    Both of my IT's legs were floppier than my THF, but did have better arms, but the paint apps on my copy of my THF are better than both IT's. So who knows. I'm just glad that which ever ko/4th party MP Megatron you decide on you can get it and the others total for less than the official.

    Just curious, did you have to unhook his butt panels (that sounds so wrong!) to attach him to his stand or did they fix that issue with newer runs on the IT version?

    I got my THF from TF Direct for around $60 USD. Seems alright so far.

    My THF is completely rock solid but my IT is more floppy in the legs and the arms. The hammer behind the leg actually bothers me on the IT it just flops around even with a neutral pose. I like both but would choose the THF if I had to get one.

    I bought an IT-01 from an eBay seller and it came with an LED head. They are claiming that BMB and IT upgraded the head to LEDs. Has anyone else ever received an IT-01 that had an LED head?

    I am thinking this is a BS explanation for sending me a used IT-01 with a replacement head.

    I'd lean toward the BS option myself but not sure...

    Any notable differences in the kit head and yours?

    None. Mine even came with the yellow eyed G1 toy head, even though IT-01 doesn't come with the Toy chest plate. There are also so many face plates that two were just in a little baggy in the crotch of Megatron, because there aren't spaces in the plastic for them (IT-01 normally comes with 4 faces; the Model 001 kit and mine came with 6).

    That does not seem normal. Is this one the IT? Wasn't there reports of yellowing and discoloration with the IT already in the past?

    No chipping or yellowing on my copy of IT-01 and I've had it since it was first released.
