OK.. My seller just mailed that it will be expected in September.. Guess ShowZ got the first batch of produced.. And the rest will come after. Hopefully the batch mine comes from will have the issues you guys have solved.
US shipping, at least for me, has been terrible lately. I've so far had four packages lost/delayed by the post office so far this month. Literally everything I've ordered. One finally arrived yesterday after being lost for two weeks. Another is due today after being lost for a week. The other two are still "arriving late, but still in transit," which is post office talk for "We have no clue where your package is right now." Yup, same here. Only tracking number I have is an extremely long one that only seems to work through USPS tracking. Just shows label created on 08/11, but doesn't mean post office has actually received the parcel. When people say, "It must be coming on the slow boat from China," I didn't realize that was actually a thing anymore. LOL.
Where is the unlike button. Postal services are a mess right now, so we can't blame them too much though. In other news, the PDF for all the fixes is now 14 pages. And I don't have the figure yet! But so many of you shared pictures and info that I can already work on it quite a lot. I will do my best to release it as soon as possible!
If you're thinking it's only because of Covid-19, that's only half of the equation. There are other (i.e. political, which I won't post here) reasons that the USPS is going full meltdown.
I got mine this week, and have begun to transform it. The right arm transforms fine, but the left upper arm doesn't want to slide the 1/4 inch or so into the shoulder like it's supposed to. I tried searching this thread for a fix, but search didn't turn up anything useful. Does anyone have a link to a tip or a fix for this? Also, mine did not come with the Autobot faction plate for the arm, unless anyone knows some place it might be hiding.
Well mine didn’t last long, waist connector snapped. Yes I did all the loosen screw, shaving etc to minimise the stress. It Should’ve been die casted considering how delicate/easy it was to snapped after a few clicks. Asked Showz to see if it’s possible to get a replacement piece doubt it, with the whole KO thing so I’m gonna try and 3d print a replacement for comedic purpose here’s top half MS with MP44 legs And TE head cause mine was missing the mp44 main head. Legs too skinny for MS shame I like the mp44 legs at least.
I'm sorry to hear about the problems some have had. With the whole MP-44 price and knee issues I was hoping the KO would be better. But I'm happy for those who got good ones too.
Yikes. To be honest the knee thing was never a concern of mine but all of these breaking waists are pretty scary, especially when it happens even after preventative maintenance. I mean, this is one of the hazards I expect from KOs but it still sucks.
Got mine in today, And immediately tore his head apart. Gonna do some nub trimming, sanding, and then paint eyes yellow. Any other maintenance I should do while I'm doctoring this?
Yeouch! So sorry to see that happen to yours. Mine is still holding up fine without needing any fixes but there is always that lingering thought, eh? A bit of a request but would it be possible to see the top half of TE-01 with the bottom of MP-44? Vice versa as well if it can be done. Curious to see how well the two can mix and match even if it's not actually feasible for a legit figure.
Edit: Eyes primed, paint mixed. Soap applied to wrists. As an aside, my ab-crunch came properly engaged, but I can't seem to disengage it. Funky!
A little dish soap works wonders in lieu of something like shock oil. In this case, works great to fix the squeaky wrists and loosen them up. In the past I've used the same thing on my KO BW Megs to keep his shoulders from exploding themselves.
