There's now Hasbro Asia to contend with. RobotKingdom was one of the few to offer GDO figures, which means they probably got them from Hasbro Asia.
Very good point.
The other etailers got them too, it just took a while. BBTS, ToyArena and many others all had/have the GDO figures.
They did indeed, which to me says that they had to jump through logistics that RK didn't have to.

Yep, that could be the case, but I've seen RK get a lot of import stuff much earlier than the other etailers.

I've always attributed that to them being much closer to the factories, them being in Hong Kong while the other sellers have to wait the extra week or two for stuff to cross the waters.

Yeah, me too. It makes sense since they don't have to cross the ocean or go through customs like they would for BBTS and other US based retailers.

That is a cool picture. I'd rather that his non-cannon arm was a solid grey, but that's not a dealbreaker for me. Looking forward to shelving this guy in the future.

This!!!
If they made an exact version of this that was 25% smaller, I'd buy it without question.
Edit: get rid of that clear hand too. Not sure why that was necessary.
