    They're good about B, but I never got a reply through the site messaging system on their site until I gave them a call.

    Both shoulders on mine does that, lol, I don't mind though they stay on just fine. I have no plans on gluing them sense I am going to work on elbow replacement parts, so he has a bend at the elbow.

    Mine arrived today. First experience with the mold.

    I’m blown away by the color scheme and quality. As beautiful as he is in photographs, he’s even better in person.

    You forgot the magic word about this mould, poseability! Great figure.

    I'm pretty sure they showed art of an Ultra Magnus, I'm sure there's an internal white core bot in there.

    There has never been official MT art of an Ultra Magnus colored Striker Manus mold. I believe LazyAza (or another poster) did a digibash

    Maketoy's Cross Dimension Magnus is a mad-max style rendition, in which he has lots of damage. No core bot is shown.

    I decided that I'd rather get Skywing because of the color palette. It reminds me of Armada's Jet Optimus...

    I got my replacement part from TCP. (Thanks again TCP!) Is the shoulder held on by glue?

    Looks great! *little off topic* really wish that particular Classics mold would get updated (at voyager scale) to include ankle tilt. And less forearm kibble.

    If your looking for that ankle tilt I saw a shop on shapeways that sells a ankle tilt kits for the classics mold.

    Thanks I'm not a problem at paint but I though I did pretty good.

    Anybody happen to have Delta Manus (or Striker or Noir) and any of the following figures:
    MMC Sphinx
    Maketoys Bounceback or Downbeat
    FP LER Volar

    I know that Sphinx and Bounceback are MP scaled and Manus is essentially Classics, but I'm wondering how far off they look next to each other.

    @Victorysabre I've got a Bounceback on order - if there hasn't been a response by the time I get mine I'll post a pic for you.

    @Victorysabre they are very off, both in scale and aesthetic.

    Unrelated/related, this is my first experience with both molds, been pleasantly surprised by them. Delta Manus looks great and the figure is a lot easier to transform than I expected - I was expected a lot of the fiddly bits and sharp edges I've come to expect from other MT figures and instead got a figure that really pays tribute to the Classics Prime while being slightly more complicated and much more poseable. I definitely see why everyone like him so much!

    Thanks! Yeah, I don't think they'd work as well as I'd want them to. I could get over the aesthetic differences, but the size just doesn't work for me.

    This guy is my first Maketoys figure. I was initially very uninterested in yet another Optimus, but the articulation ended up tempting me to want to experience it and the Noir colors tempted me most until Delta Manus showed up and then I saw he was actually in stock. Some of his joints are tight to the point that they're actually painful to get to move (mostly the front bumper/wheel sections, MAN those hurt unless I get some cloth to protect my fingers) but he's a gorgeous figure. Scourge/Nemesis is my go to Prime color scheme lately, but damn if I haven't found my ideal heroic colors for the big bot now!

    I wish Maketoys did some accessory packs separately. Would love to be able to give him more accessories but his hands seem a bit too small for standard 5mm stuff.

    Just received my Delta Manus yesterday...decided to give it a go after needing to buy something to get my new X2 Toys Skycrusher head delivered. Man this thing looks good!...but, it doesn't feel as "put together" as my Striker Noir. I never got a hold of the KO Striker Manus that had come out, but this FEELS like a KO version of my Striker Noir. I really can't put my finger on it...it just doesn't transform as easily, has gaps in places my Noir doesn't and even has a removable shoulder part that I didn't know was removable on it...in the end, I feel it should have been $10 less, maybe...but that Blue and Gold is SWEET!
    carry on...
