    Three of us now with the same assembly issue. Guess someone was having an off day on the production line.

    Was unsure if I wanted this when I bought it, but chose to be safe rather than sorry. Now have it in hand and have decided that I don't need it.
    If anyone wants a sealed copy of this for a reasonable price, PM me! Nothing against the figure- it should teach me to only buy stuff that I actually really want.

    I opted to cancel my BBTS order. I don't know where I got my expectations in size from but the figure is too short for my liking.

    Got mine earlier in the week, and opened it up for a real quick look. Will have to look again later if I have the assembly issue or not though.
    I don't have a SG prime and don't like SG prime colors, but I like it a lot on this mold, and it looks the best out of all the Optus's IMO.
    The overall weathering is eh, but the bullet holes/weathering on the bullet holes is a nice.
    Also looks like the bullet holes are all on the same spots on most of these figures.

    got a response from PSX after they saw the picture. They’ll be sending replacement parts.

    Here are some quick photos of SG Optus. This is by far my favorite 3rd party mold and I can’t wait for more! I love the paint and effects on this guy and that Ax!
    Once I get my new photography set-up, I’ll make sure to take a bunch of photos of this beautiful lad C787DDD0-A13F-48AB-BD73-E4B7B4402217.jpeg 2D52A25F-EC10-4468-914D-84DE7EF9EC2B.jpeg FAA8B49F-E990-426C-9743-D91E4AED9057.jpeg D90F7181-4BB4-47B4-BCB6-E68D5FE742FA.jpeg 31A10D1B-334B-4159-BFB2-24A5028CE6F8.jpeg 4F6E0328-3347-4936-9937-FB7D3D98C938.jpeg 9D7F7A13-4265-442D-9639-5F757A2177DE.jpeg 7E4CCFA8-4EEE-4A40-974A-3A8EA335FBAA.jpeg E50A6030-4795-4E73-84E2-423400B68D8A.jpeg 4736713F-DD07-419D-ADC0-5EECD585D5F2.jpeg

    Is anyone looking to sell the battle-damaged Optus Pexus bonus head that came with this guy?

    This figure didn't come with a battle damaged head for Optus Pexus, only the one without the faceplate, which the regular release also includes.
