    No diecast any where but I wasn't under the impression the original toy had diecast parts either.

    So my order arrived extremely well packed, which is a good thing considering the beating the box took in transit from China.

    Only issue I'm having with this magnificent mold is placing the gun in either hand. The peg is apparently too large. I'd hate to have to break out the Dremel!

    Any one else having this problem?

    I'm pretty sure owning that headmasters set is a good idea.

    Same here, after the first time it was fine. Little bit molding flash on inside the fists.

    I've noticed (what I would consider to be) an improvement made from the original toy. Headmaster 1987 reversed the black leg hinges positioning the screws in back instead of front. This could probably be fixed, but I think it actually looks better!

    Picked mine up today!!

    Not sure if I'm the only one, but the pegs on the gun seem slightly too big to fit in the hands and the stickers weren't "cut" perfectly on mine.

    Overall still very happy :)

    Same here. Still haven't gotten the gun into his hands. Some of the stickers are going to need some X-acto love.

    And in regards to Fracas, he DOES NOT fit into the regular Scourge hands, only the Targetmaster version

    I've gotten my guns to fit. It seems as if you have to hold the arm up against something firm like a wooden table and then push straight down with a gun.

    yeah the first one, two or so times will be a bit hard but after that it will fit nicely.

    I got mine yesterday, and had the same issue. The gun is very hard to fit into the hand and into the rear in shuttle mode. I had to really push the two rear halves together to get them to fit.

    I thought that was true of the original as well. The original Scourge's gun is 3mm, I think, as opposed to, everything else which is 5 mm.

    Yeah, but someone posted upthread that this one might have been the "two widths" posts that the reissues had, and I just wanted to confirm that it's only the target master version size
