    That seemed to take a long time.  Maybe they were waiting to get the red right.

    Sheesh. Transformers fans can’t ever be happy with what we have. We even complain about thigh gaps.

    Is this 3-d printed or actual molded plastic?

    I have the Grapple kit, it works well, so this should make Inferno complete. Yay!

    The red seems to match toy plastic very well.

    they complain about them being hallow and spend $20 to turn their voyager into the price of a leader and then complain about leaders being the size of voyagers but have very minimal visible hallowness. Yeah the fandom is a place filled with exceptional individuals

    I would say high quality 3D printing. I have some of their kits. Definitively not like prints those full of lines.

    Thanks for the info! Are they painted or printed in the actual plastic color?

    Hilarious that the third and seventh comment are people complaining about fellow fans while nobody offered any critique on any figure or on the kit.

    Most parts are painted. Good finishing by the way. Not sure how the parts are on this kit or Grapples that come in sprues. I think on this case, they should be colored. Haven't got Grapple's kit.

    Yeah. Pulse shipped their orders out this past week, and it’s been popping up in Walmart in the U.S. I found mine there on Wednesday.

    Anyways, not trashing anyone who likes these, but I never understood the point of these kits. They don’t really do anything for the figure that you can see if you’re displaying it. And with some, like Sunstreaker, you have to constantly remove them if you like transforming your figures.

    115 kits have notorious fitting issues. I'm never buying another one after their terrible Doubledealer kit (did not work out the box) and Twin Twist blasters (also did not work out the box). Buyer beware.

    The third comment (Starsabereds comment) was a joke though, I found it pretty funny.

    Sorry but all kits can have fitting issues. A good file/sandpaper might be needed or a dab of super glue. It is no different than the figure you get might have floppy joints out of the box. Some maintenance might be needed.

    Still not an excuse for failing basic QC checks. It is different than getting a figure too.

    Nice, really rounds out a great mold. I've been real happy with grapple, can't wait to get inferno. Are these kits available outside weibo?

    also the transformer fandom: they get really stingy when you bring up their hypocrisy
