    I think he just means that you can always unscrew them if you want to remove the wings, so it's not "permanent", it's just more secure.

    I was so excited to try this when I saw one of the post on customising the painted face that I went home and tried it as well. Looks like an improvement but those eyes still feel too close to each other. Star saber why is you face so long? 20200613_233004.jpg

    Probably a deep seated sadness. He's at an age where looking back on his life he sees so many of the aspirations he had as a young robot have gone unrealized, and he no longer has the vim and vigor to take up those mantles now. Plus his favorite fembot has been seen slutting it up with Overlord. His robokid has been convicted of illegal energon trafficking, and will be an old bot by the time he exits the Cybertronian prison system. In the public eye he's still adored as a hero, while his home life has collapsed and is beyond repair.

    He oddly looks cross eyed due to the narrow face.

    This thing needs a new head so bad. An excellent looking figure with a god-awful head sculpt.

    I like this design, but the head design is so bad that I can't bear to buy it. I'd almost rather scrounge about for the MP version. Really a shame.

    Being informed some people don't like this figure and/or this interpretation of the character. Don't fully understand hating a figure or character that lets you do this, but different strokes I suppose.

    You’d rather get something that looks, to me personally; 100% garbage all around — rather than get something much cooler looking and only has a not-so-good head sculpt?

    That's not necessary, man. That makes you just as confrontational and negative as the detractors. C'mon.

    I edited the post twice so it wouldn't come off like "fuck you haters" but instead "ha ha look what you can do with this dick of a character." I have apparently failed.

    I honestly have no qualms about the figure or the headsculpt. I think he fits my collection well as idw star saber. Who i consider a poor representation religious fanatic in the books. Ill pick up a hastak commander class too if they ever get around to him but will not do masterpiece. Not for me.

    I really hate the head, but it does not look half bad in person. So do not worry about it! Kadmos is a real eyecather on any shelf.

    I'm surprised we've not seen an upgrade set for this figure like they did with Ismenios.

    They could do a G1 set with a new head (I personally don't mind his stock head after painting it but options are good) a blaster, shield and maybe a mini sword for Saber. Not sure what else they could do which is probably why they've not done one.

    Really want a shield for this guy, I've seen the masterpiece shield loose on Ebay but its pricey and I'm not sure how it would scale. If anyone who has both gets a chance could they please post a picture of Kadmos and the MP's shield, I realise he probably can't hold it but just interested in scale with each other.

    They could just do a upgrade set that gives two new heads, one g1, and one that is a better representation of idw saber. They could also include a shield and sword for saber and it would sale big time.
