    You can't tell me that you've never had to take even the littlest bit of extra care to make sure the fist is balled up super tightly or whatever. A single knuckle out of alignment is often enough for things to get caught up, especially if you've modded your toy for poseable fingers, rather than stock hands. It's slightly less troublesome if the figure specifically has a hollow forearm or something for the hand to tuck into first, but toys not designed with fully-articulated hands often don't have that.

    The only "trouble" I've ever encountered was taking a few extra seconds to make show the fingers were properly positioned so that they looked presentable while gripping the weapon.

    The only true problematic experience with hands was on my Takara MP10B. The index pointer finger tip on one of stock hands (non-fully articulated) keeps popping out due to Takara assembling that finger tip joint to rely on friction to hold it in place instead of a pin. KFC's or ENESS's fully articulated hands for MP10B solves this issue.

    With MP-27 and MP-30 I replaced the stock hands with KFC hands and couldn't be happier. The thumb on the stock hands were prone to breaking off due to them not leaving enough clearance to insert or remove the hand held weapons, especially the twin pistols. Even optibotimus snapped his off.

    Also, the KFC fully articulated hands for MP11x based seekers (and Yes Model/BB7, and KBB KOs of those seekers) simply look MUCH better than the stock hands. Plus they are just as durable.

    That's much better! Let's just hope it doesn't happen to the replacement.

    I'm a little late to the party, but I just got this figure. Wildrider is my favorite Stunticon, and this figure embodies everything I love about him. This is possibly my favorite release thus far, and that says a lot because the last string of releases from XTB are really stellar and I love those a lot, too. This figure is just stunning to look at. I really love the transform, too, and I haven't found myself saying that much about 3rd party figures.

    I just recently became interested in these carbots. While I was able to find all the others, I can’t find Flipout. Am I too late? Or will there be a reissue? Thx in advance for any help.

    Really hope we get the "youth" toy version of Flipout soon. @ibot any update on the "youth" version? Eager for this last car for "youth" Berserkars.

    I forgot that there was a thread specifically for XTB Flipout. I'm so used to the team thread. Are there threads for the other members?

    This may have been one of the last solo threads for a combiner team member before the forum united better around having one dedicated thread per team. But it was convenient that this got bumped and it happens to the one "youth" version we're missing. :)
