    Thanks to jream, I have much sturdier hand connections. He looks amazing!

    Incredible how something as simple as articulated hands makes him seem so much better.

    Guess there is no need for these hands I have been working on now ;-)
    These are the prototypes and was asking for numbers on who wanted them on my FB page ( link under Sig ) let me know on Facebook if you would like a set and price can be found there to.

    You can also comment on the build thread found here if you are interested. ( much easier to find comments )
    All the best DS

    Did anyone ever attempt to do a goldswap fromt the comic to the original version? The comic version has a richer gold it seems.

    Im wondering what it lookslike compared to the original g1 version.

    Although it looks like ragingstorms pictures show that gold on him. Could be the lighting though.

    Mine is a body swap like you mention. I took the black pieces off the 2nd release and stuck them on the comic version. I like the gold chrome more on that, and it is the EXACT shade of chrome present on the Fans Toys X Dinos. So they look fantastic.

    I really hope they do a flat grey toon version to go with my non-x FT Dibots.

    I sent my third email to them today saying it's been 20 days with no movement and it's still in China and that I wanna file an inquiry about it. So hopefully something will happen. I can just see getting the package all beat up and opened cause of customs and knowing tf direct won't do anything about it.

    No change yet for those of us with the 4/7 shipping date.

    But they got back to me, so there's that. I can't say I've ever had a CS issue with them. They've always answered me as promptly as possible, and politely.

    Just got V2 in from 215Toyz. Man he is so amazing. My only gripe is that the logo is not square on his chest in dinosaur mode

    I was examining the inside part of the chest and trying to move the auto it symbol and got oil on my fingers. Has any one else experienced that? Seems odd it would have machine oil in the chest

    How much was it? I don't see this on their website. Do they have a new site somewhere?

    So you're saying the logo is not precisely centered on his chest in dino mode? I'm curious about this. Can you post a pic showing that?

    My copy that was tied up with that shipment on the 7th finally updated. It cleared customs on the 27th. Hopefully I will have him in hand soon.

    If customs opens it, how is that TF-Directs problem? They have nothing to do with that. Some of you people have ridiculous expectations.

    I edited this because I didn't intend to make a personal attack and the way I worded it could be misconstrued that way. Just that the expectations are a bit over the top sometimes.
