    I thought somewhere it was that the junkions were a autobot race of beings on the planet of junk. I will most likely not put a Autobot symbol on these. I'm sure if I'm wrong on somewhere in the TV series that it was mentioned that they were. I'm not arguing that they are or not. I'm just curious to know if it was said in the series or maybe commercial.

    I call zero trust KFC has different QC every production run. These early adopters might very well have a good version. I call for patience, let KFC be good in the main release. No pre-order for KFC. EVER

    Ha ha ha ha. ...no.

    KFC Reflector has had great reviews in "main release".

    The Junkions coming out are part of the figures actual production run. KFC haven't done a special "micro production run at A+ quality" to con everyone. What we are seeing now is what people will be getting.

    "let KFC be good in the main release"
    KFC are good in the main release. This is the main release.:rolleyes2

    To each his own bro.

    I got these and I like em. Makes me happy so I'll probably do it again on their next release.

    If you feel you need to patiently wait for some special time to pass where miraculously the qc issues you feel are there have been resolved, do it. I am far too impatient to keep waiting. I need my toys now!

    Skull face touched on all of the issues I have. Some under spray on the diecast thighs, saddlebag falls off too easily, spikes fall out and can be lost if not careful, diecast handlebars feel like they could break if ham handed.

    Overall I am very pleased and I have less QC problems than on my FT Wyllis. Goes great with MP9, MP22, Ollie, Buzzing, MP28, Tyrant, Andras and the sweeps. I need to pick up Dumpyard now and maybe one more remold.

    I'm sure I'll understand when I have him in hand- but the diecast feels fragile? That's just so odd (I thought the whole point was to use diecast so it wouldn't be fragile). Maybe I'll look at Bobby's review. He's ordered and coming regardless. I can't wait!

    The motorbike handlebars and brake levers are very small and thin pieces, so even in diecast they are fragile. transformation involves turning these pieces like 90-120 degrees on the central pivot which is a solid tight joint, so if you push from the tips of the handlebars the torque will probably snap them.

    It's the same idea as with a lot of MP's where a long or thin piece on a single hinge can be susceptible to immense stress if you don't move it correctly. (FT Kickback wings, FT Hound mirrors, TT Wheeljacks clear shoulder pieces, TW Mixmaster's leg panels, TW Long Haul's wheel hinges - and lot's of others I can't think of now)
    It's an inevitable result of small pieces on a high parts count figure.
    Considering Bobby's renowned heavy handedness (and he wasn't exactly gentle with this figure) and the fact that it survived his handling, a little bit of care will go a long way.

    Could anyone (Bobby in particular) do a comparison of Crash Hog and his G1 Version of Wreck Gar to see his size differences,also what they look like side by side.I am just about this close (less than 2 millimeters) away from ordering Crack Hot but 2 problems,one is I am slap a** broke at the moment so will have to wait to get paid in about a week,and two is I am worried this is gonna sell out before I get a chance to order him.

    Does anyone know for sure when Crash Hog is being released,BBTS says this month,but with less than a week left in this month I am unsure when exactly.Thanks guys.

    The handlebars are definitely not fragile... It was kind of a pain to get them lined up correctly down into the torso to transform into bot mode and I had to fiddle with them for a bit to get them down far enough to snap his gas tank to his back.. The handle bars felt pretty strong .. Those little mirrors and brake levers fall off the whole time though.. Better than breakage

    Not saying they are frtagile, just that it feels like an area that could be an issue. As for getting them tucked in, did you open the side abs up before putting them down in? I had the same problem until I figured that out.

    Yeah I don't get it. They aren't fragile at all, at least I didn't feel like they'd break when I was messing around.

    So does Fanstoys. Numbers are placeholders. One design because of competition or other factors may get pushed along faster. Sometimes figures change numbers. Eventually you can go back and recreate their list like Fanstoys. Maketoys did the same thing with Visualizers. Renders or announcement pictures are not designs.
