    Rig has the stamp of quality.

    Ah I see...they are a reliable store for sure, but sometimes they do receive stock later than the others. In addition, I had PM with them about a replacement part and they had said Covid had affected their operations...then i read this in another thread, so that backed it up.

    So if you haven't already, try reaching out thru the 'comment' feature that is associated with your order (via their website)...they seem to be pretty good about replying, even if they are partially shut down.

    Good luck!

    This thing is so bad looking, it’s just downright horrible. Which is everything Huffer should be.

    FT did an excellent job here. They got that cartoon aesthetic to a T. Articulation is limited but who cares really. It’s Huffer. A waste of a character.

    Very happy with it.

    Now please reissue Brawn, and do a Sheridan 2.0 and re-think the whole Powerglide thing.

    Mine arrived later than expected, but that doesn't matter. He's such a loveable little gremlin. Out of all the current minibots released by FT this guy and Beachcomber might be my favorite.

    Badcube has served it's purpose and I'll look into selling it off soon.

    Just started messing with Rig. Wasn't sold on the figure from the early pics, but having him in hand has changed my mind a bit.

    I still need to transform him, but yeah, he fits the bill for G1 toony Huffer. PicsArt_01-19-08.49.17.jpg PicsArt_01-19-05.34.34.jpg PicsArt_01-19-05.31.39.jpg

    I wish there was a bit of dark panel lining around his eye jewels and the lines in his face - I think that would really enhance that face sculpt as well as make it a bit more cartoon accurate

    Is there actually a way to share Instagram posts/images here? If there is, I can't figure it out.

    I had the chance to preorder this from everywhere, but didn't because I that 2nd update FT put out the face was so messed up on Huffer, but so glad I picked up a preorder with BBB at the 11th hour, this lil guy looks amazing. Yes articulation is not great, but its good enough, the one piece front skirt is annoying, but at least its not a statue like hoodlum.

    You know, when I saw the alt mode looking like it did, I dropped my PO.

    a mistake, If I say so myself. Considering the other options are horrible and I don’t see any other company doing Brawn justice anytime soon.

    I’m going to have to pay that idiot late tax it seems.

    Yeah I missed out on Brawn too and it sucks because I want him now, but I don't wanna pay upwards of $160 for him.

    Unless a reissue happens, it does seem to be the lowest going rate. Damn.

    Curious as to why they do metallic paint on some figures and some have matt paint.

    Same, curious also. While I really like the paint on Rig, I don't think he NEEDED to look that good. Metallic paint should have been more matte to match the other figures. He looks like he came into money and just joined the rest of them after getting some work done and is shinin'.
