    I hope Cang doesn’t pull a FansToys and leave us hanging for a loooooooooooooooooong time for the last member. And combine, pun intended, that with a price tag that realizes they have us over a barrel with our pants down…

    I paid $92.99 at Show-Z when ferocious first came out. 107.99 for Landbull, and 137.99 for Firmament. All first runs.

    Even if they did, at least with these guys all the combined parts are coming with the individual members, so we could put the first five together and see what it’s supposed to look like.
    Kinda like the Predaking version of this:

    The first 3 members look great, but the new lion revealing doesn't look very much like a lion, more like a golden baboon to me.

    Maybe because the body is too short and flat while the limbs are too long for a lion?

    I hope they can improve the shape... (I think it was inspired by Zoids Liger, but maybe Cang didn't copy the shape very well.)

    Yeah it definitely needs a slight rework. I know they said they are fixing the colors.

    A golden baboon with a stunted unicorn horn… or maybe a burgundy smilodon with a spikey lion’s mane and a stunted unicorn horn

    Maybe the reason for the delay on Headstrong is because the feet come with the rhino and they're still working on designing the feet. Otherwise, it does feel weird that they're saving a limb for last, especially one with the potential to be fairly similar to Tantrum.

    I think the feet and head will be sold in their own box

    What is a good flight stand for Divebomb for both his modes? I know he has a port for a stand in his bird mode but I'm not sure about his robot mode.

    The original toy Razorclaw, as well as the toon Razorclaw, were both short and flat also. It’s kinda his thing.

    Takara were never the greatest at animal anatomy!

    TBH I think I need to get my head checked for the above reasons. Totally breaking from my usual buying habits…seeing reviews before committing and the final price will undoubtedly be a significant sum…. Maybe it’s a sign my addiction is getting worse…is there a patch to lessen withdrawal symptoms for this?!?

    From one slippery rabbit hole…then right down another…. Perhaps trying a support group would help. Maybe we could build a fire. Sing a couple of songs, huh? Have to do something before it’s game over, man…

    Good . . . good . . . our numbers grow.

    I wanna say that pill bug has been explained away as not related to TK somewhere in the thread.

    Well, that's news to me! We're going to be able to see combined mode's head pretty soon then, and that's pretty exciting!

    Having the combiner's head inside Razorclaw means the lion mode will have a stout upper body which is good news.
