Excellent. The only thing that could make this better is Berserk. Can't wait to see those two intimidating some autobot wimp.

 

Me too. Also noice.

 

I have both. The original I keep in robot mode because of the paint damage issues that come with transformation. The newer one is in alt mode.

 

Is there a link/video instructions as to how to apply those?

TIA

 

Right? Looks fiddly AF. I hate when figures have armatures galore. It's like a set of Legos all connected by a string or something.

On the bright side, the back looked to clean up pretty well.

I think you can find one on youtube, but all you do is cut out a symbol so you have it on the paper by itself, throw it in a bowl of water for 20 seconds or so till the symbol separates from the backing paper...then pull it out of the water, put it on your figure, and line it up...then let it dry. I usually use a q-tip and toothpick as tools. Pressing on the symbol when it's in place to get the excess water off can be helpful, too, but you run the risk of the symbol moving...

You get the hang of it pretty quick , though, and they look great. Also pretty hard to mess up. Worst case, you have to throw out a symbol and start over.

 

thanks bro!!

 

Yes I noticed the "threaded pins" and thought it was really odd. What you'd expect is a smooth pin to move the pieces up and down but the thread just catches the plastic so over time that's bound to wear down. I'd suggest just being careful sliding it with minimal force. It's not the end of the world, just strange design and may post future issues as he noted.

Honestly isn't so bad, all of the loose bits at least for the most part clean up well and don't feel so flimsy that they'll snap or anything. Jabber for example feels way worse in that regard. The exception being the parts that come up against his lower leg, just really wish that they had managed to find a way to secure those down in bot mode. Owel, doesn't detract much from a great figure IMHO.

 

Where can I get that insignia?

 

Wish I knew, Reddit pic was trying to look for poster of to give the credit!

 

@Destructimis Prime (I think?)

 

Triple noice

 

Closest I could find are these. I'd say check Uncle Billy's site and see if he has more. I bought mine through his eBay but he's got jack squat on there now.

 

you can also us a setter and softer to make sure it survives

 

Got an odd e-mail from TCP. They said that Thomas came in, and U could check the payment status. I was not charged yet, so I paid for it manually. Anyone else get that e-mail? I hope they have enough to cover PO's.

 

1) I know this may sound strange at first, but wet is good, a wet surface means you can position the decal to your hearts content. Take your time, if it's wet, it's good.

2) Once you are happy with where it's going to be, carefully press it to the surface using a q tip while removing the excess water with another.

 

Yeah i saw those but the eyes are larger on the quietus

 

That's what she said...  

All jokes aside, appreciate the link to the video, Goos! Definitely gonna have to go back to this once I get off my ass and get some Mark Setter & Softer, haha.

 

Was that an initial preorder or from the restock they got the other day?

 

This is what you get once you get the hang of it.

 

Yep, these things can come out noice


Haven't got round to doing Hunk yet!
