Are you kidding me? Lol. I just bought this from BBTS last week for 150. Fuck me.

 

email them and ask for store credit

 

dose PE-DX08B - Origin Xerxes come with the guns?

 

Nope only the Great Sword, two large claws, a Crossbow and the whip/tail weapon with two daggers that make up his tail end

 

Anyone know how to fix this? The right forearm won't securely stay pegged in robot mode and gets knocked out very easily.

I tried nail polish because that has helped me with some loose pegs before. But it didn't seem to really work. I don't know if I applied it on the wrong spot or not but without my notice I did smudge some of the gunmetal paint on near the bottom of the elbow joint. I have since covered that mess up with a black marker because it's easier to hide and cause I don't have any gunmetal paint.

 

Get some Pledge Floor Polish(that the new name of it, used to be called Future). I would do about 3 coats where the nib is (where the forearm catches) and add more coats until it works. Pledge is extremely thin so 3 - 5 coats isn't outrageous.

 

What spot are you referring to? The little stub in the arm or the big square spot? Cause I applied a few coats onto the little sub and it didn't do much. Then I tried the big square but I'm still not getting that strong click like on the other arm. Now while it does hold much better it can still times when I move the arm that I accidentally knock it out. But it'll still pop out whenever I have him hold the big sword with that arm. Do I just need to apply more coats at that point?

 

the panel where the stub is. Yes, just apply more coats

 

You could always try wrapping the peg with tape or even paper if you want to see if thickening it actually helped or not.

 

Okay a little bit of tape actually helped a lot. Now it clicks in and is more secure. Thanks.

 

Sorry to resurrect an old thread like this, but I recently scored an origin xerxes and a couple of other cool figures for a really great price. Got them in hand today and finally had the chance to fiddle with origin Xerxes.

After reading several threads and written reviews on many different Leonidas iterations, and the first Xerxes, I was prepared to have a fiddly, wobbly, loose mess on my hands. There surprisingly little information on Origin Xerxes, so I just assumed the worst.

However, this figure is extremely tight. The legs have solid ratchets, the waist is tight, nothing is loose (except the tail, which I expected). Does this mean they fixed the looseness issues with origin Xerxes? If so, why has no one ever mentioned it? Its the thing that put me off Leonidas and the original Xerxes, and its what people have complained about with the mold for years.

I even contacted the seller to see if he fixed the joints himself(he's a member here and on a Transformers Facebook group I'm in), but he said the joints were all super tight right out the box.

Anyway, I'm just really excited to have this mold in my favorite color scheme and it actually has zero issues.

 

Is this the best version of the PE Lio Convoy mold? I’m interested but it’s a bit confusing that there is an original, Xerxes, EVA, origin and origin Xerxes at this point, not to mention all the KOs haha. From what I could see in a review, it seems like Origin Xerxes may have stronger leg ratchets than the other molds - does that mean it won’t suffer all the loose hip issues other ppl have had with previous figures? Thanks!
