Leo Dux is also on pre-order again with an expected release date of January 30 2015. Are we looking at a second run already?

Awww shucks. No early bird specials. :-(

I don't believe PSX ever updated Tigris. It's still September 15th according to MMC's Facebook.

I have some good news for you... you can stop checking for 48 hours now. Go play outside, enjoy your in-hand figures, make room for the BADASS display you're going to have your MMC Ferocicons in. But Talon just didn't make it today, and I'm not going to let that damper my weekend.

Exactly what i expected pure awesomeness . cant find one flaw with the figure personally other than been a little back heavy .

Joints are good , ratchets click a lot more than other releases , stable when standing straight ,Looks to the tallest of the five limbs, nice very simple transformation . Just what we have came to expect from MMC really.

couple of comparison pics. (post some tonight)

Wow! I definitely expected Talon to be slightly shorter than Bovis & Fortis. Seems like a steal for my $75 early bird preorder.

So I was perusing BBTS looking at some other products for another thread and I decided to look up Talon's expected ship date. Because, you know, I'm ADD and addicted to plastic crack and such. Sometimes BBTS has a firm ship date and I can celebrate. You know what I found?

I think it's been proven by now that MMC's listed "release dates" is actually the date that they ship it out. Add on the time it takes to get in to port, clear customs, then get on the road to retailers and you're looking at actual release dates a few weeks past the stated date.

Indeed. I was hoping with these showing up at another retailer (was it Kapow?) that BBTS would get him in this week. Ah, well...

If this thing processed on August first I'd laugh way too hard.

Looks like part of that bird head can flip down on the robot head and form a black cap on the top robot head. Think I like it better this way.

Yep it sure can T

, More of a hood than a cape , though saying that if you count the birds tail feathers .

Not sure if this is good or bad, but my preorder got updated to early August 2014.

by **guarayakha** » Sat Aug 09, 2014 11:24 am

So, I got Talon, but I'm not sure if this was asked before, so here goes. Anyone knows what the extra connector joint on both Talon/Tigris's chest is suppose to attach to (other than for Talon to be the backpack mode in the 6-member config)?
