    I bought the v1 and was blown away by the articulation. So much so that I bought the SG version. While SG was cool, I guess because I knew what I was getting I wasn't actually that impressed anymore.

    I'm good for now on this mold. Not really sure why the need for g1 colored v2 but it's nice more ppl can get a try at this mold.

    Optus Nox came with a piece so you could mount the sword on the back. Although we haven’t seen that piece with this figure yet, we can’t rule it out.
    The axe has no mount.

    TL;DR sword maybe, axe no

    Not sure, but IIRC as Orion Pax he mentioned that his twin arm guns didn't actually work. So that would only be two guns.

    And an axe and a sword don't count for Firepower -- which was likely the reason G1 Snarl had a firepower of 1, since Budiansky likely only saw the boxart of a pic where he only had a sword.

    I wish this came with an Orian Pax-inspired head sculpt. That would be an instant purchase for me.

    Original is based on Alex Milne’s design from Chaos Theory (2011), the second one is based on Don Figueroa’s design from Stormbringer (2006) which was the origin of this design and also the better version

    It's not a literal reference to how many guns he has.

    Wait, do people think this number is related to the amount of guns?

    Wait…..the made up number for the made up character about his made up firepower DOESN’T have anything to do with the made up amount of made up guns he comes with!?

    I wish you could see my made up fury!

    I don't know if this has been asked before. What is the bonus part from Planet steel express?

    His collector card adds 3 points of speed, so he goes from a 6 to a 9

    But in all honesty idek, PSX doesn't list anything additional compared to ShowZ

    It was mentioned really early on, but this run has a second head that is based off of the Stormbringer comics, though I don't know if it is a first run or a preorder bonus (it's limited either way.) similar to the painted Optus Pexus.

    Edit: it's a first run! Don't know of any preorder bonuses, then.

    Secondary edit: there apparently *is* a preorder bonus from PSX?

    I've never ordered from PSX, can anyone shed some light on them for me? Do they have some type of partnership with MMC? What kind of experience have any of you had with them? Just curious. Thanks!
