    New hands and a white rifle. Somebody make that set, and my money will become your money.

    I'm still hoping that at least one US store will end up carrying this, only so I don't have to pay as much shipping-wise. I don't want to miss out on this, though, so I'll probably preorder at RK before long if no one else opens preorders.

    Keep us updated. If it isn't on BBTS, I'd definitely snag one from Robot Kingdom

    Just what the fans wanted - back filler for a toy whose backside isn't that bad-looking. The IF kit for FoC Grimlock boosted a mediocre toy to a decent toy; this seems superfluous.

    I'll yell if I see it stateside anywhere.

    Here comes some update for this upgrade kit. It seems the prototype is coming out very soon, X2TOYS may deliver more images later. I'll update you guys. Thanks!

    All third party upgrade kits are superfluous, none of them are desparately needed or required - they are superfluous by nature.

    But different people like different things and quite like to modify their figure in all kinds of different ways, which is why upgrade kits exist.

    Welp, seeing as I just modified mine to have wrist swivels I guess this kit isn't as desirable

    I like the added ankle articulation. Looks like ankle tilting is possible.

    I thought the foot pieces shown in the render were simply meant to fill in his hollow feet and perhaps negate the "forced A-stance" molding. I guess I can be down with all new-feet, though.

    The only odd thing is that I swear it looks like the foot is backward in the new pic. I do see how the part that's pointing forward is actually meant to be the front, though. It probably won't look as odd colored.

    How does one changes the arms? I´m afraid that if I force too much the plastic will stress.

    And the blue part? I looked at mu UM and it looks like it´s glued to the arm itself.
