    Technically they all do, but the parts’ corners restrict the toy’s waists from swiveling. Most people’s Thrust came out of the box with a half broken crappy waist rivet and that is why it can twist more than the other seekers.

    @Arduous should be careful because there’s more than one story involving Thrust’s waist rivet simply coming unhinged from the plastic. The whole toy just rips right in two.

    I love my coneheads but Hasbro Asia hosed us all with those exclusive prices and the shoddy craftsmanship.

All the others are in storage, well still packed away. Most of these have been acquired since the move except for a few. I
    Have to redo the walls before I unpack the rest. Boy do I miss having a proper display set up.

    So, I was tinkering around with MP Soundwave today and thought to myself, "Wow, I wish he came with a little cassette player...wait a second!" Then I dug through my dresser of old stuff, and lo and behold I pulled out my World's Smallest Transformers Soundwave. I was completely surprised that I had this teeny little thing, half-a-nail-sized Ravage and all, but he makes for the perfect little accessory for Soundwave...that way he can hide in plain sight amongst my Autobots...and listen.

    Yeah after I realized that for the same money to buy 3 Masterpiece figures I could buy the 13 figures that I still want from Power of the Primes I just can't justify casually ordering these online. Looks like I'm just going to have to save Masterpiece figures for special occasions and cons. Aw well that at least makes my MP Sideswipe a unique part of my collection.

    Ain't that the truth. I stuffed paper between the two halves to gain some stability. I'm surprised there wasn't a fix offered.
