    I see it, too. looks like the front and sides of the bicep are one piece then maybe not a gap but a black piece for the elbow and maybe a transformation joint. the upper arm swivel is in a weird place as you pointed out, again, it might have to be that way for the transformation.

    Well I wouldn't expect long, Baba's store has only 28 pre-orders available (supposedly 150 in total), panic has reached one of its highest points since Thomas left. Everyone is afraid of losing a figure again in addition to the amount of rumors that exist right now about the future of Fanstoys, I pre-ordered it weeks ago.

    That's most likely a phenomenon in 3D modelling/rendering called ambient occlusion. Shadows are generated based on how close two "objects" are to one another. It makes things look nice without having to set up a complicated lighting rig, but it can have strange effects as seen in that render.

    This reminds me of the Hainan Island incident in 2001. Hainan Island incident - Wikipedia

    I served in the US Navy from 2000-2004 and worked with part of the crew from the EP-3. In April 2001, a US spy plane flying along the border of China collided with a Chinese jet. Both planes were damaged and the American plane performed an emergency landing on Hainan Island. Under normal circumstances, all the equipment should have been destroyed and the crew would have bailed out, allowing the plane to crash. However, there were not enough parachutes on board for the entire crew and they did not properly destroy the equipment. Incendiary blocks should have been used to burn through the stacks of equipment, but would have caused the plane to catch fire, burning the crew alive before the it could land. So a nearly intact US spy plane lands in China, the crew is detained, and the equipment on the plane is dissembled and reassembled before negotiations are made to return the crew and plane to the US. Nearly overnight the Chinese military catches up on approximately 20 years of information technology and collection methods.

    I don't think he said it was new, but it's certainly more recent, it's a major intel coup, the two sides are antagonists rather than allies, and it is more similar to the event David H described.
