The Punch side is based on "The Rebirth", but it still has the separate eyes of the toy.

Fair warning for those who are waiting for their email confirmation.. Mine showed up on my doorstep today and I never got any confirmation about it.. It sure is sexy though!

Got my first P/CP today, guess I'll probably get my other one tomorrow. Nice figure, but the roof was ridiculously out of alignment. Easy fix but still annoying. Overall I'm quite pleased with him.

This gives me hope, hope that Dion is en route and just taking a while to reach me.
I'll keep everyone updated.

Ah, that makes more sense now. Suppose I should have been paying more attention. #-o

That's kinda what I expected to happen for allot of people. Glad to hear you got it anyway, what with the move and all.

Well that's not much of a surprise, considering how they handle them.

*Edit*
I was bored so I checked the return address on all my FunPubs stuff...
I never realized until now that Brian Savage ran the whole thing out of a storage building and guest house in his back yard. :lol:

Got mine yesterday. Scratched windshield and panel gaps you can fit a dime through. Haven't transformed him yet but I'm not happy, I do like how they fixed the wings part to sit solidly on the gun; that's cool.

Mine is winging it's way to Japan from a trusted seller on Ebay in the states but I don't think I'll want to take him out of that super cool box.
I don't usually keep Transformers in their boxes as I want to Transform them/put them on display but that box will be kept for sure!
Had to pay $xxx Dollars for him but I suppose if he ever gets released over here as an exclusive, I'll be able to add a healthy mark up as well if I buy some to sell.

Not long until I'll be getting my Commemorative Seacons too, wonder if they will they arrive on the same day as it usually takes 2 weeks for Ebay stuff from America and Robot Kingdom are posting the Seacons on the 15th.
Can't wait!

Wow, I just looked on eBay for completed auctions...I can't believe the price these are going for. :shock:

Yeah...Think of how many people who bought two or more just to make a quick buck. I got one, and I'm pleased. I'm hoping a thrid party head that is slightly larger with a little more detail is made...maybe FansProject or TFClub...anyone make a better head. Such a small head makes me quite itt. That's where the toy is lacking, that slight mishap in detail.

Mine came today, I like the colors and the figure doesn't have any major issues. Leg joints are kinda loose, but the roof is not out of line.

I have to say, this is my first TFCC figure I have bought, and I am not impressed. For the size and the teeny head, it's a bit much for the money.

It's nice, I'm just not sure if it was 80 dollar nice.

In all honesty the box art is my favorite part...I stared at the box and all of it's angles for a good hour before I even took the figure out LOL...

So how do you fix the messed up hood alignment? I've bought other TFCC figures before and this is the first I'm severely disappointed with, so many bad issues, but still a sought after figure.

Your's fit solidly? Mine sure doesn't. :-(

And as a quick note, the hands are backwards for Counterpunch mode. Not much can be done about that though.

Head is tiny, but I can't see how they could fix that issue because the head has to slide into a small area, and still have the hidden face feature.

As for the hood alignment, my Sunstreaker had the identical issue when I got him.

As much as I'd like a Breakdown from this mold, I really hope they retire it soon (after Generations Red Alert).

You have to pop the hands out and swap them.

Has anyone brought these issues to the attention of FunPub?

by **Vicalliose** » Mon Jul 12, 2010 12:51 pm

*Edit* Just got P/CP this afternoon

Having it in hand now I can tell for sure that the head is too small And that a bigger one could have fit inside. And apparently the face was originaly silver, but then it was painted over in yellow for some stupid reason.

And the roof WILL NOT rotate all the way for me. Primus, this thing sucks. :-x

You have a link to some tutorial on that? Mine needs fixed.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Has anyone brought these issues to the attention of FunPub?

I don't even know if there's anything FunPubs could do about issues with the toy itself.
It's not like they could replace them, only 18 hundred even exist. :-?

*Double Edit* Finally decided to just call them about Dion. Someone named Kathy told me I can just send it back and they'll replace it. Though, I'll still have to pay for the shipping.

So right now I'm contemplating whether I should send it to them, or try fixing it myself.

I wish they would have just suggested cannibalising a pair of feet from one of their spare Dions. They'd already done that when people got missing/unpainted heads, I imagine a few are lying around somewhere.

No need bro, I already fixed it.
