    Yeah, it appears that most have changed formulations to include a floor cleaner to eliminate a step.

    Then just use any clear water-based polyurethane (e.g. from Minwax or many others). It’s an equivalent substitute. It’s probably not quite as cheap as the floor polish, but a helluva better deal than Kiki, which is like paying $20 for a can of beer.

    The loose Sword in Hand seems very common.
    Saw it in EmGos Video also.
    I really hope Cang Toys can do better with the Dinobots.

    RazorClaw is the most annoying I think, because
    they really went the wrong way with the Spikes.
    They really do hurt. Putting a combiner together
    should not hurt at all. But this one does.

    For the digi bashers on here, would anyone be willing to give these figures a new colour scheme? Was hoping Red for the lion, yellow for the bird, white for the sabertooth, green for the gorilla, blue for the rhino and black for the bull. I'm good with the wolves being silver though. For those of you wondering, yes, those are the wild force zord colours.

    That sounds like a fun project. I’m not one of the good ‘bashers on here and I’m slow as hell, but I like to draw in Procreate to relax, so I might give it a go.

    Ok... there is no way I can swing this entire combiner, but I can't pass up Hugerhino. I will happily have him as a one-off. Then I'll likely get the entire set in mini form.

    On a side note, is anybody else's brain parsing the name of the final member as "Huger Hino"?

    I totally understand this. I’ll likely end up with only the bull and the rhino. I’m planning to sell off the tiger and I didn’t buy the others for aesthetic reasons.

    Mine stands perfectly stable and even in the weird poses I put him in. His weight is huge, but it also helps stabilize him.

    The sword holds fine. Loose, maybe but he keeps it in hand when I move him around. Same goes for the cannon on his arm.

    Spikes fall off? Maybe they are not tabbed in completely?

    Combining him was fine, and getting the combiner pegs out was actually quite easy. Maybe your copies were extra tight.

    Sad to see that you think he is a mess, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I think he looks God-tier.

    My copy doesn't seem that loose. Ya i agreed this thing is heavy. But not really hard to pose, he is 10k times better than the TFC floppy Ares lol.

    That is exactly what I thought when I first saw the preorder at Show-Z. Took me a bit to see HugeRhino.

    Is it possible to pose the rhino with the elbows bending the correct way? Like, can the bicep be turned 180 degrees and still have the foot point forward? If it's possible, can somebody post a photo?

    I mean can the bicep rotate so the leg bends this direction.

    Screenshot_20230202-113216_Gallery.jpg

    As you can see, the front legs of rhinos bend the opposite way that the toy has them.

    It can if you don't rotate it from robot form but an actual Rhino's leg doesn't bend that way.

    See skeleton posted above. I'm wondering if the rhino foot can still point forward if the leg is rotated that way.

    It can. You have rotation at the bicep and the ankle. I know someone posted a pic with it like that a while ago. Just added this pick since the skeleton doesn't show a bend at all, but yes it can be done

    Ok, with the skin on the rhino I see what's going on. The elbow of the rhino is where the leg meets the skin, the shoulder is then deep within the skin, and the wrist is in the middle of the limb.

    So mapping this onto the toy, the robot shoulder becomes the rhino elbow, and the robot elbow becomes the rhino wrist, then everything is bending the correct way as shown in official photos. Now my mind is at ease. :)
