    Yep. His bot mode is impressive. It's his alt mode that leaves lacking ...

    The photo editing and the scenery look really good. Personally, I thought he looks better with the original head/face sculpt than the CW head.
    Yeah, both the white robot cab and armor robot look very impressive! He's one of my most favorite Armor UMagnus in display.
    As for the alt.mode, although it doesn't bother me that much, I never got a chance to complete his transformation. For some reasons, I have a hard time interlocking that T shape peg on his bumper together. It does not want to peg in. I think, I need to shave it down. In addition to that, I am not a fan of the transformation of that Prime/Magnus mold especially rotating the feet into the leg. Every transformation feels too stiff I like am going to break something. So for Apollo, he'll always be in robot mode.

    Man, I really wish the inner robot had been colored to match the armor. I would have no issue with this release if it had been. Trying to paint it myself would be tempting if I had the skills...

    What the hell is up with their website, is it loading for anyone?

    edit: apparently my order went through, despite the website giving me an error and not loading a confirmation page

    I am gonna bet this will be available later through Chinese retailers. If not, then I have saved some money.

    Wow, I think the stock head looks fine, but that CW UM head looks fantastic on the figure!

    Thanks guys! :) absolutely, not dissing the stock head folks, i just wanted that look for my troops!:D  I personally really like it but my season 3 crew is a real bastardised mishmash in any case.

    Covered in paint
    Inner robot metallic blue / my pics dont do the paint justice
    Be careful some joints /tolerances stiff from paint / be extra careful pulling hammer handle down first time, very very tight

    I am just down on the price. 100 bucks, and I'll get this. 130 is a bit much.

    Me as well. Much as I love it, I couldn’t convince myself to spend twice as much as i could get the original deco for. So I got that instead, even though I much prefer the exclusive colors.

    Fair enough. I didn’t own the original and my collection is starting to lean more towards MP/3P and I want some exclusive pieces so I didn’t mind the price.

    If I got the original I’d probably pass too.

    Digibash Request:

    Got a good deal on the original Apollo + Charon so now I'm looking for a good color palette for the armor so that I can add it to Charon for a powered-up Nemesis look.
