    I have to redirect my shipment because of a change in address, which means, I'll be getting this guy a day late. Oh well.

    I just got back 2008 yen. That brings the price down to closer to $340 CAD, ignoring the conversion charges. So that helps a bit.

    I think it’s trying to emulate how his chest would flex when he bent his arms forward in the animation.

    Damn, I paid about $50 more than that... Mostly due to the shipping charge.

    The opposite probably. Remember, the people with complaints are way more prone to leave a review.
    Plus, most people won't be getting him until today.

    Just maybe it would be an easier idea.

    He has a friction joint that sits inside the butterfly joint (think of it like where your scapula is located) which is used to raise and lower the shoulders like a shrugging motion and then on his physical shoulder is a ratchet joint to move the arm. MP-36 Megatron has the same sort of assembly if you look at his shoulders.

    They won't break, but taking them off makes transforming his back a hell of a lot easier. His back is a bit tricky to get right the first time.

    I was just told they were thin plastic, so I assumed breakable.
