From the looks of that head, I don't think he has any movable visor.
Stop being ridiculous. The visor obviously moves.
Sorry for riling your sensitivities then.
Maybe I'm looking at the pics wrong then. Is there a visor for the robot head?
Your apology is four days over due, but I will let it slide.
This time.

Looking at my sideswipe the heads on p/cp don't look any smaller.

Yeah, it isn't easy to tell at first.
The best way to see the difference is by comparing the size of the heads to the protrusion that the ball joints stick out of...
Er, this thing.

Oop, late to the party... I can see some of the concerns, but I think he looks alright.
Personally, I can't wait to get him; I've hoped for a long time for a nice P/CP remake. Glad I preordered.

Was just looking over these again today, and the more I look at them, some things bug me.
Is anybody else annoyed that they used the cartoon accurate face for Punch and the toy accurate face for Counterpunch? Personally, I wish they'd gone cartoon accurate on both faces.

I think this is a pass for me. If he were a general retail figure I'd buy him in a flash but getting CC figures over here is arduous.
This guy is a pass for me also - overuse of the same mold is rather tiresome.
Dion will have to suffice for this year...

I had the same question. How DO the hands work?
You have to pop them off and swap them.
The hands are easy to pop out and swap on that mould, the worry for me is the alternate leg transformation on Punch. To get the lower legs that way on and still have functioning knees you have to unscrew the lower legs and swap them out, and to get the figure to stand in that configuration you need to shave quite a bit of plastic away from the inside of the trunk/lower leg. I did that mod to my U Sunstreaker to differentiate the twins a bit more and I can't see how it'll work as part of the regular transformation on P/CP.
Missed the boat on this guy anyway, so if it is a major issue when people have this in hand I can probably manage to not feel too bad about missing out (or not finding myself paying way over the odds on the after market).
I'm sure somebody's going to tell me I missed something obvious when fiddling about with the mould before modding 'Streaker but it was the only way I could see to get the alternate leg config.
Doh! I must be blind. They just use the back of tne waist and thighs for Punch's bot mode, exposed screws and all. A simple if unelegant solution I suppose.

Wow...I just noticed that as well. Disappointment rising.

And to think my card has already been charged for this...I don't like the TFClub at all.
For the time it takes to space out how the figures are released, I am not impressed. I have joined many clubs, but this one feels very shoddily run.
