    I was kinda hoping they'd fix that untabbing shoulder. That was my main gripe when I first got crash hog/wreckgar. Oh well.

    In case anyone that's interested in scale purpose, here's a pic with all 4 of them. I got them from Toy Dojo, Today :)  20200620_183009.jpg

    Noice! If you had to stack rank then from favorite to least favorite, how would they fare?

    Honestly, in my opinion, I think they are all same in ranking, b/c if you look at them, it's basically same figure with "Different" joints. I've always liked the Junkions, IDK why. Sort of Dream come true owning them. Can't wait till the next 2. Hope this helps :D

    Got my Wreck Gar Reissue today from Toy Dojo. i'm surprised how heavy and solid this figure is and while it's transformation was a pain at times I think it will look good on the shelf with other movie bots.

    Got Scraps and Castoff in earlier today. It was a nice surprise, since I wasn't expecting these until Monday.

    I also wanted to see how KFC's Junkions looked together.
    Some notable differences so far with Scraps and Castoff:
    Retooled hands with less articulation
    Rubber spikes are now hard plastic
    Packages no longer have the open book/window, so you can view the figure
    I'll post more, when I finish the Junkion shoot.

    I just thought I would post this for anyone new to this mold, make sure you remember to fold up the panel on the front of their thighs when transforming it, you can damage it if you don't, and it is prominently visible if it is damaged.

    Haven't been keeping up on these, but is there also another Wreck Gar? And is it in any way different to the original (new hands, new paint)?

    Bummer about the perma-curl, if that's what they have. Especially from KFC, the pioneers of finger articulation.

    I did this very thing to my Wreck-Gar; at least I can justify it as he’s a Junkions.

    I was wondering the same thing myself with the reissue of crash hog. They repainted dumpyard with metallic paint but kept the flexible fingers.

    My friend recently picked up the Crash Hog reissue, and it has the original articulated fingers. Not sure about the paint, as I wasn't able to compare it to my 1st run version.

    LEK Customs is doing a cel shading paint job on Crash Hog. I wish I had the balls to take apart a figure and paint it myself. These figures scream to be cel shaded. 20200622_131634.jpg 20200622_131651.jpg

    So what's the overall QC on these new figures like considering these are the first figures KFC/XTB has produced since the pandemic?

    Nice. That looks like a v1 Dumpyard since it still has fully articulated hands.

    Any differences between the reissue Crash Hog/Wreck Gar and the other first release?
    It looks like Scraps and Castoff are out now. I need to follow up with my preorder from China.

    So the new Dumpyard has the fully articulated hands?
