    Yip, it takes on average 2 years, sometimes 3 if there is a set back. Meanwhile, I want this now!!!! Tesla 2.0 and Acoustic Wave look great so far.

    Well, at least I'll get some use out of him before the upgrade. Mumble grumble etc.

    Tao Bao? I’ll probably lock it in when the regular places put it up.

    Given his bland altmode, this toy seems like a prime candidate for gimmicks. Unfortunately nothing comes to mind... was the original toy an actual working microscope? Maybe a magnifying glass?
    Not that I’d want that here... just thinking out loud.

    Hopefully none, they either add cost or complexity that translates into compromises to the look or the transformation, and I'd rather not pay more for either of those. It's Fans Toys so it just needs to look good on the shelf and the render already seems to indicate it'll do that much.

    Looks perfect to me. I don't understand why they decided to make version 1 so broad-chested. He's a scientist, not a warrior.

    Never liked the microscope mode anyway. Bot mode looks excellent along with 3 faces. Cant wait to see articulation

    There is a microscope mode! Images were shown of it in the 3rd party panel, they just aren't pictured here.

    20200322_174947.jpg Is this a hinge that rotates upward so we can get microscope?
