    New to this discussion, but has anyone bought the 3rd party sword/blades for this from TF Safari? I’ve never dealt with this company, or any company like this before. Also, if any of you got them, how do they look in hand? Is the paint quality high enough? Thank guys!

    Along with Optimus, I finally am in the 3A game!
    Couldn’t be happier with this. Glad I finally pulled the trigger.

    Be careful fellas, my Bumblebee DLX started to peel-off the paint on both biceps. I sealed the paint with spray semi-gloss enamel to avoid more chipping... I painted hundreds of things but I can't fix this area, I can't find the same color. :(

    I also have the KO for spare parts. I painted the cannon similar to the ThreeZero version and it's gorgeous.

    Finally got this after months of waiting.
    He should fit in just fine with Bay Prime until DLX TLK Bee Releases. And MDLX Bee's aesthetic fits nicely with DLX BBOP, and this should do as well until MDLX Prime releases. . .

    Curious little thing!

    Thought it would be fitting to put him into some Samus poses. Arm gun and visor helmet, haha. Though I couldn't get the Metroid II pose to look good enough. So no photo of that.

    I was just trying to bend the legs upward. I tried to angle it like the instruction tells you, but I didn’t know you were supposed to pivot the leg as well and the tubes snapped

    Do the wires on the pelvis part of the figure move on yours? Or are they in place?

    No. No movement on em, they're firm.

    Thanks for the reply. The place I got it from is telling me that the figure is actually designed to have the pieces with the wires move around, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Haven’t seen them shift around in any review either
