    It's weird but I'd have to say maybe but not yet? At least for me. I got a strange ambivalence - it's not like I'm not enjoying the figure, or that anything looks at all off or anything, I am loving owning a Marvel UK Comics Springer with hella poseability, I know he's 'Toon style but for me, in-hand those colours are four colour comics printing gloriously vivid.
    All that taken the rigorousness of the transformation (for which my affection is slowly increasing) and the not-quites of his weapons when compared to that sublime T30 sword transformation, in a line of such a high watermark he might be a highlight but not the foremost?

    Thanks. IIRC he comes with the unmasked head and getting the proper head requires buying something else, so that sucks. Also it's old so I'm probably not going to be able to get it anyway.

    Does anyone have G1 hoists headpiece, 2 orange back spikes and the tiny green square from the roof of his car?

    Also any chance on anyone having the reprolabels?

    Hmm... no word on my Siege Springer yet. This... this is fine. I'm fine.

    I'm not fine...

    This is what I get for ordering him a few weeks after everyone else... :lol

    That's right yeah, the masked 'Soleron' was only available through their website for a limited time. The unmasked head is still nice though! He's got an impressive scowl. :lol

    I ordered and paid for him as soon as the preorder went up on Kapow yet nothing....

    Any shout on Brunt??

    The UK is really getting shafted with this line.

    Mine is at Heathrow airport. Another 500-odd miles and it'll be here :D 

    Will open mine and sell the Battlemasters. Undecided on the effects parts, I don't have any yet so will see how I feel about them in-hand.

    Meanwhile, a long day of DIY will be capped off with beer and barbecue (I'm off work this week).

    Hoping all you TFN returnees have recovered from any injuries sustained during trouser-shattering x

    Cheers! Glad to get a forumite recommendation. The "About Us" page is bloody Lorem Ipsum so normally I wouldn't touch the site with a barge pole :D

    Although I’d argue it’s even better the other way around.

    That’s the first order I’ve placed there myself, but I believe I’m correct in saying that fellow threadizens @Seeaich & @Decepticreeps100 are repeat customers :)
