    Only a very very little rotation left to right. It goes up ( but with the entire piece where the head is attached, due to transformation) but it can't go down because there isn't a neck and the head already touches the chest.

    His fat head was fighting me a little but overall I love this figure. Beautiful paint and surprisingly pleasant transformation. Highly recommend even if you're not the biggest Bayformer fan.

    I got this one too and I do like it. I think going with the sidearm mold was a good choice. Unless they modified the studio to get rid of the elf shoe look, I would be a customer if they did that.

    I'm not sure what I'm doing incorrectly, but i just got Bottleneck (brilliant figure!) but his knees cause the car mode to act like a seesaw. I'm not sure how to fold them higher inside of the body. Any help would be appreciated!

    Anyone? I've tried watching YouTube vids (even Emgo) and I'm just not getting it I guess.

    I think, this transformation sequence would be useful. I transformed mine, watching this and had no issues at the end.

    This is actually the only video that shows how important are the positions of the legs, hands and head for the transformation of Barry. Thank you for sharing!

    Recently got the MPM5 Barricade Black Mamba KO a few days ago (Finally)

    Been messing with him and it's great, anybody have issues getting the elbow tabs to...well, tab in? Mine slot in but there's no click, friction or anything, or is this just me?

    Same thing, I bought a new one from the new batches, cause my first one from the first batch had a ton of paint chips through time, and I have the same issue as yours. It feels like the latest versions aren’t up to par with the first batch so I’d say maybe it’s a common issue.

    I've "tightened" mine a bit by just softly squeezing the places where they tab in to get a bit more friction, shaved a teeny bit of plastic off the upper arm part to get it as flush as possible and on the large tab itself, cut the extra triangular bit in the center out.

    I only paid like 50 bucks for it so I was open to experiment a bit haha

    Anyone know of any new oversized studio series figures that might be coming out? Not necessarily from Black Mamba or any of its subsidiary companies? Maybe news of A ko mpm 10 and 11?

    With the recent crackdown on KO companies, don't expect to hear anything from them at all. News will be sparse, at best, and the "announcement of products could be them showing up on etailers' sites.
