    Yup, excellent with the paint. Right up until you transform the figure the first time.

    Commander Stack looks spectacular in both modes. So even though I don't want to transform him, I feel the complex transformation is justified (even if improper tolerances are not).

    Roadking has a wonky looking bot mode with an incongruous design and a hideous backpack visible from almost all angles, that is accurate neither to the toon, nor the toy. And he has a truck mode trailer that is way too small, making him look bizarre next to MP-10 or MP-44. Unnecessary compromises made for a hokey all-in-one gimmick resulting in a frustrating transformation. Not justified, even a little. But he is considered a gold medal toy because certain youtubers say he is.

    I disagree, Roadking is awesome, I wonder why people call whatever feature they don't like a "gimmick"...

    The few reviews i've watched show people just continue to bend it until the second joint comes out.

    Skip to 8:15 in his video to see what i mean.

    Roadking is one of the greatest Transformers ever made.

    In that sense they are no worse than the official MP figures.
    I actually bought an MP 36 KO to transform if I want to, since I don't wat the paint chipping on the official.

    Someone I know never transformed MP-44 to keep his paint pristine.

    I get your point, but paint chipping isn't necessarily exclusive to FT.

    In their video posted 2 weeks ago they said it would be 20 days. They didn't say why.

    And for the fact that Stack is a great looking accurate bot, which also turns into a full truck and trailer that's accurate, i would say it's up on that list too, regardless of any issues or reputation.

    Too tall. Just like the XTB Motormaster. Only DX9 got that right.

    I agree with you. Watching that transformation reminds me of Roadking. I was actually thinking about picking up Stack but after watching that dude's review of him I'm having reservations. I'm going to check out more reviews before make a decision.

    Well, I guess we won't be getting the Youth version in hand before Christmas now. At least not in the UK :(

    Just got mine in a few hours ago, transformed and back. Managed the back about 95% from memory, and this was an our later, so high hopes I can transform it next time without instructions.

    Plastic is not too bad, about Takara Hound feel. My copy's left skirt flap mount is cracked where the skirt's pin goes into the center part, so not sure what I'm going to do with that, likely contact seller. Also left circular shin detail came in unglued, but that's a simple fix Finally, as previously mentioned crazy stiff elbow pull.

    All told a solid figure, but just feels a bit shy of greatness.
