    I was really psyched to get them, but when I found out they have transparent plastic joints, I couldn't let myself get them. It isn't as much of an IF it will break, but when. I heard of people having breaks within 24 hours of getting the toy.

    From what I’ve seen it’s people twisted the joints in directions they’re not meant to go

    I don’t want to risk it. If they rerelease them with normal plastic joints I’ll get them

    Same here. If transformed them multiple times each and not a stress mark in sight. As long as you're not forcing them in the wrong direction you've got nothing to worry about.

    Finally shipped my order that had these in it, and kinda underwhelmed compared to PX previous figures which I have loved. Still hope they continue the line, but stick with previous sizes, no more small bots.

    These certainly aren't PX's finest, but they do look great under Vulcan's foot while squirming for dear life.

    How do these compare size-wise to the Fansproject Insecticons?

    They are roughly the same size, but FP are much bulkier.

    ...kids are baby goats; traditionally, thin lambskin gloves were light and delicate to allow for gentle handling without marring an objet d'art...

    I’d like to see someone tackle these big bois to go along with the Fall of Cybertron trio: 969F40A6-7DA6-4EFE-B49F-2441981A1801.jpeg 55F58CF9-AF92-4284-AFC6-22E0DAD918C5.jpeg

    Also can confirm that Planet X kickback is garbage (to me). Hasbro/takara’s Kickback is just a way better figure, and is more accurate in general, it’s just way too blocky for me, but the Planet X kickback will make for a great generic insecticon. 5C46229F-CA0B-404A-8D1C-2DCB2B2CCFD5.jpeg

    So they are smaller that the official Kickback? I had hoped they were the same size as I love my kickback, but he needs some company so I was considering these guys. Bit turned off now if you think they’re not as good.

    The official kickback is a head taller than all of them. I use him as the leader.

    Got a set off a fellow member for $75. Can someone post a pic of them next to Planet X Vulcun and a few TFP deluxes?
