    I got Arcee from ShowZ yesterday and it arrived incredibly fast.

    I took her out and looked her over and she looks great, but she does have those loose hips that everyone else has mentioned, so she is currently undergoing a Future treatment. That never has failed in the past, so I think that will make everything just right. Otherwise, I am very pleased with this. I’m a huge fan of show accuracy and this absolutely nails it. I never noticed how many paint apps were missing from the original figure and this rectifies all of those problems and then some with the minor mold alterations.

    I got the comic angel engine, and her left breast section won't close inwards as far as it should.

    I wonder if I should try to shave down some plastic to get it to move.

    Got the same problem with my copy. Yeah you should shave it down a bit.

    Move the joint up until you can force it in further last where it normally would be, I think there's some flash molding or paint getting in the way, but moving it back and forth further helps remove the issue

    Well, the left one is usually slightly larger than the right one… but this is ridiculous. :lol

    Yes. Although poor Breakdown is looking bare bones. Been meaning to paint him, but kept putting it off.

    Yes, a great injustice will soon be rectified (assuming that it doesn't end up being terrible)

    Gosh it better be good. No figure has ever needed an improved KO more than Airachnid. :lol  (Looks it might be mostly an original design rather than a KO, actually.)

    Thanks. It's been a long time, but pretty sure that is G06 Hunter Smokescreen

    reduced-image_6249_2_1613002832.jpeg

    NOT to be confused with an earlier TakaraTomy release of Smokescreen, which was just the Knockout mold, in white.

    Yep, that's the one I have too. I remember picking up to replace the US version.

    Everytime we mention Bulkhead ,the figure got delayed for a month. The estimated release date by now is 2035.
