    I'm just curious as I was gonna get the KO Bruticus and I wanted to know how the kit is? Mainly the hands and feet.

    They look great, tolerances are okay for the most part, the 5mm peg for the feet is slightly large and can cause a couple stress marks on brawl if I remember correctly.

    So, here's the thing I never see anyone state (and that I've confirmed through 3 instances of the kit)...

    The new hips have a part that is the same on both sides. It LOOKs like it's fine. It acts like it's fine, but it causes a very slight misalignment in alt mode that keeps the vehicle from locking and staying flat with the surface its on.

    Imaging looking top down at the hip joint. This is what you'd see if you compared the two parts:

    -- --
    -- __
    __ --
    -- --

    It's so slight you might not notice, maybe a millimeter or 1.25mm, but it matters enough to notice, see, and feel in alt mode. (I got the Defensor kit and noticed this. BBTS was really, really helpful in checking on it as a defect, but they saw what I was talking about and said it was in every one of them. I later bought the Baldigus kit just for the hands, feet, and head...same story.)
