    Has anyone here taken apart the robot head? I'm thinking it's just two pieces but not sure. Can anyone confirm it? I'm hoping maybe the faceplate is separate and I could combined the different ones to make a good one.

    Got mine the other day and I gotta say out of the other Planet-X Dinobots he seems like he is made differently, like not as sturdy as Caelus and Neptune.
    Makes me wonder how the rest are gonna stack up.

    It was noted that the rush to get this released before the cny is a possible factor for less qc, but nevertheless, yes this guy does feel more delicate than the others, but largely due to the transparent fins. I don't have any loose limbs, but I do have a missing transparent plastic. Still awaiting rk for my part.

    I pulled mine out of the box and messed around with him for a while last night.

    He really does feel rushed.

    I had to tighten both hips joints, both ankle rockers, and both of the large spike plates are loose although I didn't bother fixing those.

    On top of that, his transformation is a mess, especially where the tail connects to the body. The whole things kinda feels like a pre-production sample that hasn't had all the kinks worked out of.

    I think you might have just gotten one a bad one. He isn't that bad on my end.

    Maybe, or maybe he has a higher than average occurrence of QC issues across the board.

    Yep, this was the concern I stated when PX announce their aggressive release schedule. I have him pre-ordered, but I am still worried I will get one of the rushed versions. Nonetheless, I am just as eager to own Summanus.

    Has anyone heard from their E-tailers about replacement parts?

    He seems fine (great!) to me, but I might just be lucky. Bit loose on the plates around his head, but it's not bad and that's about it

    No, mine is crack free.

    I checked them when problems first started popping up.

    This might have been addressed already but is there a trick to getting that torso shield in place for the alt mode? It seems scary tight to get it moved to the tabs on the legs while trying to tab the legs into the chest slots and I'm afraid that little pin won't be enough to hold it all together with repeated transformations.

    If it's not reaching the hole to tab in then you don't have the legs fully positioned right. Try to reposition the legs again by clicking one more time.

    I really want to get this guy but im to worried about getting a rushed one im holding out on tfs in the hope the ones they get will be fixed of all problems or at least thats what im hoping on. Did a lot of people get them from bbts if so how was the quality of the figure from there?
