Man, almost makes me which I had Apache

 

I was wondering when someone would post a sword fight with those two.
Now the newly released Hydra makes 3 sworded figures from FansToys.

 

I was thinking the same thing  

My Hydra is in on the way. So I should have him join in when he gets here.

 

Mine is on the way too. ETA is this Friday.

 

That’s Awesome. He looks incredible. I’m really excited to get him. I don’t have an ETA unfortunately, it’s whenever at this point...

 

3 or 8? Every dinos has a sword too.

 

I’ve transformed Quietus five times since receiving him as a gift on Saturday. I was already aware of the chest paint issues from transformation from this thread. That didn’t stop me though. But I did pick up some furniture foot pads for less than $3 and added a small strip to the problem areas on the knees. I’m still careful when transforming him but it gives me a little insurance that I won’t damage him further. The pads are present in every picture I’ve posted. They aren’t really noticeable. I know we shouldn’t have to do this but I really love this figure and transforming him is quite fun so I want him to look his best. Last picture is of the minimal damage to the chest after two transformations before I added the protective strips.

 

Good idea!

 

Not counting all 5 of the dinobots!

 

True. I forgot about that.

 

Brilliant idea. I'll have to pick these up.
Keep us posted on how well they protect the chest after a couple more transformations since applying them.

 

Well, what does the tracking say?
What's the shipping method?
Is tracking through USPS.com?
Who is the seller?

 

ShowZ. I live in Canada now so I don’t know if it would even go through USPS. I’m using 17Track and it has said “electronic information submitted by shipper” since the 21st.

 

ShowZ will not ship through the United States Postal Service (USPS) to get your package through to Canada.

It depends on the method you chose when you checked out. If you used China Post or EMS, both are trackable through their own services, or interestingly, through Canada Post. In my experience with packages shipped from China, you occasionally get problems that the package is in the system (so, it's on the way to you) but the tracking method does not pick up the package after it enters the system. Basically, the box is "en route", but you really don't have any idea of where exactly it is.

That said, if it's handled at some point by Canada Post, tracking within Canada picks up as soon as it enters the CBSA facility when it arrives inbound. You can try entering the tracking number information in the Canada Post system to see what it provides (China Post and EMS tracking integrates with Canada Post).

 

Also Lupus, if you want to count his tail/sword.

 

Also, the Dinobots would like to have a word...or should I say s word

 

This conversation made me think of this scene.



I love that scene.

 

So after having Quietus for over a month, I have finally had the free time to mess around and transform him. Some thoughts, the transformation is not as horrible as some make it out to be. Just take your time and spudgers are your best friend. No scuffing on the chest plate as I tabbed it in slowly and last, there is about a millimeter of clearance between the knees and the chest on mine. The cockpit did not sit flush, but after really tabbing it in and out a few times and then shaving the tiniest amount off it sits flush with enough of the peg coming through to tab into the cockpit. I love it and don't consider this a fail on FTs part at all. I think it is better than Apache, which is my least favorite FT product to transform (I own 14). Still haven't attempted Rogue though. Quietus is probably one of my favorite in my collection, beautiful from pretty much every angle in bot mode and jet mode. Here are some pictures.

P.S. I like the wingtips out.
