    I honestly don't care who comes next as long we eventually get everyone from Season 1 at the least. With that said, I want to see Inferno next.

    I just want Inferno and Waspinator.

    Of the 2 Waspinator seems more likely.

    That way I have 4 Predacons and 4 Maximals.

    Finally got around to transforming him to bot, back to tiger and back to bot. Not sure when I'll do it again, but not too bad.

    Great figure and don't have any issues, except the hind legs are pretty ghastly but that is what it is. 20201001_214925.jpg 20201001_204527.jpg 20201001_222404.jpg 20201001_222637(1).jpg Worried about scuff marks on the white which I'm sure will happen.

    Also, which figures came with a stand? Tracks, Blackarachnia and BW Megs right?

    What kind of pliers you have. Mines are either too big or too sharp.

    I suppose you could use a piece of cloth or tissue to prevent direct contact between the pliers and the surface paint.

    Tracks, Loudpedal, Dinobot, and Blackarachnia. BW Megs didn't include a stand, just adapters to mount him on one.

    Hmmmm...... that's a tough one! If you can get them to move I think the polish would eventually wear down and make the eyes easier to turn. The trick is to get them moving with damaging the paint. If you wore a surgical glove or something similar it may give you more grip? Hopefully someone else has a better idea.

    You may have just figured out why they are so loose. Maybe Takara chose loose over tight because they are tiny and smooth. Too hard to rotate when they are tighter. I'm now thinking of just leaving them alone on mine.

    Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, the knee caps can be pushed up until they click which will hide the knee joint more.

    Having the same issue. I live in Ohio. The figure was in cinnci on Sunday night! The facility is 3 hours from me. It was supposed to arrive yesterday. Then it was today. It never showed up. I just called the post office and they don't even have it at their office yet. I never have ANY issues with UPS. Its only fed ex and ESPECIALLY the USPS who SUCK entirely and can't ever meet their commitments. We're supposed to trust these incompetent idiots with mail in voting? Ya right. Furious. DHL sucks too. They always do. Stay in europe DHL, you suck. The only one lower than you BELOW the gutter is the USPS.

    Received him yesterday and overall I'm pretty happy, definitely looks good on a shelf.

    One thing that leaves a lot to be desired are the tolerances almost everywhere. I personally had to use a lot of floor polish in most of the major joints. Feels much more solid now.

    Tigatron is in Cincinnati and I live in Massachusetts.

    Perhaps he will arrive early?

    I was able to get the ab crunch to work better by loosening the two top screws on the back of the waist.
