    The feet on mine are perfect, have you pegged the ankles together properly?

    Are the ankle joints of this product strong?

    I have previously purchased Black Mamba KO products.

    The product I bought had an ankle that was too tight, and the ankle of the product was broken.

    Straight out of the box, the legs are collapsed down and the ankles aren't pegged together yet. Push the ankles up into the calves and you should feel a click and they won't be loose anymore.

    Click his feet in to his ankles. Keep the thighs one click forward and then adjust the legs so it’s flat to the floor. That’s the most stable. You also want to take his chest and push it back so his wings go toward his back more so the weight balances it better

    Got mine the other day. Solid. One of the panels that locks the back into place on the BMB versions also tabs in the wings in jet mode. One of that slot needed to be shaved down to fit the tab on the wings. My figure’s ankles lock in with alot of force, but the lower tab below the ankles in the feet doesn’t tab in, there’s a big gap around the tab. The lower leg swivel and elbow joints do feel dangerously tight, so there’s that.

    Only complaints are the ratchet joints in the arm. There was a lot of plastic that was sheared off when using it but now that it’s got clearance, they’re fine. Ultimately, I’d say I think I prefer the MPM scale, as it’s designed with that size in mind. However, if you care about scale, there’s really no reason not to get this guy. Plus, the buzzsaw doesn’t have that crappy translucent yellow for the blade.

    Got this Friday. I don’t own the original mpm-10 but this sculpt is beautiful. There are definitely some tolerance issues. He’s hard to stand( weak ankles) and tbh it should be mandatory all flying transformers come with a flight stand! Overall it feels good, not osko sentinel prime good but solid nonetheless.

    Got this on order. Went back and forth on it, but eventually decided it was what I wanted.

    I'm also going to go against the grain and say I absolutely preferred the non-tatted version. But I'm sure that one will come about at some point.

    I agree too, personally. The tattoos are a nice design choice but it goes against what transformers are for, robots in disguise, and it has no good explanation in-story. I get Megatron's two cybertronian jet modes since it shows that he doesn't even care to hide that he's an alien, but slapping a cybertronian graffiti tattoo on a human vehicle just screams that he doesn't know what he's going for.

    Screamer, if you want to hide don't put a message on you saying "hey you should shoot at me", if you don't want to hide don't pick a human aircraft that mass shifts and makes scale-nerds fight in the forums. Also, if you think the dorito look makes you look buff, it doesn't. Put some of that mass on your legs.

    Hmm....

    I'm already chancing the urge to buy the standard release as supposed to buy the eventual Tattooed version, this seems great for detail refinery and painting antics of the like, now i can't wait to get my hands on him once i have him ordered-
