    Is it? What could have caused that to happen? Could it maybe because of things like everybody attacking someone because they have a favorable opinion of a joint that literally nobody is forcing you to use? "Ab crunches are the worst thing to happen to ever happen Transformers articulation." That's just ridiculous. It's literally an extra option that you can just ignore if you don't like it. It doesn't hurt you at all nor take away from the figure. All it does is add another option for people to use if they want to. Sure, most of them have the issue of breaking the mold but again, and I can't stress this enough - the solution is to simply not use it. Some people want that option, mold breaking be damned, especially for those who like to photograph their figures and can do it from creative angles than minimize the broken look.

    And the whole being offended at crotch thrusting pictures - too fucking bad! Does it look silly? Maybe but that's a personal taste thing and guess what - not everybody is required to have the same taste as you.

    Less fun to talk about and enjoy the toys - well freaking do something about it. Be nicer. Make it more fun. And yes, I realize that not all of the criticism came from you - it's like somebody came in and said they don't like a toy and everybody felt the need to defend it for some reason.

    And I realize I'm being hypocritical here: I'm the guy who unapologetically hurls insults at people for buying MP$440 and I get triggered by painted or cell shaded windows. But I'm not the one complaining that it's not fun here anymore.

    So he does! A bit tight was an understatement though, hella tight might have been more on the money.
    Thanks TC.

    Don’t get angry and let it go. There will always be people who state their opinion in a bad way or just being clumsy. Even if this is a great forum, it is still a forum with its bad and good points.

    Optimus Prime's seldom used special ability of separating his torso from his legs and letting it float there like some sort of mecha-ghost.

    That literally looks like someone broke it and then balanced the upper half on the lower...

    I have a vague recollection of someone posting window templates earlier in the thread, but I can't find them. Am I going mad, or can someone direct me to them?

    And you for proving mine. I guess you'd have preferred if I blew sunshine up your butt and pretend you weren't part of the problem?

    Sure and that's fine but he was complaining that the forum isn't as fun as it used to be while he was contributing to that.

    How do you go about ordering it? Is it on their site somewhere?

    [Edit] Nm. Just realized none of my open pre-orders are with ShowZ and I've already got the head on its way from tf-direct so I won't worry about it.

    I find the forum very funny. You just have to forgive much from times to times.

    I think they said they will update the TE-01 listing about it. Maybe they did!

    Cool. Thanks. I did buy TE01 from them but I already have the head coming from TFD since they listed it earlier and didn't require that you bought it from them. Figured I'd go ahead and grab one from ShowZ as well (use it for customizing or maybe pass it on to another board member who isn't able to get one) and bundle it with my next pre-order but it turns out none of my pre-orders are with them so I'll just not worry about it. I like ShowZ but I haven't been using them as much lately - too freakin' slow.
