    Went to A3U in person this afternoon to do some trades towards Enmitus. Also picked up Uproar and Catcall since I passed on Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Ravage and Fremble before. Overall happy with the blue hue used for Uproar and Catcall.

    Quite happy that I decided to unbox and fool around with Enmitus while I was in the shop. He had some QC issues which got my attention: a) 2x unsmiling faces, b) 2x right blaster/shoulder guns, and c) improperly dried paint application on his right knee. Talked to Boris about it, and he replaced Emnitus for one which had good QC. As how I feel with MMC OM Sphinx, Emnitus doesn't have the sharp, clean facesculpt that is expected nowadays of modern figures.

    I hope MMC will choose another factory for OM releases that has consistently good QC such as the ones they use for their Reformmatted line (excepting a small QC paint issue I had with their Insecticons), and hopefully going forward, make better face sculpts.

    Its a fine set to have if you don't have the other Cassettebots. I think tonight after our annual Fireworks festival, I'm gonna spend the time to apply their included cassette stickers. I don't think I'll be reselling these little b@$t@rd$, so I'm gonna stick it to them. The faction decals I used were from Reprolabels DJD gold set if those faction styles catch your fancy.

    Glad to know it was replaced. Looks really good. What labels are you using? They look quite nice.

    ...the gold decals really do pop against their colors; i think that's what pushed me over the edge tonight!..kind of reminds me of the '86 cassette reissues with gold accessories, in fact i may consider repainting these three accordingly...

    ...i already have the first four remix cassettes, which is why i was almost convinced i didn't need these before seeing your outstanding photography...

    Ah, and thanks for the compliment! Oh, the faction labels supplied on the sheet are quite a lot, so even when MMC gets through releasing the whole team, you'll have multiples left so that's why I chose to go ahead with the gold. It does pop!

    Oh yeah, forgot to mention. When you guys finally receive your Enmitus, don't wait to open him up. Transform him right away to see if you got the correct left and right guns, and facesculpt. Both Enmiti I opened up had different faces installed along the factory assembly line. Rushed paintjob leading to poor applique isn't cool either. I'm fortunate to be friends with the North American rep for MMC and OM that we live relatively close enough to get dinners and brought up the issues with him. He mentioned that the MMC boss have hinted at changing factory suppliers to improve the QC, but I guess it's not fully fleshed out yet.

    The lighting was making me think they were holographic.

    They're not holographic but they reflect light slightly. Pretty blingy overall as far as Decepticon faction symbols go.

    I know. Although it does seem kind of utilitarian and bland at the same time.

    I just picked this guy up and I think I like his colour scheme the best so far.
