    Missing screws? Can't you find any replacement ones from a hardware store and add it in, or ask for a replacement Hydra if you can from your provider.

    Some instruction bookets are horrible and you have to watch other reviews on Youtube to understand it.

    Up/down or side to side? Maybe we’re talking about two different things. Take a photo of your ankle doing 45 degree side to side.

    Hydra looks great, but is he really worth the cost over, say, DX9 Hanzo? Hanzo looks good in bot and wolf modes (the two I'm actually bothered about), plus his green version (which I prefer) is a hell of a lot cheaper on eBay.

    he is one hell of a package at good price. if you went as far as custom paint him in exact deco as hydra , let's see where does hydra sit. Diecast is overrated

    For display, go for Hydra. He's unbeatable on that field. For messing around with...pretty much every other version will do better. Hydra's transformation is pretty intuitive, but the tolerances are tight--he requires a spudger to pop open his arms and even then it still requires a pretty significant amount of force which could lead to breakage. The articulation is not great on him either, but he sure looks pretty. The legs on Hydra are poorly designed in general, I'd like to see Fans Toys put out a new simpler set to improve him.

    See, that's one of the things that's putting me off Hydra. I'm so sick of Fans Toys figures being a bloody nightmare to transform, that I'd rather go for an 'inferior' version if it means I can mess around with it without being terrified of breaking something.

    To be fair, I think wolf mode is the only mode that's a problem to transform into because of the weird way they decided to do the leg transformation for that mode. Everything else is simple enough, as Sixshot's modes were never that complex to begin with.

    It kinda sucks cause Hydra looks amazing but isnt super fun to transform whereas Hanzo has a more enjoyable transformation but every single mode except robot looks horrible

    Gotta say @Phamduc photo of Hanzo looks pretty fantastic. Guess I’ll be checking out some YT vids of it in the other modes.

    I’m only interested in bot and wolf modes ... @Destructimis Prime photos of Hydra’s wolf mode look really nice as well.
