    Amazing! This single handedly solved my biggest issue with the figure. Any frontal shots with the angled chest?

    Baba for me has quit. Prices on his website are sometimes even more than his own shop on ebay. Now even Showz (which was no more "cheap" since long time ago) has prices lower than Baba

    Does it look like the die-cast on his thighs can be removed so they can be properly primed and painted?

    Man, you can just edit your post :) 
    Anyway, really appreciate your photos. I think I will not cancel it and see what I will get.

    And does anyone know any coating to protect those diecast thigh paints from chipping?

    I found some, but they said for plastics, so I'm not sure if it's ok for those diecast parts? Sorry I haven't got any experience with these painting and coating. :)

    I have not actually seen any clearcoat specifically for plastic before but I wager is works the same. Clearcoat is basically just a transparent layer of paint to protect the actual paint underneath.

    You can even use future as clearcoat actually. It is what we used to prevent the chrome from flaking on the MP27 and MP28.

    Ben released a video on em. suggests several times it feels rushed out.

    And no, he doesn't mis-transform this guy. (already know someone wants to skip the vid for that)

    Hmm I really don't mean to rag on @bababobo00712 - this is the first time they've given me a hard time. Baba is the first China seller I took a chance on 4 years ago and has always been top-notch. As for prices the past few months I've price-shopped a lot of items between baba's website and Show-Z and found baba to be the same or less, maybe we are looking at different items. But enough people on the forums were saying Show-Z's shipping was taking like 2 months, while I was getting stuff from baba in 2 weeks, so I have continued to give them my business.

    But, even now the listing on the website still shows a "Free shipping" option, even though the item is sold out. That's what I selected when I ordered, so that's what I should get.
