    What is Unicron sitting on? How do you find a chair for a planet?

    Just any painted surface needs to be carefully handled. Almost the entire Ion Blaster is painted. Hands are painted.

    Avoid use of 3p accessories with oversized pegs. It's not worth breaking OP's thumb over.

    If his butt flap comes off, that's ok. It is technically removable if the orientation is correct.

    Technically wrong thread, but...

    Only if you can still find him at discount. $60 isn't worth it. There's a reason why all the brick & mortar Walmarts discounted him to $35 almost right away. However, I'm thinking at this point you may not find him at all due to the discount, and I highly doubt b&m stores will restock.

    The black play-doh is absolute garbage. Worse than real play-doh and stains your hands.

    So I'm kind of on the fence about getting the Netflix Ultra Magnus. I have the combiner Wars version, and I like the fact that he's one piece and not just Optimus wearing armor, but his hands never seem to hold his weapons well.

    Still contact Amazon. I stand by my original post there is no reason for your purchased goods to be in such a state. Somebody definitely muellered that box hoping to damage the contents. Clearly they succeeded. Don’t let it go Maglite.

    Yeah, I should have just listened to you guys telling me to return it straight away. It's all good, though. I requested a return last night - looks like they accepted it, so I'll ship it back tomorrow. Now I just have to wait until they get more in stock in August.

    Anyone know how to take apart ER Optimus' head? No screw so I'm assuming I'll have to snap whatever peg is glued together but I don't want to damage the head any more than that


    Bigger planet


    I'm not attached to the character at all and initial images made him look a little awkward but his colors look so nice in hand that I'll have to pick him up if he shows up on a shelf

    Thank God!!!! Yeah I know it was definitely a hard thing to do sending DD back after having it in hand. But no one deserves that treatment! Amazon should really send you a free replacement! But proud of you for standing up for yourself! August will be here before you know it! :)

    I need to take his head apart, separate front half from back half, not just pop it off the body. Also would hot water be an issue considering the entire back half of the head is painted?

    Are you just switching it with the Siege head? If so it's just a pop and swap.
