    Put him closer to the corner and you'd look right past him.

    That's pretty funny. "Nothing to see here but us hanging window sheets..."

    He doesn't blend in quite so well.

    Just got this guy in today, and holy shit do I love him. Pulled off the masked face first thing after I assembled him, and the second I did it was the exact same feeling I got when I opened the RID 2001 figure on vacation to visit my dying grandfather. A great 30th birthday gift! The plastic does feel a little more fragile than some things, but since I've yet to hear of many breaking this guy I'm going to go ahead and chock it up to how intricate of a sculpt he has. I'm just wowed by this thing. The ratchets on the legs seem great, but the wings are a tad loose in a way that doesn't really effect much.

    This dude is freaking awesome! I passed on mega doragon hoping they’d do a cryotek (plus I got fans hobby mb-03a so megatron and cryotek would have different figures) and I’m really glad I did. Wreckers was one of my favorite 3h botcon storylines and having this guy plus my completed wreckers team is 15 year old me’s dream come true. Now I just need to source botcon 02 Cyclonus and a quintesson. Also gotta say I love the two face masks, the one on the dragon head looks especially cool

    anyone else feel like some of the joints are a little weaker on this release? Like, one of the dragon claws seems a little floppy & I haven't even transformed him fully yet...

    My copy's hips aren't as good as I'd thought upon first opening him up, but the wings make for a decent enough tripod. QC's about what I was expecting:
    • Hip ratchets bow under weight of wings
    • tail piece pops off at random
    • wings are a little loose
    The plastic is better than I'd feared, but not quite up their with companies like MMC or FT in terms of "feel." Only time will tell if it's brittle, but it feels sturdy enough. Overall, he's great, I really have few complaints. Despite knowing his size going in, I was surprised at how huge the dragon mode is compared to the bot mode--it's absolutely amazing.

    It's worse than MegaDoragon? Was hoping it'd be tweaked/better. :(

    Ah, unfortunately none of the old deployers are intended to be held, they are more stationary weapon emplacements
