Any word on size? The preorders here are around $38US for the whole set, this thing better be at least voyager sized, but I'll hold off any preorders 1st.

How well do these things hold together? Are they stable? I don't want a figure that falls apart if you look at it wrong.

they hold together fairly well, the engineering is solid,as long as you dont rip them off the sprues

stability hasnt been an issue, but i do wonder about this one being top heavy

regardless, since i will never be able to afford a normal one and i have been happy with my other Kabaya kits, i look forward to getting mine

$38USD in Japan is not equivalent to US voyager size, it is equivalent to US deluxe size-- pricing-wise with import conversion from yen to USD and so forth.

I'm give and take with Kabaya. The small ones are hellishly fragile, the big ones are very solid and awesome. This should be more of the latter than the former, I hope.

It's roughly 2900 yen. Up until a couple of years ago deluxes were usually around 1900 while voyagers were 3500-ish in Japan, so it's dab in the middle. Of course Kabaya crap is cheaper to produce than proper toys with screws and pins and preassembly and stuff, and thanks to the Kabaya figures being classified as "candy-with-a-free-gift" rather than "toys" they dodge the extensive sales tax levied on toys. As such I can see this being bigger than a deluxe and probably close to, if not as big as a voyager.

The part that concerns me is that nowhere is guaranteeing that the factory box of 5 will contain 3 different pieces. I'd be very surprised if they don't but I pity the guy who gets 2 torsos and 3 right legs.

Diem's got a legitimate concern here, and I am in agreement... While I don't think a factory case would leave one without a full set (though a case with only five boxes in it does seem strange to me), the randomized blind-packing does leave one a little wary about their ability to complete this figure.

To this end, I propose a Trade Thread, to be posted when people start receiving their pre-ordered cases of Kabaya Fort Max. In this thread, people can post what parts they got, what parts are spare, and (if the case presents itself) what parts they're missing. From there, we can implement some system of trade or sale to help out fellow Seibertronians in need.

That said, totally stoked about this, regardless of the scale (though if Deluxe or slightly larger, he's going with my classics as IDW-sized Max) and glad I pre-ordered early. I love these candy toy TF kits (and actually owe it to Diem for getting me hooked on 'em in the first place :P) and the inclusion of Fort Max's Master Sword makes it even better!

i would suggest ordering from capturedprey.com where you can preorder the 3 pieces for the set without having to buy a box with random extras

They are good, bought nearly all my Kabaya kits from them and some other things. Sometimes it does take longer for them to get in products. I just recieved the last wave of Kabaya a couple days ago.

When putting my other models together I used a little glue here and there to make them a little more stable.

Agreed, i have ordered all my Kabaya as well as the new gashapon Prime stuff individually from them with no problems.
All ordered as individual pieces without having to grab cases/ extras that i don't need.
worth a shot if you haven't tried them before.
