    Ah, that's good advice, I hadn't thought of tape or tubing. Thanks!

    Nah, any respectably imposing rifle will do. So the OSKO CW figures' hand holes are similarly oversized also?

    Yeah, it seems that by pure fluke, the "5mm" ports and handles on WJ OS KO CW figures match "5mm" ports and handles on BMB/Aoyi figures. It's not perfect match but close enough (way better than Siege Cog's guns matching holes in his hands :D  ).
    These OS KO CW figures include: Protectobots (Rook, Streetwise, First Aid, Blades and Hot Spot), Stunticons (Offroad and Breakdown) and some funky repaints - Rook in kind of police navy blue colour scheme, Alpha Bravo with Blades' head and Chief Fire I've mentioned earlier.

    Siege KOs weaponized using accessories from OS KO CW figures

    Unfortunately since WJ's demise these CW KOs may be difficult to find nowdays, maybe except Chief and Stunticons,

    Anyone know where to get one of these? I can only find them on sites like Shopee and Carousell which won't ship to the US

    My package from Ali showed up like... almost four months after i ordered it so

    CAPTAIN ORANGUTAN VS FREEZE DEVIL

    Captain Orangutan:
    +The up-sized IF mold looks good and has ton of paint detail
    - Some parts are loose enough to fall off: the removable part of the hands, the little backpack jets, and one foot so far
    - Even then, QC is iffy. Mine doesn't have a face in beast mode
    - Is a floppity-ass bitch

    Freeze Devil
    +Look at those wings, goddamn
    +Tight enough hips/shoulders to do most poses (the tail helps)
    +That face sculpt is god tier. Includes a second, boring face, but why would you need it
    - Is still an oversized legends bot, parts like the tail pivot behind the head look HUGE at deluxe scale

    Thanks for posting these! I saw the Freeze listing on Ali and was curious.
    Respectfully, beast mode pics if you please. Yes, I want to see that nonexistent monkey face too, lol

    Thoughts...

    20220330_201631.jpg

    Original... interesting concept... great plastic quality... alt modes are impressive... bot modes are unique... who doesn't love spacecraft?

    That being said...

    Arms don't hold together well where the legs come together and hold the combiner hand in.

    Hands themselves are wiggly-wobbly, in that there is too much free swinging between the hand2gun pivot... would have preferred simple static hands and/or gun replacements - bad design.

    Torso/shoulder pegs SUUUUCK and come loose too easily - if the side parts for the radar dish (grey parts) were incorporated and helped "lock" the shoulders in from the back, it would have been solid.

    All in all, IMO... worth the price of admission. :thumb

    Everyone keeps rating this set based on the combined mode, but I have to admit, it's the team of themed space robots that got my attention.

    The combiner isn't selling me, just on the clunky aesthetics alone (although I do dig the Cobra Commander head) :)

    These guys put me in the mind of the Weijiang Calculation King (Computron) that came out. I wonder if they had anything to do with it...looks interesting.

    Yeah that's pretty bad. With how well they did the rest of the figure I'm surprised they failed so hard on that face. Almost looks like it's missing its jaw piece

    Woof. I mean .. that's just.
    Is it missing the bottom half of the face?
