    Not that sometime has past with these upgrades. How does the Magnus/Prime/Nemesis figures hold up to the weight of the armor?

    Mine has been posed on the shelf since day one, and is doing fine.

    Ditto. I've had City Commander and Shadow Commander since their respective releases and both my Ultra Magnus and Nemesis Prime hold up fine under the weight. All joints are still as tight as they were when I originally got them.

    Thanks guys. I read a review when City Commander came out, that the armor may be to heavy. Now I will buy Shadow Commander and Nemesis.

    who said that? quite the contrary. The only issue about weight may be the big cannon/gun. You need to reinforce the ratcheting elbow joint so that the arm can stay locked while holding the gun up.

    The armor is fine weight wise. Results may vary on your toys ability to hold up the BFG based on wear and tear on your individual toy

    Yeah, the BFG is the only heavy part of the CC kit. All the armor parts are light and don't mess with the figure.
