Pre-ordered. This one will be glorious!!!

Preordered as well, but I may switch over to RK for my preorder if they post him soon.

If I order several things from them I can save on shipping, and they can be cheaper than BBTS.

I've told myself to stick to MP releases only, but I am sorely tempted by this. Ug, if only I had more MONEY! Still, I am very likely going to get my Sixshot one way or another. Damn, Hex looks great!

Preordered.

Besides the fact that the character is legendary, what is the particular appeal of this rendition? The alt forms and transformations look nearly identical to the G1 toy, which I didn't think was very stellar. So what is the particualr draw to this? Is it the size, the articulation, detail?

Pretty much all that, and MMC has really stepped up their game. It's a Classics Sixshot, a character there's almost no chance of getting an updated form from Hasbro or Takara.

Ive heard Sixshot is really big in his comic book appearances. Can somebody post a few of these pics please ? I want to feel better about this figure being part of my classics collection. I dont want him on my coffee table as a stand alone figure.

I think this is one figure where the character of the bot, and his 6 mode ability are just so insane on its own that you cannot go without having him in your collection. I feel the way about Sixshot that some probably feel about metroplex or Fort Max - I just have to have it. If I knew there was no way I would get an updated version, I would probably have bought the Sixshot reissue, and been happy with him EVEN with all the limited articulation. Hes just too awesome.



The bigger, the better when it comes to Sixshot.

What issues are you referring to?

I'm not sure they were ever specified, just that during MMC's touring with the test shot, certain issues were discovered which involved re-engineering small parts of it, pushing the release date back a few months.
