    Yep. And with the ‘chest gap mod’ too.

    Anyone willing to sell me a black mamba Prime head? Can I justify buying the whole figure just to use the head on this figure?

    I trust WJ is smart enough to release a larger head of their own (BMB style. Metallic paint and all) and maybe even a fixed ab section. They can make a $20 kit or something.

    BTW, I got my thunder leader two days ago. Still MISB, I always take my time with new stuff. First impression, he looks prettay prettay nice.

    Hot take: The alt mode on the voyager looks better.

    Huh, I didn't know it had light up eyes.
    That chest gap mod really improves the figure.

    As much as i like the bigger head and the eyes i don't think i would be willing to pay 100$ just for that.

    What did you have to remove in order to install the new head and how did you install it?
    The eyes look so much better, instead of like he's squinting.

    Mine showed up today. Mixed feelings in hand. Lots of things they got really right, but I still may like Black mamba's better- not sure. If Black Mamba's had the mirrors there would be no question. Of course Black mamba's really is too big, that doesn't help either.

    Still, it is pretty amazing and very nice!

    What do you think would have improved it to be a more definitive version over the BMB Prime?

    Same thing everyone here is complaianing about, the chest is weird. It honestly looks like the chest isn't even seated properly. I spent a while fiddling, thinking it was maybe half transformed in assembly and seated in the wrong place. As far as I can tell the grooves it looks like it should go in are left over from mpm (where they were used) and are not intended to be used on this toy.

    Also, I can't get the blue waste panels (just below the headlights on most versions of this prime), to turn and adjust to where I would expect they should go, and there are actual tabs in place to prevent it. *It just occured to me, it's possible that may be an assembly error and they may be on the wrong sides- I may have to unscrew those later and see*

    Don't get me wrong- it IS COOL. It's just's just that the chest doesn't seem to fit together the way you'd expect.
