    Very likely just a mold defect on your shoulder hinge. Is there a fix for the knee ratchets? Mine seems to slip the ratchets a lot especially when the new bends too far forward.

    I think @xcorpeo addressed the knees. I can't recall if a fix was mentioned or not.

    Yep I did address it in my video. Definitely sounds like misassembled knees. Gotta align the locking tabs on the ratchet horizontally. @MysticFortune

    I addressed the tabbing of the white cab to the blue shoulders in my post below. Needs some filing, if u're confident of doing it

    Got the replacement forearm a few days ago via ShowZ. Easy install and now all good. Yay!

    Got my posable hands from Baba this afternoon. I know I read previous posts that it seemed to be hit and miss whether the hands fit well or not. The originals on my copy were not particularly tight to begin with so I was mentally prepared to have to put floor polish on them.

    But I lucked out.

    I don't know if the variable is the hands themselves or the KO MP22's, but the new hands for mine were a nice tight fit. Magnus can hold his gun without even a little droop.

    Not that the angle in this photo is a particular test of holding the gun steady. I just wanted to get both hands into the same frame. And I never noticed before this that the gun has got a glossy little rectangle on it.

    Nice to see the hands fit well.
    The gun on mine has a glassy little rectangle as well but it isn't a blue metallic color like yours.

    Thanks!

    It's reflecting the color from another monitor on my desk. That made the glossy rectangle a lot more noticeable.

    Received my ThF KO today to act as an alt mode display alongside my official copy. I’m half tempted to use THF for bot mode though. His colours seem more vibrant, the improved arm articulation and butt flap are better. I also noticed THF has a metallic silver face while my official has a lighter grey with a faint metallic flake.
    Most noticeable though is I appear to be getting some yellowing on the white parts of my official. Had it for two or three years now and it’s not really noticeable on its own but next to the pristine THF straight out of the box, theres definitely a hint of cream in those thighs.

    I would imagine you'd wan't to use THF as the bot mode for the reasons you mentioned and Takara for the alt mode. Besides all 4 of Takara's wheels touches & rolls on the ground in alt mode according to THF vs Takara MP22 reviews.

    I'd rather see another company do a better quality KO for it. IT or Yes Model/BB7.

    You are right. An IT Delta Magnus would be an instant buy. I've never gotten anything from Yes Model/BB7 but I've seen the positive reviews from other posters.

    Cool background, may I ask what it’s from/what it is?

    I'm honestly not sure. He's standing in front of my monitor on my desk. I googled sc-fi background or something like that and made the browser full screen. I've looked at some of the backdrops and diorama type items but never pulled the trigger so pretty much any photo is just on my desk.

    Ordered this today off of AliExpress. Jumped on to the sale mentioned in the rogue thread from a few days ago. $59 total.

    I'm starting to run out of room in my case. This guy will certainly need some squeezing in.
