And with all due respect to the reviewer, "guns stay in the hands during transformation, much like ROTF DLX Brawn" should have been placed in the "CONS" section. Who wants a figure with anything stuck in their hands rather than giving you the option to attach it or leave it off ???

The paint applications aren't that bad. Like I said before, I have some Hasbro Transformers that have some pretty sloppy paint work as well. She really only shows some flaws on close inspection.

Some things i forgot to mention head dose move you just got to work with it alittle if it is stuck.
p.s.Pascal were did you get the faction symbols?

I do wonder though...could these just be problems due to a rush job and future production runs will fare better?
I mean, we heard she was coming out, then a video showing the finished product, and then a little over a month later, she's on people's door steps. I'm thinking the first wave, much like the first ROTF figures, is very much a rush job and the problems will work themselves out in the future?
If nothing else, I'm sure someone with skills will break down their TRNS figure, make molds and cast new and sturdier parts. I won't be the least bit surprised if we hear that there are a bunch of TRNS knockoffs being made.

If this was perhaps 10-15% larger, there would be no problem.

The other design issue to look for is the bicep piece. I plan to take this apart, sand down the connector and put it back together. I believe this will correct the problem entirely. As it stands, the screw is set to the bottom half of the piece creating unequal pressure points of securement. So, the male-tab that hooks into the bicep, because it is slightly too big, causes the bicep "gap" that you see in pics.
I think this is fixable. I'll find out this weekend.
