    Ok. Not the best paint match I've ever done but it's better than the light pipe yellow. Just waiting for the gold marker for the eyes which should be here Wednesday

    I wouldn’t be mad if they never finish the set. These 2 are amazing and are standalone figures for me.
    Also helps that I have 0 attachment to gee wun

    Is there a trick to getting the tiger jaw to hold the sword? I tried for a while and couldn't make it happen, at least not without poster tack or something similar.

    16.75 inches x 3.25 inches handle is 2inches and is collapsable, the sword can be split into 2 smaller swords that are 12 inches long with the handles attached

    Well after taking the plunge with this set my Ferocious arrived today.

    On the whole I like him more in hand than I thought I would. Properly solid figure. I agree with all the comments re. tight joints, tricky transformation and shit instructions though. In all likelihood (if I make it to the end and don't get bored and sell them) these will be in combined mode most of the time - and my goodness that's going to be SOMETHING! The arm mode on Ferocious is awesome!

    Only bummer was my figure had two left calf pieces.

    Bring on Land bull - he looks better than Ferocious IMHO. That said Razor claw needs to be shown now too surely?!

    I agree the legs where a pain for me. Landbulls legs look like it'll be the similar case of switching in and out the leg into the thigh cavity .

    I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. My copy doesn't have enough tension on the jaw hinge to hold the weight of the sword. There's not much handle for the jaw to grasp in the first place. I'm pretty dumbfounded by how you got it to work.

    Got rampage today and he's great! Photos really don't do this material justice.

    I wish they'd fix the tolerances though. Nothing is too tight to work, but a lot is too tight for comfort, especially all the stuff that has to rotate around on the hinges on the back of the leg. Feels like those are going to snap off one day.

    Also, clearer details on torso would be nice. If the gorilla is his own separate dude of similar bulk to the others we could be look at a $720 set, and I don't know if I love them that much.

    No, he doesn't. And don't call him Shirley.

    Seriously. He'll rip your face off.

    I just got this in hand, and really liking it. I thought it would be too detailed for MP but I'm digging it. Well done Cang. I can't really remember, but have there been any QC issues people have encountered out of the box? Not really tolerances and shaving, but more wrong parts?

    I know this thing already dwarfs Feral Rex, but anybody able to do a comparison shot of Ferocious with one of the GCreation limb bots from Shuraking? I'd love a side by side of all 3 modes between Ferocious and Hammer.

    The problem I've seen most people notice is the extremely tight join of the waist piece to the legs in arm mode. A little bit of shaving clears the issue though. Other than that, some issues with paint rubbing off here and there. I've touched mine up with a $20 chrome marker from the local hobby store.

    Odd how so many of the reviews I’ve seen miss a step when converting to arm mode.

    I’m talking about the pegs which fold out of the tiger shins and plug into the robot thighs.

    Here:
