    The pictures they've shown so far of their God Bomber don't feature that chrome thigh piece, so it seems like you'll get your wish.

    Got mine today and struggling to process just how great it is. Going away tomorrow for a couple of days but when I get back I am going to take so many photos of this guy.

    It's a shame about all the missing pieces. Having said that, if any company will take care of their customers it's maketoys.

    Fiddled with combined mode last night Nd experienced it as well

    i believe gluing it will obviously keep it attached

    However

    I wonder if it wasnt DESIGNED to pop off, instwad of potentially breaking

    The attachment from grey to armor is pretty strong from when i tried to pull them apart after the grey piece detatched

    The grey piece, once detatched from the leg, can actually slide off the armor so theres no “snap” from simplying pulling them apart. Less stress on plastic

    Can anyone snap a pic of this guy with Carnifex? And for those that were able to get through it, is Overlord typically taller than God Ginrai?

    You want a scale comparison from the series that has a gestalt-sized DoubleDealer?

    no way it was designed to pop off. one of the hook bits on the gray peg for the left leg actually broke. I can put it back in the leg and it won't fall by itself, but it's not in there tight anymore.

    The peg on my right leg comes out as well but luckily it didn't break. But it tends to pop out as well whenever i unplug the armor mode heel from it.

    Again, if u look at the hooks on the gray piece, this is definitely NOT designed to come off. it's meant to stay in the leg while the armor is meant to be pushed in and out by force.

    Also I've noticed the godbomber chest armor isn't chromed like the thigh armor pieces, it's just painted in silver. Is everyone's the same? It's a bit hard to tell from pictures.

    It does affect forward motion, it’s mostly the crotch piece that does it, the flaps don’t articulate

    That’s the farthest I can get it fully combined


    It’s absolutely chromed, it’s just a different finish, ie not a mirror finish
