    Got one today as well.
    -Primal has some super tight joints, and a few weak ones. He doesn't feel the same as the Kingdom one for some reason.
    -Bumblebee is okay. Had issues closing it up, but it's fine now. Elbows and shoulders are loose.
    -Fangry is kind of disappointing. The knees are super weak, the wrists are a bit floppy, beast mode pelvis doesn't stay in place well and the balance isn't the greatest.
    -Blackarachnia is absolutely beautiful, with the only flaw being a loose neck joint.

    Let me know how you fair with floor polish tightening them up. Hope they’re all fixable.

    I just gotta ask, how do u view nemesis primal? Like is he a spawn of unicron to u or a clone? Or something else entirely? Just wanna hear ur take on it, because he has no bio or anything so far

    I've found that different colors of plastic can change the type of plastic. So, it might genuinely not be the same as the Kingdom version.

    Honestly, I rarely ever apply personal fiction to my collection. This Primal will just be another figure on the Kingdom shelf.
    Sorry.

    You're definitely right. The plastic has a diflstinct difference compared to the original mold. The original felt almost unique. This one feels more toy-ish.

    Hasn't that always been the problem with that mold, though?

    The knees on my Twinferno were good, but the pelvis has always been odd.

    Floor polish worked amazing on mine. But the ankles were good out of the box, so it was just the knees and a little bit the hips that needed TLC.

    I wrestled for ages with my Fangry but finally it all came together with an astonishingly loud click and holds together solidly. Now I know what to do Twinferno holds together solidly for the first time. The knack (my sharona) appears to be to get the rectangular hole at the top of the three holes at the back to recess correctly. My other two TR Monsterbots always held ok off the tab going in the middle hole but these two needed a bit more

    Almost exactly the same experience, except the only issue with my Fangry is pretty loose knees. Primal does indeed feel strangely different.

    Gawd, I hope they would just put online orders up already! Better yet, have Hasbro Pulse put them up!

    A friend of mine was just telling me about how factories will sometimes use "reclaimed" items to produce new ones, in this case, plastics. I'm betting they used recycled or "garbage" plastics to produce these. I know some plastics don't take well to paint, and so on. Guessing that's what they used.

    Pulse hasn't put up a single Buzzworthy item, in the US. I believe UK, only.

    Set examination:
    Blackarachnia- all joints tight and good although the transformation torso swivel on mine is like non existent, just flops
    Fangry- got lucky, no issues at all no loose joints, everything is solid
    Bumblebee- again everything is solid, the hands don’t feel like they will get stuck on mine, they slide thru just fine for transformation with the trunk
    Nemesis primal- tight joints, loose chest flap, although it’s not a bother it stays still when it wants too.

    I honestly may sell my Netflix bee, the colors on this bee are so nice and I feel like the intended purpose of the vehicle mode is to be a camero homage to the movie verse bee, even though it’s meant to mimic cliff jumpers alt mode, and the figure overall feels like it just looks more color accurate to me, I think he may become my main bee, also appreciate that ironhide finally got his bazooka from transport to oblivion lol
