Dang it. I just placed an order. Ah, well, next time. Thanks for pointing these out.

 

Those look pretty good.

Edit: but not good enough to justify the price tag. Yeeouch.

 

Overslay's stickers just doesn't look right, but it's all we got ! Don't like the stickers on the tail, in mouth, and has no tape reels. Slugfest/Haymaker I will be putting the Reel counter thing right above the tape reels, not on bottom.
I like my mock better thought, LOL.

 

Question guys, I just recently gotten OVERSLAY & HAYMAKER... the ladder one is perfect, but Overslay's right hind leg is INCREDIBLY loose...

If I hold the figure by the head, and rock it back & forth a little, the back leg could spin... its loose to a point where, if it were a wheel he would roll incredibly well.

now the joint is not a screw, nor a pin that goes through... on one side there a black dot and nothing on the other.

Obviously the figure cant hold up. So I'm wondering if there is any way to tighten the joint?

If you look at the photo from post just above mine, my problem is with the black dot on the bottom left of the photo.

 

I've just opened mine and yes, my Overslay has a similar problem with one of his hind legs. He still stands, but mainly on his good leg. The other leg is positioned for balance

I've noticed that BBTS has preorders for the older KFC Cassettes including B-Box/Birdbomber, Overslay/Haymaker. Does anyone know if these are are a part of a new run with qc improvements? Are they worth picking up? I'm just looking for new cassettes for my recently acquired Soundblaster since he only came with official MP Ratbat.

 

They're nice if you want to complete a cassette-bot MP collection, they obviously scale pretty well with the other MP tapes but quality wise, they're a step down. They can be a little loose and such, but they do the job in a display. As long as you're not expecting current 3rd party MP quality, you'll probably dig them, I do.

 

I came real close to ordering the con cassettes today but I just couldn't go through with it at the price they are asking. These items are part of the "old" KFC before they started making improvements. I almost feel like I'd be better off using my g1 reissue con cassettes for my MP Soundwave/Soundblaster.

 

Sorry for the massive necrothreading, but with the FT version of Overkill announced, I decided to look into what else there was out there.

Now, I'm not interested in the KFC version, but came across this promo shot with it stood next to some other figure:


and thought that this would make a great IDW version:


Anyone know what this is?

 

Pretty sure that's the Classics release (repaint of Classics Grimlock)
