    So i've had all 3 on PO w/ S.Z since Oct & I still haven't had a single one ship out yet. Cripes, what's it take to get a killer-death-animal around here!

    That's crazy, I pre ordered the first two back in late December and got Landbull about 2 weeks ago. Did you pay the full amount back then for them for them? I don't understand why they haven't sent the two they have in stock out to you :S

    nah just the initial PO amount. Think i ordered these just after stock depleted last fall & I've not even received a single notification except on firmament that i paid off & am now waiting to re-stock. It sure is dragging on when other folk are actually getting their shipments in.

    Ah right, I paid off the full amount soon after I did the initial PO and they were pretty much the first things I ordered from them, so I've never had a request for payment. Shame they've overlooked it, have you tried contacting them directly or leaving them message in the show z thread? Hopefully it'll get sorted out either way

    Hi. The video with the lack of combined mode elbow ratchets was talking about Firmament, not Ferocious. Could you guys or anyone else please confirm Firmament's combiner elbow has ratchets?

    Yeah we know. We were both expressing surprise that bobby's appeared to lack the elbow ratchet when ferocious had it. Ben's copy of firmy had the ratchet. Bobby's didn't. I think that's all we know for now.

    I can't imagine they'd have deliberately removed the ratchet. That joint is very clearly not tensioned to work without it. Whether BSF's is a one-off or part of a wider production error we probably won't be able to say conclusively until he hits the US etailers.

    Mine is fine too, looks like a dodgy qc issue because from my experience at least most of the joints are insanely tight on the two figures I have. The joints that attach the wings on divebomb to the body are crazy for example. Definitely one that slipped through the net. Hopefully its just a blip

    I have seen a lot of post on Weibo of people damaging their Firmaments while trying to pry out the combiner port.

    He looks amazing indeed. Posing is a bit tricky because in bot mode, his wings are quite heavy. So mine is leaning a bit forward now until I find some better poses. I do love the double jointed elbows though, he holds his sword now casually resting on his shoulder.

    Didn't really want the symbol on the wings, so had to settle for this.

    Works for both modes at least and also isn't somewhere i'm going to manhandle it.

    Need to do the 2nd coat for the bird eyes still too.

    Starting earlier this week, I can't even get their website to load on my phone's browser. A desktop at home, just fine. But my phone specifically... nope. And I'm waiting on a Kingdom beast Megs from them too.

    These figures look great and of solid quality, but I fear too stylized for me. Predaking has always been my favorite combiner. Based on the aesthetics of the individuals I'm definitely out. I'm not completely opposed to dropping 5-600$ on a combiner, but for me to part with that kind of jack it really has to be exactly what I'm looking for.

    I am not a Gen 1 guy, I am not a everything has to look like the orginal guy, but am I the only one that hates the head on Firmament? The bird-head thing just doesn’t look right or good to me.

    I'm sure you aren't the only one. I for one, rather like it.
    It's cool they gave us the option to have it down, if we prefer.
    I, for one, am going to see if the bird head will sit a bit lower on the robot head, hopefully looking a little more natural, and maybe even a bit more menacing!

    Nah, I really don't like it either, the beak is way too long and it really limits articulation when its on, having the lower beak hanging off the back of the bot head look dumb if you have the bird head off too.
    Im not a massive fan of the face sculpt either, its very generic bot face to me.
