I got my copy of “Petey” Gabriel and he is large, heavy, and awesome! (cat used for scale  Not the strongest ratchets but he will keep his arms up. No blemishes to speak of and the box and foam were completely intact.

 

I demand another cat be used for scale of the cat in the picture! Scale unclear!  

 

Quick question: Just opened up Gabriel this morning for Christmas and I'm utterly impressed by this figure!

I have 2 small pieces that fall off quite easily on each of his elbows that seem like screw hole covers. Is it normal for them to fall off so easily? Should I glue them on or just set them aside?

Also, for the Jream emblem piece, do I need to super glue it on, or am I supposed to replace the piece somehow? Thanks!

My shoulder ratchets seem fine, though his hips seem a bit loose unfortunately...

 

I'd advise against gluing the screw hole covers. Blu Tack would be a better alternative just in case you need to open the arm up for any reason.

The Jream emblem you can superglue or use blu tack in case you don't want it permanently fixed to his chest. Your choice.

The hips aren't very complicated to deal with. The only thing you need extra caution with is the screws because they've been known to break, at least in the past. When i opened mine up to fix his hips i had no screw breakage. Just be gentle to be safe. No hard cranking on them and you'd be fine. Also, don't mix up the screws because they are slightly different sizes.

If you ever feel the need to tighten the hips this guide should help you. If you can't read spanish you'll need to translate the page.

 

Not really to scale but my kid wanted me to take this pic

 

My jream piece was a little sticky on the back right out of the package and hasn't fallen off.
If not I'd recommend a bit of double sided scotch tape to hold it on.

 

Now there's an interesting picture.

If I was in the market for a MP Omega Supreme, DX9 Gabriel would be my choice.

And if we ever get a get a cat (an ongoing discussion between me and my GF), I would want one of those.

 

Funny I'm seeing this picture, I literally have that same Voltron on display next to my Gabriel.

 

That’s too funny. I wonder how they would scale together and how off the two toys are lol

 

From the data I found online Voltron should be more than three times taller than Omega (60m versus 18). Japanese super robots are massive.

 

Holy fuck, that’s big

 

Guys I need help I accidentally popped the top of my Gabriel’s rocket off revealing the electronics inside and can’t get it to go back in all the way.

 

Sounds like he blew his load, not usually a reversible thing! Lol. I took mine off too inspect and found that a wire got jammed down between the surfaces and flattened. No damage, everything works, but to put it back together I had to tuck the excess wire in the opening off to the side and fit the battery holder in between the two tabs that stick out from either side. From there the top of the rocket should fit right over the L.E.D and slide down flush over the tabs that align it. It should slide down with ease so if it doesn't just be careful to check the alignment of everything.

 

That's the official cartoon size but IDW made OS freaking huge.

 

Yeah I eventually figured it out and also man I gotta phrase things better.

 

ok my TOON addicted vultures lol  ....

i decided it was easier to give in and make a run of these vs. cleaning out my inbox every 2 days! lol

heading to paint this week... should be ready to go out by monday.

 

How much do you charge for one of those painted?

 

same as the originals versions. all the ordering info is in the sales link in my signature.

 

Bugger... I only just grabbed the regular one, despite my toon leanings. And I used the non-blu-tack option for sticking it. Do I risk damaging the figure? Hmmmm....
