    I understand what the stats for both of the figures are. But I share the sentiment of the first thing that I was quoting. We would like to see both of the Wei Jiang commanders in a pic together. Especially since they are both from black apple. M01 Commander the one that started the oversized movie masterpiece craze and Thunder Commander the pinnacle of black apples efforts so far. A Wei Jiang evolution of prime shot or 2

    P sure the Ironhide is the pinnacle of his work, cause that shit can store both his cannons and his guns. But I digress

    I also wanna see if the new buttflap has increased this guy's possibility, cause I think one of my main concerns with the poseability was that the waist wasn't shown to be turning to well in the pictures shown. And lichlute's video didn't showcase articulation

    Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't this figure store all of his weapons? Both blades and guns?

    That's an easy fix. I was going to use some pieces from a model kit runner has tabs then super glue gun to a out-of-the-way place in both vehicle and robot mode so that they can store in robot mode on his back. Very similar to the mod for the original MPM-4 to clean up his back area. I just need to get to figure in my hands so I can study where to put tabs and I'll post on radicons when I'm done.

    And with all those hinges and long struts that the guns have I'm surprised there isn't a way to integrate them into the robot mode

    I personally think it's a valid complaint. This guy is perfect in almost every sense except for that, and it's pretty glaring. For example, his headache rack in truck mode is actually the wrong size and shape, but I'm giving that a pass because it's not a huge deal for me. But those abs are front and center in bot mode. Say what you want, but it doesn't look right, and that sucks.

    It doesn’t bother me to be honest, I am more mad about the friction joints this figure has...

    It's fine, we all have different sensibilities.

    Agreed. To each there own. One thing I'm sure we can all agree on is that, despite the potential short comings and nitpicks we have about the figure, we are all stoked to finally get it.

    I can't quite tell in the pictures, but does this guy have individually articulated fingers?

    from both reviews and all the photos it looks like he does.

    i’m sure all of you can agree that the main problem with this guy is that he’s not released yet!

    Seeing this figure makes me sad for some of his designs that will never see the light of day like his dotm megs. Hopefully someone will take a shot at the ss leader and bring it to this level. If anyone knows of a dotm Meg's in the works, post a link whydontya

    The last one we saw was TF Dream Factory's version, but that's seemingly DOA.

    They do! It's just that the way they transformed him for these pictures, they left his chest pieces untabbed, resulting in them sitting too high and giving him a sunken head look. I think this is what @Actar pointed out a few pages ago as well.

    It looks like the abs might be able to be transformed this way while tabbing in the chest pieces properly as well.

    No one on this board has one in hand yet so no way to tell for sure for now.
