    I really like the Toyhax Decepticon labels, myself. Previously, I'd used the clear logos which were included in the OS Jinbao Constructicons set because they were peel-and-press labels, but these are so nice-looking.

    Aside from the stuff for Quietus, I also finally received a movie Megatron figure out of the three I have ordered. Trying to get some photos up in a minute.

    Looks great! What insignia did you use? Looks like a waterslide.

    I really need to get some of these. My guys are faction label-less at the moment. They look so good I just don’t trust myself to do a good job

    I go with regular non-toon white outline decals myself- just my preference as I like the way they look.

    Well, the price is insane, so....



    Lots of cancellations from people coming to their senses, mine included.

    Reporting in QC-33 and arms are not loose. Just got the bot right now.

    Not going to lie the included stand and $240 price is what made pushed my to buy it. I was waiting for the X-trans version instead.

    Isn't it pretty much the original preorder price?

    It was originally $170. This reissue added a $100 FT tax.

    I fail to see $100 worth of updates on this, except a bunch of QC reported issues on the arm and the cockpit not sitting flush. Oh well.

    Still looking forward to Eligos. Will keep the better bot. Now that I am sober after getting my FT boy, I like it but is it $100 better Guess I will see when I get Eligos.

    okay. I guess my thinking was that the reissue has been the same price the whole time. I didn't know you were comparing the original issue versus the reissue.

    Bombusbee came through! Finally got him! His wings are a smidge floppy, but no arm issues to report.

    I think Quietus looks better than Eligos, the latter being a MP-10 era bot suffer from some design limitations of its time.

    Quietus still beats Eligos for sure, but this new reissue Eligos definitely looks a lot better than the original if you ask me, and it's partly because of that new head and face sculpts, which on the original was the worst part of the entire figure, IMO.

    True, Eligos' body can't beat the absolute beauty of Quietus', but at the same time you probably wouldn't want to look at an ugly mug like OG Eligos'. :D

    It's always been something for me that almost even made or broke a figure. MMC OX Azalea is great, but I ended up going with MP-51 partly due to the former's more cartoony face over 51's more cartoon accurate yet more slick, and maybe even a bit more anime-like (generally speaking), which I felt was Takara's standard with MPs as of late.
