I just got mine. Haven't broken anything but this feels like a POS compared to the others. There are stress marks out of the box EVERYWHERE and the hip flaps falls off just looking at them. It looks decent but the whole plastic feels really bad and flimsy. If I wasn't so careful I DEFINITELY would have broken something. One of the tail nozzles came off and luckily they plug in but I noticed even that and the foot hinge where it screws in had horrible stress marks. I got the Meteor wings and haven't tried them yet but I am so pissed at this right now. I will feel better about it after I transform it back and test the wing backs. I just want the last two to come out and Grandmein and Wiseblast so I can be done with this company. It is so obvious to me they are just mailing it in now.

 

Has anyone else had these dilemmas?

 

Mine feels pretty much like the first three. I know there were some horror stories with QC on Sunstorm and I do have the extra paint over parts of the wing connectors to hide possible stress marks, but the wings aren't floppy (or again, not any different from the first three). I think the waist on mine feels a little less sturdy, but he doesn't have any problems staying where I put him.

 

Mine is fine. Two stress marks, but not bad. A little heat and they mostly vanished.

 

Naw, that's how all the MakeToys seekers feel.  

I'd rather Fans Toys does all four Autobot wave1 headmasters so we get articulated fingers and better overall materials.

 

Mine’s fine. The head pops off a little too easily during transformation but I’m ok with that.

 

Mine is the same as the first 3. Plastic feel a tad thin here and there but no real problems to speak of.

 

Equally my copy is fine. In fact I feel it's better than their Lightening (Thundercracker) with the blue plastic in that one feeling oddly cheaper than the rest. I didn't notice any stress marks. The head fit is tight and popping off at first but a few times it transforms and fits well (early test shot at least in Peaugh's vid did not fit well).

Oh and a few pages back someone had questions of if the wing fillers for Meteor needed glue - it does use adhesive tape pieces to keep the wings which are included in the box/baggie

 

I'll toss in my 2 cents - as many have said, he feels cheap and there's some QC issues. That said, he LOOKS better than the MP versions to my eye, and the engineering seems substantially better, insofar as he's not the same janky, floptastic mess that the TT MP seeker mold is.

So it's kinda like trading one set of problems for a whole new set of problems. I'm mostly a display and shelve guy though, so it doesn't hurt me overmuch. If you're a handler, prepare to be kinda disappointed.

 

One of the little flaps at the base of the wings that flips down snapped around the pin the first time I moved it. Feels like the pin was too large or the hole was too small, I can get the thing to stay on still even after it's snapped, that's how tight it is. I definitely see some stress marks when I try to insert the weapons into the wings, I'm debating whether I want to file down the pins on the weapons a bit or just hair dryer the wings.

 

Decided to do the same type of color matched paint apps like I did for Maketoys Skywarp and Thundercracker. Paint used is attached. It's a perfect shade too!

Cool
How do you prevent chipping

 

I only painted the outsides and along the seams... No paint chipping whatsoever! =)

- Gregg

 

Thanks
So those painted parts don’t rub against anything else?

 

Nope. =)

 

Nice
So what would you do if they did?

 

Repaint and be very careful... I didn't paint the whole parts... Just the tops... Absolutely no worry of rubbing.

Ah gotcha

 

Finally opened Endgame today and... wow, he’s the WORST of the Seekers (I’ve owned (at some point) all of them). I mean he’s alright, but the tolerances are awful and I got stress marks from just plugging in the null-rays. Oh well, he’s a good Dirge.

 

Man I guess I got lucky with mine. No problems except a little glue residue around the knee pads which was easily fixable. Hope we get some news on the other two soon.
