    He's bent at the knees with the lower legs pitched forward on the transformation joint in the instructions.

    He's a tall boi.

    Some 3p company is going to make a killing with replacement wings that are, like, double that size.

    I'll also add his hips and knees are good solid joints. On top of that, he's got good sized feet.

    You can really get him leaning out there without feeling like he's gonna tip over.

    And if you can't tell, basically the entire figure save his tail is carried in the dragon torso. Yet he's able to balance with it all held out in front of his hips like that.

    The Legacy version? He is not. I am impressed by how stable this is.

    No rumblings on Cryotek yet, I was planning on holding off picking this up until we know if he’s coming but this looks so nice I don’t mind owning the mold twice… again.

    I was having a lot of trouble pegging the dragon chest onto the back without the entire robot head assembly popping up. Turns out that there's a slight mold issue, on mine at least, if you look at the picture there are three plastic lines and if you shave down the middle one just a bit everything tabs in perfectly PXL_20221118_175439458~2.jpg

    Has anyone noticed these wing tips are installed backwards?
    PXL_20221119_090643002~2.jpg
    All the stock photos show them incorrectly assembled. The box art, the render on the back of the box, the instructions, and the original toy all have them facing the way mine now are in the picture. Based on the L /R markings on the part, they're on the correct wing already, just rotated 180 degrees. I had to take both screws out of the wing, wedge it apart enough to take the part off the boss it's on, then wedge the part back in after flipping it. You can't fully take apart the wing without removing the flathead pin at the hinge, which would need heated and would screw up the hinge on its way out. I forced my thumb beneath the plastic bar attached to the top wing (the one that the other wings get hooked on to pull them open) to hold it apart enough to get the part out and back in.

    Neither were mine. Must be a limited run issue similar to Galvatron's shoulders.

    That's good, because every picture that I've seen of him they are flipped around backwards, the way to tell is if the very top claw is pointing inward, correct, or outward, incorrect

    On the first page of this thread the renders are correct but the images and nearly every pic I have seen after that are incorrect.

    Dear Primus, it looks terrible!

    Glad I still have the original BW version which is SUPERIOR!

    Exactly, in the same way that the original G1 Optimus prime blows the earthrise version out of the water in every single category, articulation, paint, transformation,
