    Not sure...

    I think when they were making it they were probably planning it, then were like, 'nah, it's good enough'

    The robot hero is really nice looking with the face and paint job. I prefer the car mode, even if it's not 'accurate'... It looks better. If they dI'd fix the chest tabbing in, great. I've not seen any fixes for it at all... I've also not looked that hard

    I fixed my head on the O&P.

    Really though, I just left it as is. I was going to take grapple and inferno MP faces and swap them but that would have required some filler modifications to fill it out. Wish they would have fixed the chest tab, that was annoying without polish. I doubt I buy the new one, but Id buy a new head or just a single face. If they include faces that is and if they are interchangable with the O&P.

    Got my notice too. I was hoping to see more of this before the payment request came. Hmm. I’m mostly concerned about the torso. If it hasn’t been altered to hold together better then I have no use for this figure.

    Went ahead and paid the full amount and got the MFT Springer paid for as well. I had ordered from ShowZ since it looks like they were going to get it before everyone else and I have heard they have decent shipping.

    If they utilized the chest lock, I would be very happy and it would be a welcomed fix, but if they didn't, I wouldn't be surprised. Still excited for it and hoping it would arrive before the Holiday Rush. :)

    I am a bug Springer fan and been deciding for a long time which mp one to get glad I held out as this one looks awesome. Always wanted the open and play but things put me off things that have been fixed this time round.

    Also good news people as Show z has changed to Incoming so you know it will be real soon now!

    Ugh... I don't know what to do!

    Yeah, the face is junk. But I'm perfectly content with my Open & Play Springer. I even like the colors, as they pop better on the shelf.
    But I had this guy Pre-Ordered just in case, and now it's due/incoming.
    Is a new face REALLY worth $60? :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

    For me it was the fact I passed up open and play first time around so I now have a second chance, the new face and the paint/colours it now has are just an added bonus.

    I was very very very close to pulling the trigger on mmc or fans toys probably the mmc, x-transbots colours look too off for me.

    What I liked in the first place with open and pkay was it felt like a very good not direct ko of fans toys at a fraction of the cost.

    Tbh dude if it's just for the face then maybe cancel? But you may feel differently once it's in your hand, online pictures sometimes just don't do things justice.

    I got the original o&p on a clearance deal for $19 shipped. I’m debating if it’s worth me double dipping for the better head sculpt. Very tempting.

    The price is right but is this on par with the takara masterpiece? Also, i noticed the shoulder pieces are way too big compared to the animation model concept but did they change size often in the G1 cartoon?

    Probably due to the lack of news on the figure. The only update was that it was shipping. No new vids or pictures, just shipping notifications. You’re the first one to have a new vid.

    Figures out. Already got a number. On top of that, I've had the same figure for three years.

    Looks like the chest/torso pegs in better as well as the improved face, etc. I still have my original Big Spring out even though I mostly moved over to Legends scale figures since I got it. I'm tempted to get this one but keep talking myself out of it. LOL
