    I've always used museum putty. It's worked well so far, but I'm going to give the tape a try as the putty always has to be repositioned when you move the figure.

    So am I correct in guessing I'm to late on these guys? I finally got the funds for these guys and ordered Overbite but I can't find anyone selling the other five for a reasonable price.

    Pretty likely you're too late. If Pulse follows their pattern, there might be another - smaller - shot at Tentakill and Overbite, but I'd be surprised if there's another round on the others, at this point.

    Thanks, well Overbite has just become an instant regret purchase and he hasn't shown up yet. Had they been cheaper I would of jumped on them sooner, that's one subgroup not being completed I guess.

    I mean, there's still a chance, so don't give up hope yet. Just being realistic, it's an ever-decreasing chance.

    Too late most likely, but there is an alternative option of the God Neptune repaint.

    I'd rather Hasbro just re-release these on the American market (at 20 & 30 dollars respectively) then go for a repaint I have no care for and has no place in my collection.

    If it's any solace, you're just about right on time for the BWII repaints. May as well be a lesson for me and the other folks who neglected to hold onto pre-orders.

    Just to clarify: would you be looking for the rest for LESS than they originally retailed for, now?

    Fair, but a domestic hasbro release outside of the pulse imports is unlikely. If hasbro intended to release them
    Domestically they wouldn’t have opted for the import route in the first place

    Preferably less, the 35 dollars for a limb and 60 for a torso was a big turn away for me when the other combiners were 20 dollars for a limb and 25 to 30 for the torso. But now that I have the money for them I'd go no more then retail price.

    I can't say he's not floppy, but from some of the reviews I've watched, I think I got a pretty good copy overall. I wouldn't have left him in that running pose, but he is in it unassisted and without any kind of photographic trickery. Standing straight up wasn't possible, but the limbs also didn't detach from simply moving them around. He holds the weapons well enough, though I didn't even try Overbite, feeling certain that would be too heavy to hold up. Not rock-solid but also not so fragile I was afraid to touch him anywhere (that would be how I felt trying to pose God Ginrai!), I'm satisfied with him to the point that I might be changing my mind about buying God Neptune. Originally I was going to pass, but I enjoy the molds enough that I kind of want extra copies to keep in their individual modes, and I didn't go for any extras of King Poseidon.

    Sorry if that bad joke was too much. I won't do that stupid thing.

    Now I'm connecting some of my oversea friends to see if they can help me get this set eventually.

    Am I the only one to have this issue? This part of my Overbites arm was off in the box. I’m not sure if this is normal or not, but I can’t get the other arm piece to come off. It even looks like there might have supposed to have been a pin here that’s missing? The piece slides back into place and holds ok, so it’s not the end of the world. But it’s odd so I wanted to check with others. 263E4F0C-43AA-493D-AF5E-69177601983D.jpeg 91F871D6-B3C2-447E-AF04-08A19F302FA9.jpeg
    Also, one of the posts that keeps his robot/arm mode legs in place was shorter than the other, so one robot leg doesn’t lock into place, and the shark head seems to sit really loose on its friction pegs. I know others experienced qc issues with the set, but baring a bit of floppiness with Tentakil this is the first major issue I’ve had with them.

    Nope. That's an issue across-the-board. Needs a pin to hold it in, but they didn't for some reason. He's a floppy mess and doesn't hold together well.

    That's just Tak-Tom's new standard QC right there. See also God Bomber, Dai Atlas, Ginrai, most recent Masterpiece...

    As stated before this isn't a unique thing. There was never intended to be a pin. If you have POTP Rippersnapper, he also doesn't have the pin in that spot!

    Interesting....well regardless my King Poseidon/Piranacon is complete! I’ve used Seawing for the gun, because he allowed me to store all the other guns on him alone (except for Skalor’s shoulder cannons), making a super weapon. 65DDE29C-DDC4-43B4-898F-D7AD90ADF37C.jpeg 23452B0E-F090-4365-BE77-4A65EFCF3594.jpeg
