    as usual i enjoy your reviews and sense of humor

    thoguth mine was actually coming in today but looks like a no

    but looks like a great figure and i feel they did better on this face sculpt than some of the others maybe its because of the lack of face curves.

    great review emgo

    I'm glad to be able to share in this journey. I passed on Herc in favor of Giant. I am so totally up for Uranus.

    That's not squeaking because the pelvic gears are being shredded, I hope? That bit where you were playing with the combined mode arm, bending it at the elbow and hearing that squeak gave me a flashback to TFC's Heavy Labor.

    Eeek, and then it squeaked again when you tested out the leg articulation. :(

    From everything I've heard, the squeak is from smooth plastic rubbing on smooth plastic where the hip meets the pelvis, not grinding ratchets.

    I opened mine up for lube. The tooth inside does not even seem capable of grinding anything down. It has soooo much more give than what Heavy Labor had. Phantom just needs larger leg holes in his underpants.

    I greased mine as well. The last thing I want is Uranus making scary noises when I use it.

    Cool review. Still on the fence about this guy...

    I couldn't help but laugh at this sentence.

    All Herc needed was a Tyson tatoo on his forehead... even more comical would be attaching the smaller Energon limbs onto him... though I guess it'd be overkill woudln't it?

    Kal El Reviews: TFC Toys Project Uranos F-4 Phantom

    Video Review of TFC Toys Project Uranos Figure: F-4 Phantom

    Kal El Reviews: TFC Toys Project Uranos F-4 Phantom (060) - YouTube

    Very cool release from TFC, Cool bot mode, Cohesive Jet mode and a wicked arm mode.
    Qc seems to be generally good of than a few cases of squeaky hips that could be come an issue to the ratchets. I assume Tfc toys will release a fix as they did for their Hercules figures if it is a serious problem.

    Fun to transform, gotta watch out for those sharp bits. I kinda wish it had better heels.

    TFC Toys F-4 Phantom

    Here is the first piece of the upcoming Project Uranos set. It is a better toy individually than any of the Hercules members, but it appears that TFC just isn't getting it with the QC problems.
