    Does the crotch ratchet increased from the original 20 to 24 or 28?
    I'm glad it's 28 ratchets.
    The shoulder ratchets do not require holding power, so I want things that are x2.;)

    See that's annoying that they allowed people who didn't buy from them to pick up heads before those who did (or worse yet buy multiples), particularly now that TE has said it won't produce any more. That's why I bought from from Oku, although my original retailer is shipping one along with my most recent purchase so I will have two after all...

    I've been messing with it but so far haven't found a decent way of doing it. The ratchet teeth are built into the pieces themselves. Not like most figures where the ratchet teeth are on a removable piece. I have created teeth one side and flat reverse which makes the joints friction joints but the figure won't transform then because the gap between the shoulder and body for example are too wide. The transformation needs them to become flush.

    The alternative is to shave off the current teeth and replace them. That's obviously permanent.

    I will keep playing

    Yeah, it is what it is. No point crying about it now, just hope I can find one somehow. Otherwise, maybe I'll get MP44 for it's head.....

    I have an extra version 2 head I purchased off ebay. I was going to customize it. I could offer it for sale. I paid $13 for it so I could let it go for $16 shipped if someone needs it for their version 1 figure.

    TE should do another repaint release. A full silvery chrome hate plague armor version. With a special accessory. I'd take that!

    Huh. As a kid, I always saw him as white in that episode, which I thought was an odd choice for being coated in some kind of metal. Looking at your screenshots, it does look like they were trying for chrome and just didn't draw it well.
