The final Devastator looks good. Could've used some more extras but perfectly content with him.

Waiting for Skipjack to arrive in the mail this week.

 

God the render they kept on using has terrible proportions. It just looked like a weird photoshop between the finished ones and the prototype

 

to what i presume will be no one's surprise according to the Takaratomy Instructions you do store the drum on Overload's back with the empty side facing out, https://tf.takaratomy.co.jp/wpadmin/wp-content/themes/tf/img/products/tf_ss/item_tf_ss-54_manual.pdf

Also apparently the legs of overload don't clip in in combined mode...disappointing

 

The storage of the drum on Overload's back is new to me. At least they added in the missing step of connecting Mixmaster's back wheels to Scavenger's round bar.

 

My Overload was supposed to come Tuesday but Amazon screwed up my order. New date is next week. Kinda annoyed but I guess I should be happy they gave me a $10 credit

 

The actual details of prototype or mock up or whatever is irrelevant. The point I'm making is that successive iterations from start to final production will inevitably see changes made to the figure due to many different factors. Happens in any field where you design anything and then have to produce it at the end. Ask game developers how many iterations they have to go through before shipping a final product!

Not just you. I said it before that I actually prefer Devy as a hulking monstrous humanoid than what we got in ROTF. Been on a Warhammer lore kick as of late and it's got a nice chaos mutant vibe going for him.

 

Hey atleast youre getting something, i assume the main reason that they arent sending my overloads this week is because of the 2 incoming hurricanes....

 

Ordered my Overload on March 26th, just got my update that the delivery date has changed

 

Lol, this just made me realize that my rampage is in leg mode backwards

 

the blade is facing forward?

 

Yeah, the scoop/shovel/front thingy

 

Finally found Overload!

 

He was hiding in the bushes all along!

 

Anybody else finding that the connection between Rampage and Overload is way, way too tight? I can't seem to get it on all the way.

 

It'll get better. Initially, I could do about 80-90% of the connection. After a few dozen more attempts, I can get 100% of the connection (but still relatively tight). Just have to keep trying to wear down / stretch the plastic a bit.

Others are reporting this as well.

 

I had to file the connection down a bit just to even get it halfway down. After two combinations it’s fine now.

 

This may be difficult to describe, but which surfaces of the connection did you address? I can't tell where the tightness is worst.

 

I had that issue, but with Long Haul and Overload.

 

YALL

 

On first impressions it seemed like it was on Rampages connection so I sanded the the side of the clip that on both sides (in green) and sanded underneath it (in blue) on both sides. Tried the connection after each little sanding until it was tight but not breaking your hand trying to remove it tight. Hope that helps a little! It’s a weird one to explain.
