    There's literally pictures of the figure on the last page with a not-screaming optional face that's included.

    I am thinking in getting the gravity builder jinbao version, since it seems the best version so far, solid, stable, no breaking issues. Is there any cons on that figure or something that should be taken into account before getting that version?

    I will also get the upgrade kit version, which seems to be totally complete in ebay for around 130 dollars (full devastator + kit) and I want also ask if that is the regular price for jinbao version or could be some kind of "cheaper KO".

    Regards.

    My NBK is decent buf for head and better stability now I want to buy Jinbao or Daban.
    Here's my question: if I want a stable Devastator that doesn't fall and I keep his back against the wall,Daban is better than OS Jinbao?Or there is no difference?I plan to keep him with simple poses as you noticed and don't plan to transform him to bot modes.

    I couldn't actually get in contact with Daban over replacement parts, no reply after a month or two.

    My long haul fix is holding up, but it's so hard to get a replacement figure anywhere!

    What did you have to do to get it to fit? I definitely want to replace hook. Would also get a longhaul if it would just be easier than modification.

    What if I replaced both hook and longhaul with daban, could I just reuse the nbk limbs?

    (edit) searched back further and got the answer to that one. arms fit and some leg sanding required.

    Would Daban longhaul with nbk legs be compatible with the gen toys upgrade?

    Guess Ill find out myself. Ordered Daban Longhaul and Hook and the GT upgrade kit. Cost about 63 USD before shipping for those. Funny thing is, for 17 dollars more I could have had the Jinbao dev and upgrade kit before shipping.

    I just think NBK with the leg upgrades will scale better next to Jinbao Rex and Bruticus as Opposed to Jinbao Dev with upgrades towering them some in height and girth. Looks better with the upgraded legs so its a must have imo. Still may get the Jinbao for that price sooner than later. Just have no space for it and DabaNBK.
