    I got Version 3 and it's a beautiful figure. Most, if not all, figures will deviate a lot to slightly from their cartoon counterparts. I also have the PE version and I look at his design as Megatron finally getting rid of his his organic components. Either way, if you sleep on this, the aftermarket prices a year from now will be close to $375-$400

    Where'd you end up grabbing it if you don't mind my asking?

    I was actually all set to link it here in my earlier post, but when I went to get the URL I noticed they are now “out of stock.”

    Jiangxing JX-MetalBeast-01 Winged Dragon. Available Now!

    Their shipping charges are terrifying. But I orderer several things that were less $$ than most places. So it ended balancing out.

    Had a version 2 rock up today, my god what a beast of a figure!! A centrepiece for the collection. I put this off for ages and kicking myself I didn't grab one sooner.

    Yea this guy is amazing. I initially went with Perfect Effect but had some gift certificates to burn so I picked up Winged Dragon. I was so impressed I got Cold Dragon. I hope this company does more figures because these are top notch. They put my SOCs to shame.

    I actually had the cold one rock up instead of the red one and had to return it, I did have a sneak peak at the blue and it did look very nice but don't have the space to double dip

    Does anyone know where I can buy him? Or did I miss this train. Was waiting for his issues to be fixed but now he is just sold out? Also sites like Terry and showzstore don’t specifically say it is the V3 they are sold out of? Kinda lost on this release

    There weren't really too much issues with any of the releases, it's a shame that you couldn't get one.

    Anyone know how to make pegging in the dragon arm easier? refuses to go in without a lot of force and the peg itself keeps moving so feels impossible

    There is not an easy way as far as I know unfortunately, there some paint there that makes difficult for the neck to slot in... Just patience and apply force in the right spot.

    Lay a towel on a desk or table to work on, stretch him out flat. You can get a finger under that peg to help align and use your other hand to apply force. Wait till you try to remove it...

    It's the angle, I turn on all my lights and put on my reading glasses...if you set up the angle and start it without it moving it just slides on..but a nudge can change it and you'll keep struggling ;)

    Yeah, getting the dragon arm on was annoying. It's difficult, but the toy is hardy enough to take it, but it still left dents in the plastic before finally giving in. Of course I never intent to remove it again, so I don't care about the blemishes that are covered.
