    I’ve seen tiny cracks in the chrome on my first copy, but I’m confident that they don’t go further than that. Certainly no looseness or pieces breaking off etc.

    Easily one of the least bothersome MP releases I’ve ever had when it comes to worrying about breakages.

    I think the chrome cracking around the pin is only surface level. That small a surface area probably isn't a very strong bond, and then forcing the pin through it causes the "skin" to wrinkle and crack.

    We all have that little crinkle on the side, he definitely does have a crack on the underside of his missile.

    TBH I haven’t actually utilised the entire range of shoulder articulation…haven’t really felt the need to.

    This is why I choose official over 3p! And you don't have to buy a separate, fake bio card and box sticker like the FT version. Good looking fig, but no thanks.

    So I caved and bought it today... The more I saw it, the more I liked it, flaws and all. Didn't even wait for the KO!

    I like Outrider (and even Terraegis), but but this just has that toon aesthetic I'm addicted to. I know it's not 100% failthful, and there are ugly bits, but there's just something about it that speaks to me in ways the others don't. Urgh, I hate my expensive taste.

    Got mine today, but I've been laid low by the winter bug that's doing the rounds, so I haven't done much with it as I feel like crap. I did free the arms up though (sanded a little at first, but got impatient and just forced them in the end, with minimal plastic warping). This thing has some crazy articulation, that's for sure! Bags of personality too!

    So can he just not look up with the limited neck articulation?? I also remember a YouTube comment mention a common backpack missed transformation step from alt to bot mode?
