    Neat. Some of those backpack maneuvers look scary though. I was right about how the head/face works and you can take off the Feral Rex handle. Wish the barrel could transform from where it rests on the back instead of parts forming for alt mode though.

    Looks similar to Azalea - Crazy articulation but a barely there alt mode. I doubt many people will keep him as a rifle.

    I want to see someone put a 'good cop' face on the alt head - Lego style.

    Actually now that you mention it Azalea is striking similar in regards to design priorities. The elbow joints even look like the same mechanism on both. I admit I don't think the rifle is as cohesive as I would have liked, but it much looks better than I thought. Still don't like the milk/grey plastic they used but I'll get over it.

    For keeping him in gun mode...I think it comes down to who can even look natural holding him like that. Most voyagers are going to have a tough time, so leader size and combiners are probably the only good display options.

    Glad they reopened the preorders, jumped on that shit. He looks a little fragile in that review, but I'm excited to own him

    My favorite Japanese reviewer. I only know a little about Japanese language, but I like his sarcasm i.e. the usage of children clapping, etc.

    Checked my tracking, looks like they sent it out yesterday and had printed the label earlier last week. So looking forward to getting this guy in hand.

    For some reason i'm having a rough time justifying over $100 canadian for a figure the size of a deluxe.

    I know it's Vos, it's DJD, but...gah.

    Preordered. First time from PSX as well. The way I see it, I'm a fan of MMC. Any little thing that I can do to support them means a little bit more that they can invest in new products - even if it's a drop in the ocean .

    Someone really needs to make a non-transforming version of Vos in gun mode properly scaled to deluxe-to-voyager-sized figures.

    Just over $90 for anyone who springs for EMS is also still pretty good if you're the impatient type like me.

    This is fkng ridiculous - got a tracking number and ship note on the 8th,

    (Finally) showed up on HK's post tracking site, saying it will 'be expected to ship' on the 15th!?!

    I've shipped stuff via HK before, and I'm used to delays, but this seems overly long for a small package..... Gah!

    I feel you. Our weak dollar has put a real damper in my 3rd party collecting.

    I think the message on the USPS site looks like that but it means it was actually tendered to the USPS on that day (meaning they took posession). My experience is that USPS doesn't get tracking information for Registered until it comes into the country. The fact its showing up at all probably means it is in the US and will be into Customs and then out to delivery soon.

    I know the feeling as well. Weak Aussie dollar has stopped me from going all in into Combiner Wars. It shouldn't cost a lot to ship something from HK to AUS, but it always seems to.
