    No shipping notice from TF-Direct yet. Ah well, I did order pretty late so I'm fine with waiting.

    I agree. I think the IT has all black. We'll see when I get mine.

    Sucks that you didn't get all the faces but its cool your seller will help you out. Right shoulder is looser but the paint held up after transformation which the official doesn't do.

    THF He does look different in my pic.

    I asked them about the delay and they responded saying that there was a delay at the factory.

    guys like tf-direct, showz, baba, smartlup, toybento, sirtoys are not big companies. they can't afford to just eat costs on a mistake. they're just guys who are doing us a favor by selling hard to get stuff to fans. a lot of people give them a hard time and they get really frustrated. i have seen it. toybento is quitting and smartlup quit for a year. people need to show their appreciation for the job they do instead of giving them a hard time or they may just leave.

    i've seen the same distain for toy reviewers and that's not right either.

    Wow I just received my THF meg in 8 days from aliexpress to Canada. Got to be a record. I was actually ready to wait for 3 weeks at least.

    Yeah. I gave them a hard time recently without really meaning to and felt bad afterward. I wish these damn manufacturers would get their acts together though. Set realistic launch expectations and then build enough of the things to meet all the orders you took instead of giving your sellers three of this figure and twelve of that figure. I've always griped about Wei Jiang's release dates and how they never meet them but I can't help but feel like this thing where they partially meet it with severely limited numbers is even worse. I mean it's great for those who got their ne01 and it's great for infinite transformation for those got their mp36 already but it leaves the rest of us grumpy and we have nobody to turn to but the seller. And the seller can't do anything but throw their hands up. I don't think I'll be pre-ordering products from thf or Wei jiang anymore after all this nonsense.

    Baba has the light up head upgrade in stock. Just picked one up for my mp36 ko, hopefully the greys are close enough.

    What Taobao seller did you use? Can you post a link to the listing?
    Also did the Taobao warrehouse you shipped through add additional volumetric weight?

    Ben wasn't kidding when he said it's cartoon accurate. Can't wait to receive mine. Also, does he have additional die-cast besides the barrel and feet?

    I like the smirking face on your avatar.
    I don't get it when people say it looks amateur.

    Thanks, Magnus. It's one of my favorite expressions and will be using it when my IT arrives. I'm surprised some would say that cuz it's pretty professional as far as sculpting.

    Apparently somewhere along the line Takara decided to leave it out out their final production version.
