I snagged this guy last night and after a few transformations back-and-forth I must say that he’s solid in both forms and I love it. I have the same complaints as most (derpy arms, no reason for the gold orbs in dino mode), but I was able to position the dino legs just right so that the thighs stay firmly closed, so that’s not an issue for me. I also spent about an hour painting up the legs, feet and claws with gold and it dramatically improved the look of the figure in both modes. I need to go back for some touch-ups, but overall, with the additional paint apps, this guy is a rockstar.
Anyone else found that in bot mode he seems to have a very loose connection at the hip? His upper half looks a little like he’s on a bobble head thing.
Mine is a little wobbly, but my bigger concern is the loose ankles. Speaking of his ankles, how are you supposed to get them past the base of the tail connector with his knees and shins pegged in? I feel like I'm having to flex then past that point, and it doesn't seem like that would be the intended way. The inly thing I could imagine is that a looser thigh swivel could allow you to rotate the legs into position along the sides of the body.
I had to use a syringe to apply the shock oil, I asked the guy at the walgreens for their smallest one, it was 1$, note that to fill the needle I had to disassemble it, as the needle was so small it wasn’t sucking up the shock oil when I pulled the plunger, so I took the needle tip off, filled it up, and but the needle back on, it worked very well
on pics alone I thought dino mode wasn't all that, but in hand... it feels great! and robot mode is amazing although he could definitely use thigh articulation! (i'm confused if he actually has and I haven't found it from the comment at the top of this page?) it makes me wonder how amazing he could have been if he'd been a Leader and come with a bunch of accessories absolutely solid - please remake all the Beast Wars characters if this is any indication
Is the hole that ends up on his back (where the tail weapon plugs in) compatible with figure/flight stands?
