    Crossing posting this from the Feedback forums for maximum exposure:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    Mine arrived.

    Siiiiiiigh......

    Please people, PLEASE stop watching reviewers who don't actually try to transform things correctly.

    In the first transformation into Ape mode I managed to tab everything together into an absolute brick. Full on CLICK; not just some holding soft tabbing. CLICK!

    Tabs in front , top , and back. ALL SNAP! Tightly.

    Lastly, don't rely on photos, the off white isn't too bad in person at all.

    [​IMG]


    There should be solid tabbing at all these points:

    White part over the top of the red hinge:
    CLICK
    [​IMG]

    Two white L and R peices under the neck part:
    CLICK
    [​IMG]

    Bottom of black parts in body:
    CLICK
    [​IMG]

    Side parts into the middle assembly section on back:
    CLICK
    [​IMG]

    Everything should sit flush and be rock solid from all the aforementioned CLICKS!

    Right on!

    It's just annoying me, having since posted this I watched yet anther Youtube reviewer who went on and on about the lack of a solid tabbing beast mode. Worst.

    Lastly, if you want to match the reds a bit more, simply hit the shield with a coat of matte finish.

    This is after one quick coat:

    Got mine today as well, and yeah, he's super solid when all the tabs are engaged. It also isn't difficult to transform as long as you pay attention to where everything goes.
    The only part I'm not keen on is that the cockpit doesn't tab in tightly due to the ports being on thin pieces.
    Overall, it does feel like a Titans Return figure, but I'm glad to have it in Siege.

    I had that issue too. Try and get a finger or something behind the piece with the female end on it (which is actually the foot) while you peg it in the first time. Once you pop it in, it sits securely in there.

    there's no click, it should just stay in with the friction of the peg.
    if that's not enough for you you can use the usual friction enhancement methods(clear nail polish, pledge, superglue)

    Can confirm. The dullcoat makes the reds match much better.

    There's a spring inside the head that may be too strong. Others have reported that as well.
    Check out the review thread for solutions.

    Almost passed on Brunt. Glad I changed my mind. Have enjoyed mixing him up with Sixgun. 6AE3E6DF-56BA-4566-AD15-C92E7475927D.jpeg

    Well their plastic might've been initially. But have a drink on their behalf.

    Seeing all the pics and posts about Apeface is making me excited to get mine. Ordered it this morning, according to Amazon should be here Tuesday. Good times ahead!

    Clip on through friction. Either something is broken or use the tried and tested floorwax method (Floorshine is what I use).

    I'd say the blow drier but it is clear plastic, might cause warping.
