    I know that it sounds ridiculous but holy crap! The trenchcoat really gives what i think is a pretty mediocre figure so much more character.

    Oh my, I just found out that my Trenchcout was ready for pickup two weeks ago, and is now on the way back to FH... Fantastic service from DHL to not leave a note in my letter box. :mad:

    IMO, Trenchcoat is one of the best 3rd party accessories.

    I think you mean typical service. DHL is awful.

    I just saw in the thread of Hosehead that Minerva can have the car parts positioned behind the back, instead of hovering above the arms. Does someone have a picture of Nightbeat in this configuration?

    Oh, I thought they could be angled further to the back, hidden behind the arms. Thanks.

    They work exactly the same with each version.

    My personal preference is Minerva's with the wheel on the back (and roof in storage, Nightbeat in the more common configuration, and Windblade on her like her wings (hood also on storage)

    Does Nite Walker work as an IDW stand in? I would assume he's too big but wondered if he looks good with other bigger third party figures like MMC reformatted.

    I take it you're referring to size?

    I don't have the figure myself also because I wondered about size, but for a different reason: I wanted to use him alongsize the Fansproject headmasters. Made a pic request . Turns out the figure is about a head taller than a FP headmaster and a FP Headmaster is about a head shorter than MMC Rodimus.

    I've also seen other posts like by Sixo, that show it to be about carbot sized. And that's again about the same size as MMC Rodimus (hence why sizewise MP Skids works for a IDW collection).

    So, yes. I think he fits in size wise.

    Thanks. I couldn't find any pics of Nite Walker next to MMC stuff. Anyone else have a pic of Nite Walker next to any Hasbro deluxes or voyagers?

    Thanks. So hes a good size. The Generations Nightbeat just isn't doing it for me anymore after reading the comics.
