aww snap..yeah..had trouble with that piece too..but knowing its a 3rd party product..always use extra care..

 

Put on some Reprolabels battle damage:







Some of the outlines catch the light, but overall it's a good look IMO. I was afraid the one on the battle mask would look like a mustache.

 

aww damn..those are nice..
them 1/25 scale soldiers are in..
Now i can make Snake Eyes and the other Joes

 

Shipped from showz almost 20 days ago. The tracking number is still showing up as “not found” but I’m going to just keep waiting. The large package method is going to take a while anyway.

 

Hi, anyone selling a BMB LS-03F prime in the US??

 

TransFans

 

is this a

k.o of a k.o??

 

Nope, they are just rebranding. This is the 4th name they’ve ran to in order to escape their reputation for poor QC. Unfortunately for them, they actually have to have good QC under one of the brands in order to escape it.

 

This figure has hit the 30 day mark on the showz slow boat! The wait is killing me. It’s about 2 hours away in transit but knowing how the shipping is it could get 2 minutes from my house, then go 3 hours away, to then 30 minutes away, to out for delivery.

 

Hmm, so I have two LS-03 and... one is painted and the other isn't... also one seems to have the ls-03f paint job darker "chrome" and darker blue. Anyone else?

 

This guy is just beastly.

 

Is the QC on later runs worse? The original runs on these particular toys were solid (at least I've had no issues with mine and no memory of widespread QC issues).

 

Nice pose dude

 

Yeah... I just pre-ordered the Black Mamba LS-O3 from ShowZ, which apparently has that name change (Knight of Light). I'm hoping that the quality is fine, because the WeiJiang one is sold out and currently impossible to find at a decent price. I'm probably not going to try to transform the Black Mamba one, but still, I don't want to find out that the QC is not as good as previous releases.

 

I have both the Straight upscale of the MPM (with improvements) and the revision to DOTM. I also have the WeiJiang (the basically perfect one). I honestly think I like the Black mamba 07/ROTF OSKO (with improvements) slightly better than the WeiJiang. The paint is beautiful and I like the abs better than Wei Jiang (that toy's one mis step). Biggest gript is that he's even bigger than Wei Jiang. The DOTM abs on the other hand are a mixed bag and far from perfect (still very solid though).

I think you'll be happy.

 

TE's been fine mostly

 

Got an LS03 recently from AliExpress in no time. I'd say order LS03F from there if needed.

Also, lot of comments on scale but I think LS03 is the most accurate, esp if you use LS09 at your Ironhide.



EDIT: One more comparison using LS03 as a scale reference.

 

Look what arrived! Im incredibly impressed with it! I only wish the ab section was a little stronger, just folding it in caused one of them to break out of it’s housing. Luckily, enough is left where I can slip it back on and it holds perfectly fine in robot mode (I’ll just pop it off if I plan on transforming it again.)

 

Pardon the double post but I’m so blown away by the figure.

 

Alright I’m not transforming this anymore. I love it and the transformation is very satisfying but it’s too unpredictable. One of the silver rectangles on his back just fell apart at the joint when moving it. Posing and everything is fine, but small parts seem to be fragile.

still has a glorious shelf presence and quite a nice looking piece.
