    That's a good point. I've only got the first two so far (5&6), though even they had sprue marks. It's a bit more understandable to see some on a complex part like the treads.

    Got my shipping notice this morning from BBTS. Hard to believe I'll be finishing out my MP Dinos, MP Bugs, and MP Constructicons all in the same month.

    Nice work. It's a pity though, I think I prefer the detailing on the back of their hands and knuckles to what the Fanstyle hands have.

    Now I gotta ask, how does holding their guns work?

    Do those hands effect the transformation?
    They look great, by the way.

    I agree those hands and maybe Bonecrusher's head are their biggest physical flaws. Paint differences aside can be fixed.

    Me too...with this reminder...

    Every time I see an angle that looks good, I pull this up to smack some sense into myself.

    I wonder if the chest piece could drop a bit and help fill in that negative space on the transition between hook and longhaul?

    its really the posability that gets me, whats even weirder is that I personally dont like the individual bots as MP's but would love for them to have been a bit shorter in bot mode, but I still like devy being gargantuan...... still I have the Unite warriors Devy so I dont really have a place for this guy even though he is amazing looking, just think he is a bit busy on the surface detail to really fit in with the MP's but thats my gripe towards my preferences.

    If you don't see it or aren't bothered by it, then i am genuinely happy for you. :) 

    That's the same reason i never picked up WB's Brute...just too busy. Unnecessary detail for details sake.

    Same here, for all of it. I feel like my collection was vastly, drastically improved this month. Unfortunately, now there aren't any figures I'm really as excited to get.

    you keep refering back to this picture where the arms are not fitted right which is obvious when you look at other picture's and by how the right fist is lower than the left on this picture and the treads are sitting lower

    [​IMG]

    can see in this pic that the treads sit up higher than the proto picture

    [​IMG]

    and here

    You know, I can see this argument if you are the kind of guy that displays his figures like the bricks G1 figures were.
    But lets think about this, even if your bots are stacked assholes to elbows in a tight glass case or an over flowing shelf, chances are you will have so many other bots stacked in front of this guy, you will never notice.
    What about the character you like but it has a shit alt mode?
    So you leave it in robot mode, or vise versa for G1 figures...at least for me.
    What about all the really awesome poses you can get out of the figure where you don't see the body filler issue?

    G.I. Eddie, look at the awesome stuff you have done with Hercules.
    That bot suffers form the same situation and you made it great.
    Look at all the glorious detail you put in to it.
    Truly a work of art.

    I fail to see why people are so hung up on one very boring pose.
    I am almost afraid of how vacuous your display must be.

    Definitely something off with that pic. The shoulders should not sit that low

    So all retailers are sending out replacement elbow joints correct? Its packaged in figure? Didn't order the others from BBTS so I'm scared they won't send the replacement parts with the last two...

    Awe man, imagine if G.I. Eddie went balls out (ROTF pun) on this guy too?
    Constructor is already great but he would then be glorious.

    Oddly the Fanstyle hands can't hold the stock guns for shit but are absolutely fine with things such as mini Laserwave:

    [​IMG]

    I think it's because the stock gun handles are spherical whereas normal MP style guns are more blocky and therefore have more edges to hold in place.

    I can clearly see you're bothered by its proportions...but keep in mind this devy's transformation is optional. You can still alter it to look better by tucking the shoulder joints in and/or angling the elbow joints by a touch. It's too early for anyone to say they're put-off based on one profile photo.

    Exactly.
