See I'm worried that because my Cacus was fine then my D-Zef will be busted. Just to balance things.

 

I don't understand? I got mine last month, it's in perfect condition, transforms great with no issues. Looks amazing. I've never had any issues ever with Mmc figures I get from PSX.

Actually The only issue that I ever had, was with my Has/Tak BW Transmetal Megatron, his gold parts all eventually crumbled into pieces so I had to replace him.

I feel like more people had issues with Ocular Max Unlimited Stellarus knees then dzef. Or PX cacus broken arm.

 

Meant the entire joint, but yeah, I know, my Cacus had an arm knocking around in the box when I got it.

Wonder what the turnaround for new pieces will be like for US retailers?

 

So yea about that D-Zef.

 

I\'ve been wanting to get a Deathsaurus to go with my haslab Victory Saber and I\'ve been back and forth on whether I should get mmc\'s g1 Deathsaurus or wait and see if that supposed commander class ends up actually happening. To anyone who has Z Def, would they recommend him?

 

I can recommend him. If they fix the shoulder armature so that it doesn’t end up broken or busted in the boy doubly so.

The only downside of the toy is the janky chicken head transformation. Which might bot be there for the G1 version.

On the other hand he is clearly the IDW iteration of the character and imho no amount of added pieces will change that. So if it is super important to you that Deathsaurus looks a certain way next to Haslab Star Saber it might me worth to wait…

 

This is a lovely group shot!

 

There's also D-Zef Continuum in the pipeline, too.

But, besides not being sure that the heights would work with Star Saber being shorter than Zef while Victory Saber is taller than Zef, I just think that Zef would outshine the HasLab ViSa.

HLVS has too many hollow parts for me, but I can see why people would want to have a new official, none MP in the modern, mainline style.

And, I feel confident that HLVS preorderers should wait for a HasLab or maybe even general release Deathsaurus. I don't believe that Hasbro would produce one without plans to make the other. Now, HLVS could just be a one off like the MP Star Saber, but I feel that producing Saber and Leo at least ups the odds that a Hasbro Deathsaurus is at least a consideration for them, and it would be for me, too, since I like Deathsaurus that much.

We shall see.

 

Kuma posted a shoulder repair guide. Mine came intact but im sure many will get some use out of this.

 

Edit: Thanks for sharing @TransformerFanatic. Was so squirrely trying to do 50 things online I didn't even look enough to see the post right before linking it

But yea... after walking someone through it via video chat and others through text I figured it may be useful. Don't mind the video length. It's just me walkong it all through and honestly it can be done in a minute or two per side.

 

Looks like this guy is selling out. All of the usual Asian sellers I frequent are out of stock. I resorted to preordering at BBTS but postage will be murder.

 

Meanwhile, the North American shipment is somewhere in there off the port of Long Beach...



(Yes, this is a photo from 2021, and I have no idea if the port is still backed up.)

 

As it should. This figure is absolutely, positively better than it has any need to be.

Speaking of which if it feels like I've been spamming with pics by all means lmk and I'll keep them to personal pages.

 

I have no complaints about your photography, and very well welcome it!  

 

This thread has been surprisingly slow despite him being released, so keep them coming.

 

Ok then.

 

How tall is he from the feet to the top of his wings? Everywhere I see says 10 inches but I’m not sure if they’re stopping at the top of his head or whether they’re using his highest point. I’m trying to figure out what my JG1 Detolf shelf heights are going to need to be set at.

 

10 inches at the head. So the tips of the wings will demand 12 inches of space unless you lower the wings down.
