    Ok, played with this guy, and

    - the transformation I feel is actually more involved than other 3rd party legends figures I have, which is interesting. I feel there are a lot of part count on this one.
    - took me some time to transform him actually, it is fiddly and on the shoulders, and instructions are from alt mode to bot mode, but... it comes in bot mode, and they are not so good as explaining anyways.
    - He has a nice articulated tail that I like and he is cute in alt mode.
    - Well very constructed and painted I would say
    - Mine came with 2 right hands, but fortunately, I had them switch it out for me at the show...
    - there is a tiny bit of ankle tilt possible, which I wasn't expecting, and pleasantly surprised, but it is not much, still, enough for my needs.
    - Balancing in alt mode will limit how low he can pose and you will need to rotate down the alt mode head.

    I like him, but maybe not enough to get more (but you never know). Also, he is on the expensive side...but still I wanted one and happy to have one.

    What's the story with the serrated sword? I just got a Savage today and he's got the standard sword.

    This is a great little figure with a nice finish. It's got my favorite kind of transformation which is simple yet clever and fun. I worry a little about the fragility of his spikes and tiny claw hands but other than that he feels pretty solid.

    Also, Savage will be available online at a later date, as soon as Mugger is released. Corbot V decided to hold off on this version, until the real version of the mold is out.

    Sounds good. Did Corbot V drop any hints about ideas for their next release after Mugger and Savage?

    A couple appeared in ebay recently, shipped from Canada. I wonder if the seller had a few left after all. I picked it up.

    I contacted Corbot about my Savage with 2 left fists. It took a few months and a reminder before I received a replacement arm... with a 3rd left fist. Corbot is no longer responding to Facebook messages, nor the post I made a week later trying to get their attention.

    Has it been for sale through a distributor yet?
