    I too am interested to know how the tension is in the new springs. Do the joints still feel sturdy without feeling like a gamble every time you try to move them?

    Also, where did you order your springs from? Thanks for posting your findings!

    The joints are still sturdy. Compressor's lower joints
    can still hold Split and Giant Axe in combined mode, even if I wobble them around. The ratchets also feel more solid, like they won't break or anything. I've transformed him about 7 times now since yesterday and there's no signs of breakage.

    As for the springs, I ordered them from a local manufacturer here in Metro Manila. I gave them the original dimension then asked them to make me copies with smaller wire diameters(they gave me 1.6mm and 1.4mm, the ones below 1.0 aren't really useful. You can also try to order springs for the hips if you don't want to do the heating part.

    This is one of the best figures from these so far imo. Much better than Split.

    Eventhough this is true, and often times funny. I don't want this to be "it's funny cuz it's true"...I don't want it to be.
    That Split gave me such a headache playing with just his back legs/ankles.

    Hello, Everyone. I am going to look deeper into what can be done to fix a broken hip socket peg. I have a few ideas to upgrade with a steel core. But...mine are still intact. I would prefer not to experiment on good parts. In fact, I disassembled the unit before I even transformed it out of fear.

    If there anyone here willing to send me their broken joints (all pieces - ratchet gear and socket), I would like to give it a go.

    Please reach out to me and let’s see what we can do. No charge.

    Is Sweeping due out any time soon? I'm really eager to see how that one turns out.

    Do not expect Sweeping Rampage so soon.

    There is some long dead Silence around this Project here also. I knew that they would delay the next Figures. But there is almost no life sign of Devil Saviour.

    The next Figures should be the 2 Pack of Hightower and Paranoida. But they promised the Release I think 2 Month ago?

    No one really knows when they will
    Release the next Figures.

    Yes and it's strange because we saw a review 2 months ago concerning this 2 pack:

    I assumed only art work / packaging was missing.

    Here's hoping the delays are due to DS fixing joints that are like butter, and not in the good way "like butta"...but in the joints shearing off like butter for the unlucky ones :D

    I feel like rampage/skipjack will be the most complex considering his design

    Man, things have been too quiet for far too long guys. To the point where I'm starting to wonder if something's gone awry with Bombusbee as a business. We were sailing well late last year with the release of Giant Axe then Compresor shortly thereafter. Then photos and videos of finished samples of the 2 bots that form DS-07. Then dead silence....... Is anyone else getting worried about this too??

    Compressor was released in January/March (depending on shipping before/after CNY), and we've seen finished samples of the next set. Not really sure where this worry is coming from.

    Yes as I said. The worry is because:
    Overall Devil Saviour ALWAYS Released the next Figure shortly after the Product Samples were seen at SwiftTransform Youtube Video.

    But this time: SwiftTransform showed the 2 Pack Month ago. I think in...March?
    Since then....Nothing. No Package Samples, No Release Date from ShowZStore....Dead Silence
