Hi guys, I have an Armageddon cartoon head (the one in the small black box) that I don't use, is someone interested? But I can ship only in Europe, actually the italian postal service is a bunch of burocracy and it's impossible ship outside Europe a product without CE logo

 

I think not being able to slide the legs/hips is the big issue. His weight distribution is making it to where if I have the arms out in front of the body he becomes too forward heavy and topples forward. To get the weight to balance I have to keep the arms down at the sides. If I could get the legs to slide I could then shift the center of gravity.

 

I'm sad that they've still not reissued Onslaught (and Silverbolt) with the fixes, especially since the prices are just going up, up, up. Zeta seems to only care about the metallic releases now, and I prefer the non-metallic versions.

Didn't realise Brawl's treads were changed though - I wouldn't mind getting replacements for the originals because the original treads are truly awful.
Doubt it's worth trying though because my biggest complaint about Zeta is their awful customer service (or lack thereof). I'm still waiting on parts for my Aerialbots, two of which arrived with issues, and whilst that's technically ShowZ at fault, to have the parts seemingly go missing three bloody times is incredibly frustrating.

 

What about slightly twisting his legs outwards. What I mean is, instead of having the toes point forwarded, have them point a little outward (but by rotating the whole leg, not the toe).

I should take a video, I just put him back on the self and can literally slap him and watch him rock back and forth.

I know you said too forward heavy, but I have my hip sliders push back, increasing the forward weight already.

 

Hell, I wanted the toy colors, but prefer boxed sets. Also, the reviews said the Armageddon version had multiple QC issues I didn't feel like fixing. I really want to see what the Metallic set looks like with the original toy colored torso, head, and green brawl. I heard someone did that but hey never posted pics.

 

I put the Armageddon Blitzkreig together with the Bruticon limbs and it looks amazing to me. This is what I wanted Bruticus to look like when I was a kid, had the original version. Swapped the knee joint spring over as well.

Also, I saw no issues with the Blitzkreig that I got.

 

I’ll do it for you in the morning. Not sure what parts caused the problems but I know the Armageddon swindle is dogshit and won’t stay locked on to the thigh. Armageddon just feels junkier than the metallic Bruticon set.

 

Not a fan of the blue pants but that looks good with the metallic limbs.

 

the Bruticon metallic version sold out at Showz. Does anyone know will Zeta reissue it again?

 

I don't know if there will be another reissue but some other retailers still have it...

BBTS has preorders still available for the metallic version: ZA-07 Bruticon (Metallic Ver.)
TFSource has it in stock: https://tfsource.com/zeta-toys/za-07-bruticon-metallic-edition-set-of-5-figures/
Robotoybase also has it in stock: https://robotoybase.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=153_249&product_id=5723

 

Got the metallic version, and it's gorgeous. But Brawls front feet are impossible to move. Had to unscrew the foot to get enough leverage, and the combiner peg was no picnic either.

 

Noice!

 

Home made? That is a great chest piece.

Thanks! I'll check this out. I like your modified version though  

 

Looks awesome. May I ask how you got Vortex to clean up so nicely? I mentioned a page back about wishing his rotor blades would fold up so it wasn't so they weren't so crazy big and awkward. And now I see just the items on your figure! All of Vortex looks a bit different and much more tidy.
