    I don't speak Japanese. Did they say anything in that video about the differences between the first run version and the second run version?

    I'm used to Takara. CHINESE. What are they saying in CHINESE about the second run, if anything?

    Cryotek (Universe) - Transformers Wiki Cryotek was just a straight repaint, but the Jiang Xing representative, JXF, did say they were trying to work on making a "small pet" for him (likely Chro). So he might have a "Targetmaster" partner.

    Yes. Quoted this post from JXF, the Jiang Xing representative on these boards, from the Jiang Xing Tyga Eagle thread:

    I am dangerously close to buying this beast, but I would appreciate some clarity on a couple things

    1) it it true that it's essentially impossible to pose or transform this guy without paint chipping?

    2) what are the changes if any are being made to the figure for the re-release? and if so does it include any type of paint fix?

    1: For the initial release, yes. For the second run, we don't know because it hasn't come out yet.
    2: From what's been said, they may be either loosening some of the tighter joints to assist with preventing paint chipping from parts hitting together (which I hope they don't do, because loosening them isn't going to prevent that, plus the joints are perfectly tight and don't need to be looser), or hopefully they use a more durable paint.

    cool, thanks for the answer. I think it’s a beautiful piece but I wont be able to deal with major paint chipping as I like to transform my transformers.
