    Yeah, judging from the pic, I can’t see any of the improvements they mentioned. You figure the led lights would be noticeable at the very least.

    Seems like one of the already released reissues, it has the same silver bits on the abs and unpainted nose, guess we'll have to wait and see

    Its about time someone took advantage of this, Id buy it for the bigger better head and other upgrades. Make a DOTM, make a nemesis, make SG....there is too much $$$ to be made.

    Hope it’s real, but from that photo I don’t see anything really new and the figure has the blue on the nose like the last “reissue”.

    But again hope it’s real.

    OK, I'm confused. Did you do the chest mod or no? Yours looks good too; mine doesn't look all stupid bocky either. Is it something to do with V2, or do most just have a hard time with their transformers???

    Oh, I also have that small add on piece for the chest as well, but it's not like that piece shrinks the mid-section. Most with the unmodded chest/mid-section look like a giant block.

    So did you mod yours, is it something to do with Version 2, or did you just transform it properly.

    Again, mine doesn't stick out either that much, so I am undecided on modding it.

    Ok, good to see that this thread isn't a zombie, but did anyone ever get their color from iacon store on the last set of orders?? I see they have a new listing for almost another $150 from what my original order was, and they've just stopped responding to me about getting a refund, and PayPal and my bank are basically telling me to F off, because of the product name.. idk what else to do, at this point. :( 

    Wow, I reached out to their Facebook, and they fucking blocked me! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    I’m genuinely surprised people still buy from iacon. They sound like a scam site.

    You should have been trying to get a charge back the moment they said that your options were to ship next month or wait for next year for a new batch from a company that doesn't exist anymore.

    Finally decided to buy a custom head and I just wanted to ask if anyone has successfully placed a leafage v2 head (or any head with the correct proportions with the body) without affecting the transformation?

    I remember there were a few pages talking about how they can shear the matrix chamber to be able to let the antenna fit and such, but the thread's so long that I can't find it anymore haha
