on one hand i want to see PX do more IDW figures....on the other i want them to keep doing Victory.

has PX ever done a combiner? i'd be interested to see what they come up with when doing a liokaiser and roadceaser or even landcross with ALL the individual robots and combinations possible.

and galaxy shuttle.....i want galaxy shuttle

 

for those who have him, whats the deal with the hips? I don't have ismenios, so I'm not sure what the complaint is. Is it the weight of the diecast thats the problem? or is it the spacing between ratchets?

how do the ratchets work? is it the outward movement or the forward and back movement thats ratcheted?

would a shitload of future conceivably fix the issue or does it need new gears with smaller teeth to fix your complaints?

 

Ugh, TCP already sold out. I was hoping they'd have it next week when I got my OT check.

 

Somebody has to do a Galaxy Shuttle already. Getting one as nice as Kadmos would be deeeeeeeeee-licious.

It feels like spacing between ratchets. Fortunately on mine it doesn't affect stability and he can hold poses just fine.
I always prefer NO jiggle of course, but it doesn't bother me enough to do surgery.

 

Got him as part of my haul today. The articulation is AMAZING but he's a lighter than I expected.

 

Really? Mine arrived today too, and he was heavier than i expected. Seems like a decent chunk of diecast in his legs. Pretty damn cool figure overall. Some hasbro (ironic) dry rubs on his shoulder really make him pop. Mine also did not have the feet screwed on. They're not going to fall off, but that seems odd. I wonder if they had issues with that long post they slide over splitting with a screw in it and they just left them out? You would really have to pull to make them come off so the screws aren't even necessary.

 

He looks amazing but my TF/Anime/Games/Figures budget is spoken for the next three months or so. Maybe I’ll pick him up at TFCon DC.

 

do the fingers seem really, REALLY stiff & tight to anyone else? Maybe i'm overly cautious but it seems odd...

 

They are definitely the tightest finger joints I've messed with so far on any figures.

 

Whelp, I placed an order at toydojo. I'm looking forward to my first Planet X figure.

 

Hope you like it!

Yep, and because of how tight and beefy they are I actually like them a lot more than any other hands with articulated fingers I’ve come across. In my experience fully articulated fingers have been either too loose, too fragile or both.

 

The legs do feel great but the upper body feels very light to me.

And yeah, nothing holding my feet on but tension as well. It's really odd...

This doesn't mean I don't really dig this release. It may be the most articulated MP scale release I own.

 

Same, makes it a bit difficult to pose them, really gota work them.

 

+1. They are super tight but i don't feel like i'll break them. My ONLY complaint is 2 of the screw hole covers should have been metallic blue. Other than that i've messed with this thing all night getting him stickered up amd posed.

 

Remember guys. This guy will still need to combine with "Victory Leo". We can only understand some of the decisions Planet X has made for this figure once that gets released.

 

I'm all in for whatever victory figures they do. Been playing with ismenios for weeks and couldn't put this guy down all day. I did find a super easy way to put in his screw hole covers. Since they have a tiny hole in the center i trimmed off any little bits of flash, put a very small screwdriver bit i have in the center, and put the bit in the hole. It kept it from getting wonky and i could just push them right in without them getting crooked.

 

Anyone painted the area between the eyes yet ?

 

I had a friend send me a picture of that so I could photoshop and it doesn't look so good. I'm thinking it might be because camera zoom on things like this exaggerate things and make it looks worse but I wasn't satisfied with how it looked with that are painted all silver. The head is kind of a mess.

Admittedly a shitty Photoshop but whatever. Crossing my fingers for a G1 upgrade. There's way too much space around the eyes to look good in any design.

 

Sorry I don't want to come off negative but I myself was around for g1(turn 40 in oct) and am still a big fan of the og series but why do we always have to turn every transformer into geewun representations, because I myself believe the idw representation can make it with that fan base supporting it without g1 saving it.

 

Preach!
