OK, people...I'm getting my ass kicked getting her back into alt mode. Everything seems to be in place except the back end of the roof won't settle in place. What am I doing wrong??

 

Here is my review for Athena...pretty good figure overall.

 

Same problem here... what's happen?

Very nice review bud! I love so much this figure, but i still have some problems, like yours, like fit in the driver or keep in position the car door on the legs back. But, very nice in alt and robot mode  

 

She is fiddly isn't she. I had the same frustration first time putting her back to car mode too. Just need to spread the rear side panels so that the roof can fit on.

1. The trunk panel will keep popping up as well.
2. Sometimes the 4 wheels won't be level, and so some slight twisting of the chassis is needed, after which point #1 above will happen again.
3. Some pressing down on the driver "seat" (upper robot torso) is needed to fit the driver in, after that the under carriage might not have enough clearance to roll, so more prodding around of the undercarriage, during which points #1 and #2 will recur again.

But once you get the hang of her, I'd say the design is eye catching and the articulation is fun. I paid the equivalent of US$48 (after some discount), so it's not a bad purchase.

 

Yep, i'm totally agree with your opinion, i have same "issues", but 50€ it's a good price for this type of figure  

 

So good and bad news. Headmasters in, Headmasters no come out. Luckily, the smaller head popped out of the ball joint hole and didn't snap off but just means I get to play surgeon one day when I really want to separate the too.

 

Probably can't tell from the pictures, but the shoulder on mine keeps popping away from the black panel, leaving a little loose (but so far not floppy). There's no screw holding it. Any idea how to tighten it?

@Nemesis Compactor not so clear that issue is

 

In the first pic, see how there's a bit of space between the red shoulder piece and the black panel the arm attached too? The whole arm keeps pulling away from the black a panel just slightly making that space and making her shoulder rotation just a little looser.

Arrived last Friday from Taobao seller in China.

 

Got her in today. Overall, a good figure that's a good representation of the character. A little tricky in places and tolerances seems tight. I like the transformation once you get used to it. The places to store the weapons and helmet in alt mode work well.

I'm worried the headmaster will get stuck in the body one day. There's lots of potential breakage places if you aren't careful, especially transforming the legs.

 

Why is BBTS seemingly the only place that doesn’t have her in yet?

 

I have a similar problem. I tried fixing the trunk piece first and wrapping my hands all around the car and lightly pushing everything into place, then tabbing the spoiler in.

Somewhat works as moving it may loosen it. Might be a QC issue.

 

The thing is, it wasn't doing it before I transformed it for the first time. That's what has me baffled. But I cant think of anything I'm doing wrong.

 

Fans Hobby has a 2nd Production Run Pre-order up for her on their site, back to that original pre-order price.
Have to decide if I'm gonna pass again. She looks good - but good enough? Oh the decisions!

 

TL;DR version. He does not like it. No paint, loose joints and hates the feel (light, cheap plastic).

But when Jiangxing Winged Dragon had all paint, tight joints and heft...
