    Well, mine arrived, joints are tight enough bar the swing mechanism in the legs and on one of the balljoints and the torso tabs, but that's par for the course by the sounds of things.

    Would be good if they had included any fucking front wheels though.

    No wonder Kapow said they weren't doing them for full price. Thankfully he doesn't look too bad in robot mode and if a shapeways kit comes out there will be an option for wheels for the front and back.

    Wow, his chest looks as flat as a pancake. It never bothered me before, but now I'm really seeing it.

    I'll try to document the work on the next shoulder.

    It involves cutting a piece off the back of the shoulder casing and gluing that piece or something else into the ball socket part. Because the current design uses the piece you are cutting off to sandwich the ball in place, you are essentially making a new ball socket that you have to force the ball into. Sounds worse than it actually is. Hopefully the shapeways kit offers that socket piece in two parts, so it will again be a sandwiching of the ball.

    He looks the part, love the head sculpt, looks better than Badcube's. Quality is akin to some of the binaltech knockoffs that we had over here for a while with some residue on it meaning your hands feel dirty after feeling it.

    Good design, poorly executed.

    Any place still have this for a reasonable price? Thought I would give it a shot for my birthday and keep him or mod into police streaker.

    BBTS And TFSource have him, but at the original $94.99. With the known issues, $70 is about the right price IMO. Even with a good copy, he needs some maintenance. If you have to pay $95 and get a not-so-good copy, that's not worth it.

    SunSneaker - tip toeing up to an unsuspecting, over-confident 'Con. Headshot imminent.

    Yes, Spinout can stand on his toes.

    This Testers color is a nice match for touchups.

    Hi, okay, I looked at like all the pictures I could find of G1 Streaker... only difference in the crotch plate is some comic art shows black or yellow... plus the legs are always yellow. Can you post picture of what your thinking...? Thanks for your input.

    I have to say I'm really glad you guys who bought Spinout are pleased with the product. The mods I've seen as well as the pictures shows there was some serious love to this project. Despite the QC issues from the unforseen/umentionable drama of production it is good that this guy is still satisfying.

    Okay, thanks for clarifying. See what's possible to do with spin out. His crotch plate isnt as flat a Sunsurge's... I honestly think the decals they made up look bad. They look out of place...cluttering up the figure...not making it better... my opinion. Will check back in later with a update.
