My seller messaged to say he thinks he's getting them this week, which is cool. Might be here in time for my birthday in a couple of weeks. It's actually going to be a present from my boy as he wanted to buy me a Transformer, so hope he's not disappointed!

 

We didn't get any release info from the factory but we will check with them
Happy birthday by the way!
 

 

Thanks, although I'm getting to the age when I'm not sure if I'm happy about them any more  

 

I'm surprised no other 3P MP company took a crack at this character.

 

Man, this was such a regret buy for me last yr ... ‘old’ XTB is not a fond memory

 

One of my few regrettable purchases as well. It’s a poorly conceived/executed toy despite looking great.

 

I love this dude he looks amazing. Grant it I don't transform my collection much but he's solid in any pose and it's like he jumped out the screen

 

It's definitely without question the V2... My version 2 had the thicker parts, better joints and added die cast.

Gregg, how is the overall feel on this figure? XTB doesn't have a great record, at least to me, until recently with their crackup release.

 

Get two...one for you and one for him! Happy Early Birthday by the way!  

Yeah mine is a V2 so I don't know if there is REALLY that much difference. I've heard some people say yes and others say it's pretty close to the same. Regardless, I agree with you that he's really cool looking on my shelf. Maybe if I was a transform it all the time figure it would be different...he does feel a little fragile. Still, I think he looks great and am very happy with mine. (add a thin rubber band from work and he's good to go with that sling shot!)  

 

wonder when it will show up on ebay. Been wanting this guy.

 

V1 absolutely. V2 fixed all the issues for me, heel spurs and hip flaps are a god send for overall poseability.

 

There is a night and day difference between the two. The first one is terrible. The second one...I've had no problems with. Seemed solid the one time I transformed it. The first I actually sold recently and wasn't willing to transform it back to alt mode to fit in the package as I wasn't confident if would survive transforming it back.

If people think their two are close to the same, I would question if they actually got a v2. The v1 is THAT bad...at least mine was.

 

This update is one of their great ones. The transformation isn't hard either, and the articulation is greatly improved.
