    Appreciate that. Been wanting one and that price just hits my limit for these kits.

    Have you fiddled with the kit for standard OpOp? It improves the figure so much that it moved to my top five for 2018.

    Got my kit yesterday, and I'm absolutely in love with this set. $45 was just the right price. Makes the $80 cost the original figure totally worth it.

    Also love that besides hands and wings, the old wrist guards and tiny guns don't go to waste.

    Really feel he captures the best of the PotP evolution gimmick.

    There is not enough pics and vids of this. Anybody can contribute with theirs?

    What are your thoughts about it? Im not sure yet if I want it for the high price.


    Is this video overly negative?
    How to avoid Gun handles paint scratching?

    Where is it for 45usd?

    just want to info, the shotgun grey weapon can be extent. it's a really cool upgrade. but i hate the big gorilla feet that connect to the tab under small optimal. not the upgrade kit fault tho.

    the blink blink rifle can also be positioned similar like galaxy OP siege. using the leg of the small optimal.

    now i want the reprolabel. hahaha. sorry no picture. i will upload later after work

    I still kinda regret ditching the old wings as soon as I got it. The arm guards would've just been in the way in most modes, but it occurred I could've modded the winglets into cleavers after the fact.

    Oh well modder's remorse I guess. Still a great set.
