    Yes, it's all a bit... simple. Step One: Fold in half. Done.

    The original Cheetor has more involved in it's leg transformation.

    Spin 180 at the knee and fold out a foot isn’t much more involved than folding the leg in half

    I love that mold. Still one of my favorites. Got the Fox Kids first as I recall, and then bought the original on ebay. Both color schemes are great.

    TBF, if you remade the toy today with those, you’d lose the chrome, most of the paint, the plastic quality, and the design quality of the toy.

    I’ll take no ankle tilts and weird hands over those

    At least then you wouldn't have to worry about chrome flaking off.

    Got an email this morning that Kingdom Rattrap shipped from Amazon, but only that figure from Wave 1. Not sure why Rattrap is first up at bat, but why not. I'll take 'em.

    im part of the group thats not fully satisfied with cheetor
    i think they intentionally held back on him, because if kingdom succeeds, they're gonna need an excuse to make another (and hopefully better) cheetor

    According to listings we have another version of Cheetor coming in Netflix Wave 3. I’ll probably wait and see what he looks like before committing to the kingdom version.

    That seems prudent at this point, what with the likes of Netflix Megatron etc.

    Better paint on Netflix Cheetor seems like a simple way to encourage people to double dip.

    So long as he doesn't have battle damage bruises and burn marks.

    If they slap that gorgeous metallic blue on Netflix cheetor I'll be ecstatic. I'm a simp for Beast Wars so I would be getting both anyway but I know which one would be on display and which one would become the dedicated play figure.

    I pre-ordered these with the super fast quickness after PO's went live. Not sure if that put me at the front of the line as that rarely happens, but I'll take it. Others should likely get their emails soon as well if they POed Trappy.
