    The proportions look much stockier than the colored image; the torso appears to be squat. I hope he's mistransformed 0_o

    Yeah, this...

    Don't the rules state that they can be confiscated?

    The rules are that third party items aren't for SALE, I think.

    It's not actually being sold. Didn't TFSource do this last year as well?

    Part of it is the angle, but mostly it's an early resin version of Leo Dux; you can tell that the resin isn't holding up that well and he's collapsing inwards a little. The final version will be made of actual plastic and will be much more solid.

    It looks like the test shot Talon wings are too heavy for the resin Leo Dux, making his upper torso lean backwards.

    It's also a possibility that the person who configured it in that position is also in pain too.......................which would explain a lot......

    Did they change Talon's wings? The new combined render looks like all-gold, and that looks cheap/awful. The first colored render of Talon had the perfect mix of black and gold on the wings.

    Also Bovis's accents look gold lately, should be silver. Earlier renders showed silver.

    I think this is the post he was talking about in regards to Talon's head.

    Seems the resin leo isn't handling the weight of the 4 plastic molds too well. Shame he'd look so much nicer if his stance wasn't struggling to be maintained as is.
