    These look good, but I have no idea where I'd put them. WAAAAAY too big! I'll live vicariously through everyone's photos.

    No need for any fussin' or a-fightin'! We're all here to talk about toys!
    Very cool toys, but toys, still.

    Anyway, I reaaaally hope there are numerous ratchets in those wings! Yeesh!

    Hopefully the world will start settling down, and we can avoid that.
    In the meantime, welcome to "waiting for landbull"!

    Figured out a trick to the hands. If u angle the entire thumb 45 degrees and bent the last digit slightly it wont get caught on the inside of the forearm cavity

    I bend the fingers as much as I can (90 degrees) at the joint closest to the palm. Then I bend the knuckle in the fingers until it rests against the palm (ends up being less than 90 degrees) as much as I can. This results in a fist that is as short as possible which fits into the cavity without binding. Another trick is to straighten the elbow so that you can open the arm beyond 90 degrees. This makes it much easier to get the hand out since there is no nub on the wrist joint.

    The thumb is what's catching I believe. Also the piece everyone keeps breaking in arm mode, dont bother tabbing it in. The arm is stable without it

    wow, after watching this video I highly respect these designers this brand. The passion they have and there past experiences from working many years with Hasbro and Gundam models. It really shows with these predacons the mixture of transformers and Gundam.

    interesting though seeing JX Metalbeast Winged Dragon....did they design that as well?

    Tried that, too. Did not work for my figure. :/
    Glad you've got it to work, though.
    After the right thumb broke, I tried (very carefully) every way I could think of with the left.
    The right hand still got caught even without the thumb, so I think my figure just had way too much paint inside the forearm.
    Ah well. Looks like a great team working on these guys, so hopefully I'll have a replacement soon (and hopefully I'll be able to assemble it)

    Nice video. Hasbro now has a clear video on who to hunt down :D  I did not know so much machinery was involved into making these toys. Quite a lot of manual labour as well.

    As nice as this video is, I wonder what the "scale discussion" team video would be like. I imagine quite the opposite of this peaceful coexistence :D

    Lol hunt down, but yeah wow the amount of labor work and machinery gave me a new prospective of respect with this company. And I agree I bet the scale discussion probably turns to a tfw like debate. Lol :lol 

    That’s impressive, now I see why! when one of the designers posted on the JX metalbeast thread. That they are a company with many years of experience, they weren’t kidding.

    I just bought Spark Toys' Spartacus. From the great paint, solid engineering and tampographs I'm really getting a Cang Toys feel from it. Does anybody know of a link between the defunct Spark Toys and Cang Toys?
