So I wasn't originally planning to get the FOC UM, but I am really happy I did. I am in love with the fact that his weapons can combine. Oddly enough, it doesn't show how do do it in the instructions. It only shows how to take the sword apart! After fumbling around with it, I dug up the original promo pic, and sure enough the weapons were combined in it. Anyway, the pieces actually snap together very solidly. I have attached comparison pics to demontrate how each looks. I totally recommend UM, if only for his weapons! I should haveadded this before, but here are the steps to combine the weapons. (Since it's not in the instructions.) Sorry if it isn't exactly clear, but the sword is molded to fit and snap into the weapons, so it should be pretty apparent how it fits if you get the pieces close to how they are in the pics.
This wave with U.M. have fantastic weapons. HASBRO, release a weapons pack! Doubt it'll happen but eh.
Looks great. I have him on the way, and am most excited about him for the upgrade set. I hope its release isn't too far away!
