    I have to say, I really like my Firage. He's a surprisingly nice figure. I don't think Hasbro could've pulled him off like this, this is a really nice figure. I can see why some have had issues, he's finicky, but a nice figure. Reminds me of old school ROTF.

    Finally got mine end of last week but been busy/sick. I am very much enjoying this figure and his range of articulation. Happy I got him.

    Group shot for fun:

    I'm not usually the sort of person to dwell on the alternate modes of the figures in my collection, but I gotta hand it to Alien Attack, the Ferrari mode is dead sexy. I've left him in that mode for the past two days because it's so pretty.

    Has anyone changed his fingers and taken some pics? My pins are in pretty tight, so I don't want to go through the hassle of pulling them if I'm not going to like the end result.

    And any info on labels? Approximately what scale is the alt mode? I'm guessing 1:43? He's just too gorgeous to not have labels on, so I'm looking at scale model stickers.

    If this drops in price, I could see myself grabbing a second one. These Movie MP's are just gorgeous.

    Is that a custom DOTM Topspin? Looks nice. I've been waiting for FedEx to deliver my Firage. It was supposed to be delivered Friday, and got to my state that day, but for some reason it left the state and is now on its way back. I don' know what's going on with FedEx recently, but I've had issues with them in the past. In fact, I have the first wave of Studio Series Deluxes coming via them and now I'm worried.

    Damn, sorry to hear that about FedEx. I usually deal through UPS or Post Office, so I don't have much experience.

    As for Top Spin, yeah he's a custom. Redid the hands using some old Armored Core fists and some styrene pieces to fit them in place. The head is from PCC Searchlight--the large combiner head. Shaved the chin down a bit as it was too long. The rest was just paint in all the right places. I'm looking forward to Dream Factory's version if it ever gets released.

    Got mind today, good stuff.

    Just wondering what the gray handles on his arms are for, they don't seem to have any purpose.

    I think they represent pulley/wheel things for the grapple claws

    I received mine yesterday and I love it! It doesn't seem as fragile as I was expecting based on the comments, except for the wheel spikes.

    I spent about 20 minutes transforming it last night without instructions. It was a success! The alt mode is gorgeous! 20180220_203734.jpg

    Well, I'm certainly grateful that they're there after I installed those posable hands. They're the first thing I pull at when transforming from car to bot!

    It's really not hard to transform once you know how the arms and legs sit in alt mode. It's very much like bumblebee, with the arms all folded up underneath/in the cab.

    It's also not delicate, in spite of all the little joints. The plastic is flexible and strong, yet doesn't look or feel cheap.

    I love mine. He looks good with the Dreads. The transformation is not the nightmare that people say it is.

    Can a good noodle please photograph this guy with the new Studio Series figures? SS has actually allowed me to fantasize some more about an even leveled (note how I didn't say scale!) supercar/car/"thing with 4 wheels and would date" collection

    Cleanest alt mode picture I've ever seen! Great job!

    He's going to be too big... looking at pictures of the new SS Bee next to TLK Bee makes me think that he's going to tower over the other deluxe figures.

    Mine's stayed in car mode for almost a week now. It's so good looking! Especially after I applied the Ferrari decals. Just so sleek and well done.

    I suppose the next step is to decide if I want to use smoke paint on the windows so you see less robot kibble. Problem is I still want the "engine block" parts to be visible in the back! Would it look weird having the front and side windows translucent black and the back clear?
