    Completely agree. Just goes to show how constructive critique of a design on the forums can lead to something good becoming great if the designer is willing to lend an open ear, and the fans can be respectful. I can only hope Fans Toys will be the same way with their Grinder design. That particular forum that has been chock-full of good ideas.

    Props to 539 and XTB. If the build is solid and QC is as good as this thing looks, this would be a contender for figure of the year, IMO. Can't wait. Body is ready.

    Does his giant belly button/belt buckle restrict the waist articulation? It would seem like it would.

    It has been said the belly button pushes in to allow for the swivel. Maybe something akin to the Pillsbury Doughboy.

    This guy is looking damn good! Only thing I noticed is that is hands appear to be really small when made into a fist. Like he's got kid gloves or something? Other than that, looks stellar!

    I thought his hands look too small too, maybe they cannot be any bigger because of the transformation

    I've pre ordered this bad boy but the only thing I'm not sure is the scaling, was cyclonus always that much larger compared to scourge?

    He's supposed to be bigger than Scourge and a tad bit bigger than Galvatron.

    I was going to mention the small hands, but it seems others have beat me to it. Everything else is to a stage where I can't imagine it being any better.

    Awesome, thanks! Those shots with Magnus are the ones I've been waiting for.

    The wait for this is going to be excruciatingly painful.

    Great pics.

    They really showcase what the figure can do pose-ability-wise while being fun and playful (it is a toy after all).
