    It's really up to you. I don't see recent negative feedback rolling in for gongxifacai8 but it's your call.

    Is that Badcube Huff 2.0 on the top shelf? It certainly looks more yellow than orange for some reason.

    Probably just the lighting. It was a quick shot in my game room without any additional lights brought to bear.

    He's very definitely orange in real life.

    Has anyone attempted to close the gaps in between the halves of the shins? Lets down the figure a bit I think.

    Yesterday I received Huff, it’s not the best MP that I own, but it’s okay. It almost gives me a Legend class figure feeling for the solutions and materials used, that makes it more playable.
    My problem is that the paint on a side of a foot is terrible, I can see the metal on a spot:

    I tried to contact TFSource, but considering that it was their last copy I think I am out of luck.
    I’m having bad luck recently, FT Phoenix and DX9 Gabriel with broken pieces and now this :(

    Ouch. You can always try to message TFS, but I think I recall that BC didn't have good after support. You may end up needing to consider a bit of a repaint to fix that.

    As I was expecting TFS will not be able to fix it and will just accept the figure in return as an in store credit....better than nothing I suppose

    I've been trying to track one down for a decent price. I really just have him and Hatch left to get for my minibots. If anyone is selling one, PM me!

    I think it’s a great toy; perhaps that’s the operative word. It certainly plays like a toy should play while having some semblance of 3P priced construction.

    Hey, I’m trying to hunt this guy down and I can’t seem to find him used or new anywhere. Does anyone happen to know of a good place to check? Tryna finish out my mini bots. If anyone on here wants to sell theirs pm me.

    I hope FT does these minibots. We finally need a version of them that is done right.

    What's wrong with the Badcube Huffer? I can't see FT doing a significantly better job than the v2. I can see them using unnecessary die cast, metallic paint and charging more than it's worth for it though.

    I can see FT doing a MUCH better job.
    What's wrong with Badcube Huffer?
    -plastic tires (Like XTB, Badcube refuses to put rubber tires on their minibots)
    -in hand doesn't have the feel like a premium collectible, 3P MP figure. It was a only a notch or two better than cheaper kids toy from a McDonald's Happy Meal. I was extremely disappointed. My FT Spindrift was a MUCH better experience.
    -inaccurate shape of the cab.

    So far no one has done an MP Huffer properly.

    I think the Magic Square one might be the best on the market. It's just not very G1.

    BC Huffer isn't that bad. The plastics are a bit light, and he's no MP-10 build heft, but so as long as you have a V2, he's a pretty close fit.

    Better than FT Seaspray, that's for sure.
