    Unless someone else says it, I don't think it does. I try and nudge it up but really don't want to risk it with all the functionality that must be going on in there for the eyes and the mouthpiece.

    I really wish it did though. The only sour point I have with it. (Not enough to dent my unadulterated affection for it tho)

    Anyone else have a magnet issue? I just got mine today, and his right torso section (red piece) has the magnet flipped so they repel instead of attract. I can't get the little magnet out to reverse it, and I've been unable to try on the bigger one so far. Might end up emailing BBTS if I can't fix it. Hoping they have spare parts.

    Mine had the same issue too. Got it from Anime Export so I was fucked from the get go. Haven't tried to figure out what's wrong with it. Bummer.

    Fixed my magnet issue, was able to pry out the one on the body of Optimus and reverse it, in case anyone has this problem, used some super tiny screwdriver set to wiggle it out, and try that before even attempting the magnets on the die cast pieces. They ones built into his body seem to not be glued (this one was not).

    Yes, welcome aboard it is an incredible figure. So exciting we should have Fewture's companion megatron by 2025. Only 10 years to go! Barring Fewture's typical delays of course

    Just got mine today. Sad to say I have problems with the electronics... The voice box is not working (mouth guard is able to move, but no voice sound nor any other sound coming out). Everything else works, but dropping this kind of money only to discover the sound unit not working is really upsetting. Anyone have any recommendations? I've contacted my vendor and they told me to come back tomorrow. Hope it works out. Anyone have the manufacturer's contact info?

    Other than that, the statue is amazing. Love the detail and craftsmanship! Pre-ordered Ultimetal Ultra Magnus and will do the same with Megatron. Not so sure about Battle Damage Optimus...
