    One minor complaint is that i'd like the tailights to be able to rotate 180 so that they wont show in bot mode

    TFS-Express says he’s held at the border. They need to see his papers!

    :(

    People will see what they want to see. Just wait til this figure is in more hands and you have professional like photos posted. Perceptions will change. Bigger issue at hand is that he doesn't suffer from any glaring QC issues.

    Also weird that FT went back to their double styrofoam packaging.

    That's probably left for "Leader sized" MP's?


    But yeah, I really like that style better.

    I haven't had any word yet from TFs express about mine- was that a blanket he's (along with his entire shipment of doppler-gangers (I.e everyone's from tfs express)) or just specifically your version alone is stuck at border control? (Customs?)

    Thanks

    Just checked their website and he hasn't shipped yet for me at least, is that the same for everyone else?

    He looks really good to me. I'm not in on these FT Stunticons because the combined mode is so far unseen and probably going to introduce parts that serve no purpose in other modes, but damn is this one making me want it regardless. Love that alt mode. Best looking G1 Breakdown I've seen so far.

    I tried but I "Think" this is proper height. Look at the pic as a comparison next to DX9's Wildrider also.
    If you see the 2nd Pic, I looked for any possible extensions that could give the DX9 version more height but none, it seems.

    I think you dont have the hips on the DX9 extended...In order to do that you need to pull the hip joints down from the waist
