    Full scramble would have been very difficult with the all-build-in gimmick, and probably wouldn't have allowed the limbs to be as model accurate in robot mode. I'm willing to give it a pass in the MP scale, but I definitely prefer full scramble in classics scale combiners

    Anyone else find the new shoulder ratchet joint for combined mode is strong enough for forward/backward movement but not outward?

    my philisophy is pretty much
    MP = toon accuracy updated to modern standards
    CHUG/classics = playability

    So the price of Incurus has gone up $30 in the past two weeks on TFSource. Every site I usually use that won't take a month to ship to me is out of stock or on preorder so I went ahead and bought him tonight before it got up over $200. I haven't been buying stuff from TFSource for very long so is this sort of price flux normal?

    Maybe a COVID thing? But this year TFS has definitely been marking up their restocks.

    Can speak for the Vortex side. It ain't good, tolerance-wise. I'm definitely emailing sooner or later.

    I am not sure if you are referring to me.
    I had (and still have) an issue with the Probus lower leg being able to bend further forwards than perfectly straight. Not sure if this is intended, or if I did something wrong.
    The leg itself is attached perfectly fine and hold, though.

    Going full scramble would also wreak havok on the stability. The legs are thick solid chunks built to support the weight, and the arms are lighter to lessen the stress on the shoulders. Can you imagine what would happen if you reversed them?

    Honestly, Swindle's head actually looks pretty good on Brawl. :lol

    It does right....it’s slightly under size for Brawl’s body. But then again Swindle is smaller :)  The face is great...captures the character so well.

    And that’s a wrap! I can only say what others have said but I will say this. With Bruticus being my favorite combiner and team, this thing is special. This feels like what I wanted as a kid. This is what I saw in my head seeing the cartoon growing up. Well done MMC.
    03863390-AC15-4EAD-AE9F-00B30F662EE9.jpeg Well. Done.
    EDIT: And this is how they will be displayed though!

    B.O.T.
    would have turned out very differently if the Decepticons didn't still want Brawl around.

    So I had a go at the screw tightening in the ratchet to help with the arm, not really made a difference I can tell of at all, I split the plastic at the pin as it's near impossible not to, so fuck to that. Someone on here said something bout being able to open the arm without removing the pin, that's a huge NOPE, remove the pin, just do it. Hope probus shows up soon, really need a new figure to cheer up. IMG_20200909_031728.jpg IMG_20200909_031721.jpg IMG_20200909_031703.jpg Excuse the dark pics on the volatus side, the flash wouldn't light it up right but as you can sort of see the plastic split while removing the pin on that side, managed it okay on the other side though.

    What email are you guys using to contact MMC about requesting an additional joint?
    Also, anyone who has requested one actually received one yet?
