    Seeing as he's got the back-arm kibble in only one shot and it seems to peg onto an exposed peg on his arm (and there's no discernable difference on the back of his legs between the kibbled+non-kibbled images), I presume the more accurate arm kibble parts are totally separate add-on bits that just snaps on and aren't a part of the transformation?

    The arm flaps can be kept on for the transformation or can also be removed and then plugged back in later. They go under the chassis in alt mode (I've not shown this yet).

    They are designed to cater to the different preferences.

    I haven't tried that but based on what I've seen and handled, it should be an issue. I'll add that to the list of configuration to shoot. :)

    Looks like a perfect MP for those more toy oriented MP collectors. I think BC cater to to the toon accurate guys a little more. Two great choices and I'll be hard pressed not to get them all sooner or later.

    I vaguely recall the character from the cartoon and never had the toy so I'm happy with both the Mmc and bc options. At sub $100, I got a bad bad feeling I may end up with all 4 of these guys!

    With the options for toy head and arm kibble, it would be hard to pass.

    Only minor gripe is the bare plastic (a glossy finish would go a long way) but they are making an outstanding...

    Looks like they just snap on to those pegs about mid bicep on the side?

    Looks good but too similar to TB for me. I like chunkiness of BC Hoist. Will likely get MMC TB and BC Hoist.

    Its thighs are a little shorter. And you can leave the hood wide on the chest. Those things on the arms. Different forearms, head, stuff pegged onto the back. BC's did a whole lot more to make them different and I want my guy short and fat and dumpy.

    Here he is with more squat proportions. My perfect Hoist would probably look more like this (sorry for the crappy shoop)
