    Not me. The gun-tab on mine is definitely bigger than the slot on the hand. There's no way to get it fit without shaving the tab down.

    I am only buying XTB for combined and after seeing the reviews and comments I don’t have any urge to open fuzz

    I did, but... I shaved down the peg to make it fit.

    Do it
    I’ve transformed him twice now. There’s a knack to it and he’s definitely overly engineered . The only part I struggle with is the faux windshield every time. I’ve seen the videos but it’s still a struggle to line up

    like others have said this guy is for my combined mode though. I still like him though

    Decent figure, good representation of the character, however, the shoulders are trash and the arms are pretty ugly.

    Anyway, he looks good on a post '86 movie/misc shelf.

    A rotary tool, like a dremel.

    The gun is painted white plastic, so after it was shaved down I used a black permanent marker to hide the white.

    Does anyone else have the wheels on the wrong side?
    Notice how the hub cap pattern goes in different directions from the front and rear wheels.

    This thread is the greatest! Once a week someone pops in and says they got Streetwise and they don't hate it but they don't like it either.
