    Yes, he was awful. Visually, he pretty much nailed the look from certain angles, but physically he was just an awful figure and stuff fell off of him and his complexity made you want to cry.

    Transforming him felt like you were committing a sin, because you knew it was wrong to do it.

    People keep saying this is a new mold, but it isn't. This is pretty much a straight up KO of UT Challenger. There are some minor cosmetic changes like the larger horns on the cab of the truck mode but the engineering looks to be almost 100% the same as Challenger.

    Hmm, I think he does look better than AA round 2. What's he supposed to cost?

    Either way I know some would consider it a sin but I am guessing Three Zero is going to make him eventually in the DLX line and that's what I want. Robot perfection, or close to it.

    There's no pricetag on him yet.
    That's HIGHLY doubtful as well!!

    I remember hearing the QC issues but I never dove into the thread. That's rough. I bought their Firage and didn't like it's plastic quality. That's the only actual experience I had with Alien Attack. Was never interested in their other offerings and thought the UT Challenger looked better.

    My first El Sid had an arm that wouldn't securely peg into the torso. I got it replaced, and the second was so tight I never unpegged it. There were other, smaller issues. It's just too bad because I liked his paint job and he would have been fun if he was built well.

    Actually, looking closer, the engineering in some parts LOOKS similar, like the legs, but the arms, back and chest are completely different. And even looking at the legs, while the back of the legs looks similar, that's about it as far as it goes.

    This is 100% a new mold. The truck mode on Challenger is much taller looking and this one looks more movie accurate. There's numerous differences on these figures.

    It's Movie Masterpiece scale. Way too large for CHUG scale.

    Some idiot on ShowZ's site said the same thing, that it was a KO, and was even dumb enough to say that the figure in the pics was Challenger. I seriously don't know WTF is wrong with people!!!

    Very nice.
    It seems obvious to me, but I guess we need a side by side between this and Challenger.

    Yeah actually there are many guys in Asia who are very much still wanting a perfect Knight Prime. Especially in China. That's why these companies are still going on.
    You gotta hear out what these Chinese collectors are saying in their reviews. Most prominent Chinese TF netizens still feel the Toyworld TLK Prime's only good as a statute and not good for transformation, the UT TLK Prime is generally the better one if the collector wants to play, - most agree the UT TLK prime has the best transformation, but even then the QC is not up to scratch.

    It's all good news anyway, all these demands and all these competitions only drives up quality, features and pursuit of excellence in providing show accurate bot-modes and alt-modes, as much as possible yet at till manageable prices... At the right they are going, the non-KOs like HasTak can't catch up without losing competitiveness when it comes to the final price tag in comparison to these production houses in China.

    That ugly huge gap at the Neck is a Part
    of the Figure, not a Mistake.

    ShowZ says Release is 3rd Quarter
    2022.

    If they want my Money (and that of many more collectors), they should Fix that huge Gap.

    The Figure looks very good, but that huge Gap is killing the entire sculpt.

    This is 100% bs btw, for anyone reading. This is a new mold. It shares some very slight similarities with Challenger but that's more just because they're both based on the same design more than anything else
