    Just got my PE BG! Woohoo! I really like him. I was a little worried based on Jobbys review (I haven't seen many reviews for this guy) but my copy seems to have tight joints. It has tight thigh swivels and there's a ratchet in the waste swivel???

    Was Jobby's waste ratchet broken or were these added in the reissue?

    Anyways, what a beast this guy is. I hope they reissue the Primal Prime version eventually, I can't find that anywhere even on the AM lol.

    Edit: The blue paint on my copies face is very clean too, unlike the copy that Jobby reviewed.

    Jobby's was version 1. You have Version 2 with the tight joints and waist ratchet. Enjoy.

    Did Nemesis Gorira ever have the issue with the waist? Looking to find a copy to buy or trade for my std. PE Gorira.

    I'm pretty sure that they all have the ratcheted waist apart from the original run of the standard color.

    No he dose not. I have a copy of Nemsis Gorira and he has the waist ratchet. Pretty cool recolor IMHO. Pretty good mold too!

    Still have this guy and PE’s Transmetal 2 Megatron currently on my wish list (waiting for Hasbro to reveal their rumored Legacy Leader Class version to see if that changes), but I know there’s KOs available and if so, how’s the quality of them and are they worth it?

    No official Ko's of this ever came out, there is a rumored oversized one coming, but again hasn't come out yet. If it comes out I may get the oversized version as it would size better with the Jiang Xing beast megatron

    Yeah some were advertised but never happened, the oversized is up for preorder at show Z, but again I'll wait till I see a actual proto next to other figures or something more concrete.

    Personally I like the size of the “official” releases, but again, aftermarket prices…:cry 

    This is one of those times I wish I had a job right now

    Just a heads up but I have a Dark Gorira Nemesis Primal and a 2-pack of the Beast Gorira Jr that turn into guns and axes and he has two big ass swords. I'm selling him with the 2-Pack. Nemesis is mint inside the box but box has some wear on it. the 2-Pack comes loose. Hoping to get $250 for them, which I think is pretty fair

    however I’m scared to transform it lol, I put it in gorilla mode it was fine, then I saw this hinge and was like WOAH THERE. I hope this hinge is durable

    Be careful with PE plastic. My PE Cryotek has a similar hinge, and it definitely cracked after only a few transformations. It's just as fragile as it feels.
