    This has to be the coolest 3P figure I've seen in a while. Too bad I don't have the room to display him.

    I called literally every single day for a week, leaving voicemails every time before I received a response. I started off saying I just wanted to talk, then after a couple of days I started to expressing my dissatisfaction with their business. If they hadn't called me back when they did, I was going to threaten to report them to the BBB. And if no communication was had after that, I was actually going to report them. Good luck.

    Got him when he first came out and, aside from him stabbing me as Megatrons tend to do, I'm very happy with him. Just wish the fingers were more moveable.

    Truthfully the only problem comes with the weight of the wings on his back knocking him over in Robot mode. But dragon mode looks stunning.

    Received mine last week and agree that he’s an absolutely stunning figure. Wish he could support his own weight better, but overall I’m satisfied

    The key is to have the wings in different positions based on transformation. When in figure mode keep his wings neutral or slightly forward. When in dragon mode keep his wings angled back between 30 to 45 degrees. Ymmv but I've found this works best for me when positioning him.

    Messing with his ankles also works wonders, as another member noted here:

    Love that they turned the dragon head into a fusion cannon for him.

    No lie, that was one of the main reasons I got this guy. I could never stand the original toy's single noodly dragon arm. With this redesign you can have it either way, so everyone wins!

    Yup, 100%. If you adjust the ankles correctly and use the thigh swivels slightly he has no problems standing with the wings in any position except straight back. This and their Gorira are the only figures that have a self to themselves, both are absolutely gorgeous. IMG_20190212_123619.jpg

    Actually surprised they managed to keep the neck so possable even with the cannon gimmick. This was definitely a good buy.

    I want to pose him up above Gorira, but his flight stand area looks unique. Does anyone know what kind he uses?

    yeah, think i over explained it XD just wanted to be sure peeps got it right if they tried it like that.

    edit- decided to take the hips apart aswell, see what was going on in there, and the ratchet mechanism is just stupid, its a tiny tooth piece with a small but solid spring underneath it, wouldnt look out of place on a voyager figure tbh. i added some plasticard under the spring, and the hips can now support the figures weight! bit happier with it now :)  after PE fixed gorira, im amazed they didnt sort this on the reissue.

    My copy doesn't have any hip problems. I have noticed others have issues with their hips though. Maybe I got lucky?
