It's probably the blue prototype throwing me off. But I do think his torso looks too...
I don't know. Something just seems off to me.
Back at it again!

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.

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.

Yeah, the translucent hand is not cool. Neither is the targeting reticle on his ass. It is a cool figure, but definitely too big and a little too G1 for me.

Well, they ARE making a voyager version for next year. So there'll be a smaller version.
Gotta admit the target on his ass is funny in a bad way. You could flip it up so it sits underneath his backpack. It may look odd if he's turning at the waist, but it does preserve his dignity.

Actually like the translucent hand... very tempting, if only I had more money and was a bigger fan of the MP scale. Probably gonna hold out for Hardbone & Blackarachnia...
Voyager-size will be an insta-buy for sure though.

Looking good! Now I want a review of him so I can see if he is as good as he looks.

It does look cool to see all the Shockwave on the assembly line, but really need a review before I commit.

c/o deaculpa of TFW2005
he doesnt shrink at all. you forget how much of hegemon is add-ons in gun mode to make it that size. FT03 is self-contained.
as part of the transformation, you can make a trigger. while this piece is used for something else, the figure is so sturdy that you dont really need it if you want the trigger. again, mad sturdy. dude looks like hke he can take mp10.
and now ill spend the rest of the night trying to transform hegemon back.
