    Looking good! Can’t wait to see colored test shots. Hope to add it to my collection soon.

    Hey, I'm curious - why pre-pay for something now rather than wait for the payment request?

    So Showz states they package and ship in the order payments were received. As a reviewer I like to get the figure as soon as possible so I can get the review up in a timely manner. I have no idea if it really makes a difference, but if it can I'm happy to pay early.

    hope this answers your question

    Some screen grabs from the video.
    He looks much more proportionate when shot from a more head on angle.
    I tend to pay pre-orders in full when I can just because it’s my preferred means of keeping track of my spending and budgeting.
    If I have too much money building up in my account, I’ll just assume I can spend it when really it would mostly be spoken for.

    Also, you sometimes get a few percent discounted from the total for paying upfront from certain stores- every little helps.

    Anyways- looks like tfw has sorted their server issues out so here’s some screen grabs from the video uploaded earlier.

    Megatron appears much more proportionate when shot more head on.
    I think he’ll look absolutely glorious when fully painted.

    Yeah I paid off mine today too. I honestly don't even care if he's a little off. I just love the design. They still have the weird thumbs as Primal, but they look more refined now. I think the blurriness made the chin look colossal. It really does look like the prototype model they showed off a while ago, just smoothed out more.

    I'm very surprised to see ShowZ's price matching US retailers this time around. Generally they're a little bit cheaper.

    EDIT: sorry, it’s a video showing off the tail piece that held the golden disc fragment in use for the figure

    I wonder if it will come with some different expressions. I hope it does.

    Video works for me but I’m not sure what they’re hoping to convey with it.
    Looks like the fragment span for half a second and then got stuck inside the reader, then the guy half flips up a panel that did nothing…

    I don’t do gimmicks with figures but this just seemed like a failed demonstration that shouldn’t have been shared.

    Looks like it still a work in progress with the spinning disk piece

    That panel is the projector in the show
