    For the last 20 years of collecting transformers I've always wanted a Black Convoy but didn't want get just a black repainted of MP-10 or pay for the after market price for him.

    The Fans Hobby made a MP style Scourge from "classic" TF RiD and he is awesome. Good paint job and pretty hefty because of the die-cast and at that price point pretty much said to me "I'm your Black Convoy....BUY ME!!!!"

    I don't mind the head not being toon accurate but I'm sadden that Archenemy only comes with his "Sword of FURY!" but that's why I'm getting the trailer because of the new stuff that Archenemy will get....

    This guy is worth it!!!

    Yup, I'm excited to get that trailer, and isn't it getting a new head to go along with the gun and the trailer as well?


    I seem to remember that it is.


    edit: Yup, looks like it. :D

    I have Archenemy in my stack right now. Thinking about getting Gunfighter as well. If I do, I'm probably in on the trailer for Archenemy, but I'm probably not buying both.

    Hey I just got my MB-04 and It has an issue with one of the hipjoints. I know some people had issues with the shoulder of MB-01 and I was wondering how you guys resolved the issue with FansHobby. I replied to my order confirmation email and sent some pics of the problem, just wondered if anyone else who's gone through this has any tips?
    Thanks!

    Just ordered Archenemy via today's 15% off sale.
    Put in code 171111 at checkout. Deal only lasts while it's November 11th in Hong Kong.

    Is there any way to lock archenemy's (or gunfighter') ab crunch in place? The backpack is so heavy that his chest keeps pivoting back. I have the same issue on both archenemy or gunfighter so I assume there must be something I am missing.

    By the way, Tfsource's current sale of $90 for either archenemy or Gunfighter is a hell of a deal. These guys are massive and have such great shelf presence.

    Mine, ordered directly from FansHobby, arrived today.
    Dang it, it’s pretty.
    I wish I had only paid $89 for it, but I still love it.

    Wasn't feeling this guy when he was first released but am now. Will pick up after the holidays.

    Fans Hobby's stuff has a certain charm and fun factor that some other company with a similar name used to have. You could say the other company made a project of making their figures fun, for the fans.

    I'm still hoping that when this guy's trailer gets released, he'll get a reissued figure with the G2 Prime's upgraded vehicle mode bits.

    I finally got this guy now that Fans Hobby will be coming out with a trailer for him. And he is AWESOME! I love Fans Hobby! Solid releases, every single one of them so far. I love their Gunfighter II, and Archenemy did not disappoint. Solid, well made, great details, great paint apps, great articulation and ratchets, and great quality all around. Very cool!

    MB- 01 Archenemy: A
    MB-02 Megatooth: N/A (Don't have yet)
    MB-03 Feilong: B+
    MB-04 Gunfighter II: A+
    MB-05 Flypro: A-
    MB-06 Power baser: N/A
    MB-07 ???: N/A
    MB-08 ???: N/A
    MB-09A/B Trailer: N/A

    I have Megatooth and is great. I was missing a part for Feilong but they sent it and I think he is great as well. Power Baser is a little husky but a great figure. Don't have Gunfighter II because of overlap but will definitely get the trailer, Godbomber, and probably Doublevil even though I love Carnifex. I guess if I got Gunfighter II massively on sale I would double dip on that mold.

    Did Arch Enemy come with a collector's card? I recently traded mine and the newer owner is asking if there was a card since Gunfighter came with one too.
