    How is it? Do you plan on transforming? If so, any chipping?

    I've been thinking about grabbing a second copy. It's certainly an expensive double to pick up though :p

    Despite having owned this since V1 first came out, I’ve still yet to experience the beast mode in person.
    As I only have one of this model due to how much space two of them would occupy and bot mode is the preferred display option, I’ve never felt the desire to risk transforming him but, maybe now that I’ve started hanging things from the wall, I may be able to find a space for that big dragon to fly…

    Can anyone explain to me how to properly attach the Dragon head to the arm? I got him today and haven't succeeded in attaching it yet.

    I usually flip the two fore arm palles up and articulate the hidden hand further into the fore arm and then slide the dragon head on. It's an easier angle for me at least

    Oh yeah, I forgot the dragon head comes off.

    But yeah it's tricky the first time since both attachment points like to move. I almost feel bad for that fully articulated hand stowed inside that I literally never have and will never use. :lol
