scoria will have a toy version...dozens of times, in fact.

    the last thing i saw from Dalianjj was "No 2.0 version of Scoria. Just some recolor version later." that was 7/1...

    So what's the general level of satisfaction on this figure for those who have received it? I've been on the fence. It makes me a little nervous when I visit a thread to get an idea of how it's going and all I see are posts about replacement parts and fixes.

    Awesome figure, even with loose shoulders originally. With the fix, better than awesome.

    The whole thread has been quite positive about the figure. I think the very large majority of the owners are very satisfied. I know I am.

    Don't worry about the fixes to the shoulder. It's just fixing a slight annoyance.

    What he said, it's a fantastic figure, get it, you won't be disappointed, until Sever is released I feel this guy is going to be my favorite masterpiece styled figure for a very, very long time unless MP-22 has something to say about that!

    I own it, slightly loose left shoulder and awaiting replacement parts and I'm not regretting it in the slightest, it's that good a figure.

    Agreeing with the last two posts. He looks amazing. Size is great. Feet are very secure. Aside from doing lame Van Dam kick poses I don't get why people bitch about the legs. He stands solid on my glass self. I personal find that he feels strong. After just getting Hegemon and ConAir Skywinder, they feel like they will break during transforming. Only the flaps that hide his hands feel a bit so so. Only cause the snap on it is tight.This guy is raw as fuck!

    Mine went missing in transit and is currently bouncing between countries. I haven't really followed this thread but it sounds like ALL Scoria's have floppy shoulders? Is this the case? Or just quite a few of them?

    Totally depends on where you're coming from and what you're looking for in a figure.
    It pretty much looks exactly like the image I have of Slag in my mind.(pending new face and toy colours). But that is totally subjective.
    It is a masterpiece Slag. If you need one in your life this is you chance.

    But is it perfect?
    Absolutely not. Unfortuantely it has a couple of small design flaws which makes it vulnerable for individual QC issues and some molding inaccuracies.
    But to me those are details.

    My left shoulder is loose as hell and can't even hold itself up let alone a weapon. The right is better and can hold a pose, but only with the gun. Currently awaiting new shoulders

    Other than that the figure is amazing. Definitely recommend.

    Amazing figure. I'm going to have to order another one as I allowed my oldest nephew to handle it and he passed it onto the youngest who dropped it on the driveway and scratched the chrome dino head really bad :( . Lesson learned.

    Just popping in to see if Captured Prey has mentioned if an when they'd be getting the shoulder fixes. My scorias left arm was " ok " when I first got him , but now , it can't even hold itself in an upright position.

    Got my Slag a couple weeks back and am super happy with him! Luckily mine's shoulders are not as bad as others and he can be posed holding up his weapons but only just. The rest of him is tight enough to change a tire with! Any chance those of us who bought from ebay can get these shoulder fixes?

    Only problem I have is that one connection to the batteries in the sword was broken when I got it.
