Context only comes from clear communication.

 

It seems crystal clear to me. The statement that he wished all deluxes could be this good preceded the "I hate when they make toys this good. It raises the bar and expectations" statement. You'd have to ignore his first post (which you replied to, so you didn't) as well as the second half of the second post. (which you also didn't, since it's included in your second reply to him) The context was all there, plain as day. The only way it isn't obvious is, well, if you isolate the singular sentence "I hate when they make figures this good" which is neither all he said nor at all obvious what he actually meant.

 

Fantastic robot and car mode but I absolutely loath the transformation. Is there a way to turn the waist without bumping to his back hinge? It just massively frustrating as I haven't finished painting him up and it has already scratched the paint.

 

Good work. Always make sure the paint is dry before you transform it. Just got some paint in too. Tons of missing orange paint in alt mode. Gonna work on it later.

 

What kind of orange paint did you use? Seems like a great color match!

 

I've had two copies of this.

The first was at the end of last year and had woefully loose hips that kept popping off. I transformed it once and then just left it because everything just turned to scrap every time he was posed or transformed.

I took a gamble on a second copy last night and I'm glad I did. This is easily the best Studio Series deluxe. With proper QC this hits all the key points for me.

- Realistic, sleek alt mode.
- Fun transformation. Too many of the SS deluxes transform by simply having a car shell ball up and turn into a cape. The way that this integrates part of the car into the arms and legs really tickles me.
- Poseable, characterful robot mode that is also solid.

This is a real winner for me.

 

Sometimes I feel a bit lucky when I get these figures. With this one I feel very lucky because it was the last brand new one at retail price on Amazon. I wonder if this'll ever be seen on toy shelves because ot seems to be selling out fast

 

I have one preordered since I had it sit in an Amazon cart for too long.

 

This figure is easily the best live action movie deluxe from the SS line. Easily in the top 5 movie deluxes ever. Also top 5 SS figures. After saying all of that it’s crazy to say that this figure could be a tad better. I just think some of the small bits pop off too easily and could use pins. That’s really it. Both modes are amazing. Transformation is neat. High recommendation.

 

I agree with all of this.

 

Won him today at a carnival. Phenomenal figure. Asides from his exhaust pipe pieces constantly popping off I say go for him. Figure of the year.
(Pro tip: kill any naysayers about this figure. Anyone sitting on the fence, go grab him. He’s fucking amazing.)

 

Yeah, the popping bits could have been fixed with 2 small pins or at the very least, longer nubs.

 

If you remove the ammo capsule belt it can, you just need to wedge it in with the barrel poking out.

 

It’s cool that his timegun can split apart to give him a normal pistol.
