Hello and sorry if this question has already been asked. I received Shouki with great joy and I can't wait to see the release of the others, but I have a little disappointment, I thought there was a flying stand sold with it and in fact no... Do you know what is the add-on stand that we see on the promo photos? is it sold separately? Or is it a Japan specific bonus?!

 

The stand arm from mp-52 or MP Dinobot

 

Magazine arrives today!

 

Just discovering the Raiden chest plate fits in the nose of the train in train mode. Mind blown.

It fills a big gap in robot mode backpack but I didn't think with the other stuff there that it would fit in train mode too.

 

Mine says it won't arrive for another 3 weeks!

 

Yep, the chest shield fits there. You can't have both the seats and the shield stoted at the same time, though.

 

They went a little overboard with the packaging, but it's here! Now to impatiently wait for Shouki

 

In an interview, it looks like one of the designers gave Figure King the plain red sticker, and then FK made the other 3 variations themselves.

Raiden was also supposed to be made out of fictional trains, so you alt mode enthusiasts can thank Takara for that!

 

Mine from Amazon Japan took a while to ship. Now they've done the dreaded hand it over to the USPS maneuver, which means an extra couple of days. It's supposed to be delivered today but I'm thinking that won't happen. Hopefully tomorrow is the day if not today, as I would like to get it with the long holiday.

 

He's everything I ever wanted from a trainbot. I can't wait for the other 5
I just wish the damn mushroom peg on his arm didn't suck. I hear it's a common problem with him

 

Seats?

 

Try looking at the arm and see if there is any extra flash or plastic anywhere at all that might be getting in the way of the rotation. It's a common thing with mushroom pegs for some reason

 

Next time he sees robot mode i'll have to look. I got him back into train mode and my inner kid is in love with it

 

He comes with two optional seats that can sit the MP human figures and Diaclone pilots.

 

This is how mine arrived on Wed. But the contents were fine, thankfully...

 

Box did it's job!

 

Oh so that is what those are! I thought it was something needed for combine mode which I haven't tried yet.

 

I want to make sure, does Shouki come with the adapter needed to hook the train mode to a flight stand on his rail?

 

Yes, its a little plastic insert that works for all 3 modes.

 

At least you got some plastic protection. Mine was straight shoved in AJP envelop carton wirn blue Jp fonts without any plastic.
