    He great but his size is weird for display he’s like halfway between a large bot and a combiner, so just finding a spot for him is the trick

    He's spot on for MP. Sunbow chart shows him perfect with Constructor and Prime. He's too tall for CW/UW Devastator, but then he's too short for scale for a combiner really.

    Haha don’t get me wrong I’m not saying he’s too big, he’s just right. He’s just the only character that height so shelf-wise I have to keep him with Omega and Devastator cause he won’t fit anywhere else.

    He’s great! Check his thread, I don’t think anyone has been disappointed.

    Gabriel is worth the pre-order price he is going for at BBTS. I would have paid full price for this guy. I love his aesthetics more the FT-20

    Phoenix is a great piece. People dont like him because no waist swivel. It is a small price to pay for a figure as great as he is.

    I think FT-20 looks better than Gabriel and the claw is better articulated. If it wasn't for the recent reports of breakages on FT-20, I'd say it's perfect. The best thing about Gabriel is its announcement helped reduce the pre-order price of FT-20.

    Dx9 Gabriel hands down my MP Omega Supreme.

    Regret buying Phoenix? No. Best current MP representation there is. Are there things I want different? Yes.

    Personal preference I think. I watched loads of videos, including comparison ones and standalone, and decided that Gabriel was right for me. Others will do the same and conclude that Terminus is theirs. Each to their own

    You think? :)  Of course it is. The opinion wasn't offered as anything other than an opinion after others gave theirs. No need to feel defensive, you weren't quoted or addressed by it. ;)

    I don't regret Phoenix but he is mediocre. The face isn't quit right and his stupid waist swivel that you need to untab just like Iceman.

    It's one of DX9's better figures and that's an excellent price.

    It is. I had omega as a kid but no connection with the character per se. Jetfire was the shit for me though. Toy and toon
