    I know the box art has been posted here, but the artist shared the full pics on facebook.

    Got mine today and these tabs and springs were floating around in the box. I’m assuming they’re used to lock the shoulders in place? I contacted TFSource for help and a possible exchange, but can anyone show me how they’re supposed to be assembled?

    Still looking for the screwdriver that came with D-Zef. If anyone can part with theirs I'll gladly pay.

    So, I'm annoyed that the mace(?) ball can't plug in properly while the gun is being held in a hand, I would happily pick up an upgrade kit that fixes that. And I had to put some clear nail polish on the inside of the gun where the chain handle mounts, as it was too loose on my copy. It stays in place snuggly now.

    I've been getting creative with wrapping the chain around the gun, and just letting the ball dangle. Here are some pics of how I have it currently.

    How is everyone else displaying the chain/ball/gun combo? Are you just using the gun, and putting the ball and chain aside?

    Wow... lots of QC issues on this one... this soon after release too.

    Makes me strongly question if it's worth the risk for the G1 version coming soon?

    MMC with known QC issues or XTB with their record of horrible QC and bad design choices...

    1/2 dozen of one... 6/12 of the other...

    I'm doing exactly that.i do wish the mace attached to the gun better and in a position where it can be done while the gun is in-hand but it's such a silly weapon to begin with that I don't care.

    I am keeping the rifle and chain ball in the packaging, it is a silly weapon. :confused: 

    However, if I would use it, I'd just wrap the chain around the gunbarrel.

    How does he look with MMC Tarn and Overlord? I’m aware there’s a picture with the prototype but I was wondering about the final colors.

    I know it sucks to look through pages and pages but I know at least one member has posted with Carnifex and I don't remember if the Tarn in the pic was Kultur or the Flame Toys one but it's something, at least.

    I got the email to pay off the balance for the G1 version this Morning, paid it off. I thought he wasn't coming out till mid next month?

    After an age, TCP got him in & I got him in the mail and then kept him sitting there tantalizing in the package while I tried to achieve a particular personal goal and I achieved it and woo!!

    I love this. A lot of those features we used to see in the early days of 3rd Party--lots of accessories, paint apps out the wazoo, die-cast--done with the hindsight MMC has from 12 years of making figures.

    I love the irony in how James Roberts wrote Deathsaurus and Star Saber. IDW Star Saber is so over-the-top righteous and 'good' that he is an insane zealot. Deathsaurus is thoroughly unmotivated by the Decepticon cause and just loyal to his crew. Kind a fun way to deconstruct two leader figures.
