    Hoping to get one of the Jan/Feb ones that are coming in as I like my boxes to be pretty. It helps on resale down the road if I decide I now longer need it. Not to likely to part ways with this Ono.

    Yeah, both mine are too tight to go on. feels like the mushroom peg is gonna shear off. I have some small files and started filing one of the laser attachments. Its getting better, but i'm gonna have to finish another time, after stickers I'm not in the mood to file right now.

    Mine arrived yesterday and I stickered him up after football last night. I'm so glad the Toyhax labels were included (it'd feel kinda barren without it). I do wish the white parts were silver instead of white, and the extreme tightness on the optional missile/gun-hand parts and trying to wedge them onto the mushroom peg is really unfortunate (was this an issue with previous versions of this mold? I always meant to get the XTB toon Hoist & Trailbreaker before but haven't gotten around to it, so this is my first time handling this mold), BUT it's still really cool to get this guy and I'm glad I was able to secure him now and without having to pay through the nose to do it.

    (Also, minor OCD nitpick - why doesn't he come with a bio card?)

    That joker on eBay is getting desperate to sell his. Keeps making offers.

    My copies arrived last night. While I am glad to own them, I am glad I opted for other companies' version of Hoist and Trailbreaker.

    V1 Paean had no problem fitting the accessories onto his wrists, but I'm pretty sure V2 Paean had serious problems doing the same, due to the mold-change to his hands.

    I got a notification that mine has arrived! Just a few more hours and I’ll be home to check him out.

    Just went outside to look and mine was dropped off. Thanks FedEx!

    I have to say my box wasn't dinged at all and now I am sitting here trying to figure out who the third head belongs to. Will have to take Ono out and transform him so he can go on the Christmas display with the Black Series Star Wars figures from last year.

    Oh my god. What a complicated transformation! I’m not sure if I like this… When I get him in robot mode he may never go back.. or maybe the instructions are screwing me up.

    I didn't apply the silver arm details, as that just seems a little off to me (as others have stated, I wished the white robot parts had been silver).

    I managed to transform him finally. :lol 

    It was easier looking at pictures for the legs.

    The backpack took forever as I couldn’t get it to attach. Then I decided to look at the instructions again and forgot to slide the hips forward and it all went together. I like him. He’s a bit stumpy, but I like him. I’m terrified of trying to transform him back to truck mode… usually I’ll do a back and forth and then back to robot again before displaying him, but… we’ll see. :lol

    The transform really isn't terrible, especially if you know the quirks of the figure transformation. Mainly getting certain things untabbed/tabbed a certain way is the biggest hurdle. I typically watch a YouTube video for a transformation of a 3rd party figure when I get stuck on something.

    But yeah, this one certainly ain't no BadCube Wardog by any stretch of the means.

    The instructions made it worse than it was. It’s the dread of getting everything tightly packed back into truck mode that I dread. So many fiddly bits. I rarely ever buy 3P MP figures. It wasn’t as bad as MPM Barricade or Megatron, both of which I never transformed again because I physically couldn’t get them into vehicle mode.

    A3U (at least the Canadian site) only has 4 left, for anyone who's been putting it off.

    Has anyone ordered from them gotten theirs to ship yet? (I know it's Christmas, so I'm not asking impatiently, I'm just curious)

    Both A3U and Toy Dojo list him as January 2022 so other than those who got left overs from the Con I don't expect anyone has yet. I would also be pleasantly surprised if it was early January, but I would expect mid to late January.
