    It is a V2, The hips are actually decent. I contacted TFSafari about potential replacement parts but I think I might be SOL.

    It's the Honey Badger Megatron but it's a 1:1 KO so works just the same.
    Megatrons head comes to the top of Shockwaves' bicep.

    I was messing with wheelie and brains this weekend and really wishing they’d been upscaled to go with shockwave as well. They would have actually been a manageable size.

    You can convince yourself by accepting the scale that he is 40 feet like me. There is an article that says he is about 40ft before the film released. Also, in the game he towers over Megs.

    If u get the WJ megs he scales a lot better with other 3rd Party mpms, the official size of MPMS are kinda off

    the scale charts translate ft to cm

    Another one bites the dust. Hips moved just fine out of the box. Noticed big cracks on the right hip housing so I suspect it was glued. The left one unfolded no problem and I tried pushing the right one open from the inside but it wouldn't budge. I pulled with the force of a mouse and the leg immediately disconnected.

    Showz says they have the replacement part, but since the housing is glued together and won't unfold, I doubt I can fix it.

    i haven’t even attempted to fiddle with mine till the replacement parts come in. Told showz to send it cause the hips on mine are very fragile and wobbly.

    TFSafari got back to me with an order number "if it should happen." So... maybe?

    Just fiddling with my one-armed purple people eater in the meantime.

    I am hoping that mine arrives tomorrow. I am nervous that it will be a V1 and/or it will be broken upon arrival. Either way, I should be able to confirm if Baba does indeed have the V2s in stock.

    Well, I have a bit of good news and a bunch of bad news. Good news is that Baba is indeed shipping out the V2s. It looks glorious. Bad news is that the box arrived completely destroyed and the figure was broken upon arrival.

    Mine was broken in the same spot. Left arm was completely sheered off. Hopefully, this isn’t a widespread issue.

    Anybody have any experience with Baba customer service? I am hoping that they can send me a new arm or something.
