Right back atcha, D-Max!

It's good to know that Black Lion can in fact be found in the wild - but you have your priorities straight!

Here's a suggestion for a wedding cake topper!

Perfect, except I was thinking Nautica/Skids

Ooh, I love that idea even more!

I couldn't find a topper, but how about an idea for after the ceremony?

I'm still a little sour that Skids and Nautica weren't made Conjunx Endura...

Yeah, but at least they got some sort of designation

Wow is this guy impressive. Now, the arms are definitely giving me issues, and I haven't tried to take him apart again yet, but he looks so awesome!

Oh Primus yes. This is literally the perfect and most awesome toy that I never knew I wanted but always secretly needed and wished for. The lions are so much fun, and Voltron is just the most beautiful piece of plastic I've picked up in a while. He is impressive, majestic, and I love his look. The Legendary Defender styles just appeal to me so hard, and this guy captures that perfectly. I love him, and he was worth the $115 spent on him. I feel like I did better with him than I did with Devastator really, and I really do love Devastator.

also, I did take him apart once. I had heard green lion was the worst so prior to attaching her I took my knife and shaved down the nubs a bit. still took 20+ minutes to get the arms out, and I took the knife to both. I haven't tried again, but I gather the joints just need to work themselves in.

And I did go back and watch the emgo review. My method ended up being his wiggle it until it gives to work

Well I hope it's because I inspire you to have fun and play with your toys instead of complaining about them. Especially silly play, like wolf surfing.

Congrats on your engagement! That's fantastic, and a wonderful thing. Best wishes to you and the soon to be Mrs. Maximus Prime.

Well you do, and after all: anytime you can get one figure using the other as his loyal steed winged wolf, fun ensues!

And thank you! Mrs. Maximus Prime has a nice ring to it :lol:

Oh shirt, VOLTRON IN DA HOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSEDENNNNNNNNNN!!!

Dang. That dude is the cool.

How is Sixshot treating you D-Max? Looks like he and Triggerhappy are getting along well :lol:

Wolf mode looks great!! I killed some wolves last night in BotW..! I don't think a bomb arrow would work too well on Sixshot though.. :lol:

Voltron is incredibly cool! So glad Will got him and somehow convinced me he was worth it!

Sixshot is alright, pretty disappointed really with him and his knees are so loose I had to try to titan them up, but he is still super floppy to the point of only being able to hold a straight legged pose in robot mode.

the wolf mode works though and Triggerhappy does look good surfing the winged wolf!

Fixed your comment :lol:

I have yet to really read anything on him so that's a bummer to hear that. I've been holding out for the Takara release as I'm sure he'll be the one I want. I have noticed I've had to tighten almost all figures I've purchased as of late, slightly annoying. Maybe after doing all of that work to Apollyon it made me realize what I want my figures to do/not do and floor polish seems to be the answer!

Heck yeah he does!! 8-)

I'm glad you picked up on that! it was intentional

Eh, Skullsmasher is wibbly at the hips, but Sixshot, oh his knees. That is a main distracting point for me is the fact he literally almost cannot pose cause of his knees. I mean, I've heard plenty of people like him, but I feel like he is irritatingly close to good, but he just isn't there, and that makes me sad cause he was one of my most anticipated figures.

Is it a "your mileage may vary" sort of thing or do all of them seem to have bad knees? If it could just be your figure, you should swap him!

Based on reviews I've seen, it is a wider thing with weak knees. Plus, my Sixshot is the one Will bought and then sold to me, so I can't really return this one

Might be mileage.
Mine does have loose knees, but he can still hold extreme action robo poses.
Ratchet's would have been ideal. Screws would have been better, but they used pins. Not much one can do about tightening pins, except maybe some serious floor polish.

You'll have to let me know if your knees loosen up. They got noticeably looser within 2 weeks of being in my possession.

Also, if anyone is looking to sell or knows of someone selling Reveal the shield Solar Storm Grappel or Universe Inferno, send them my way please!

Guess who bought my RTS Grappel (why did Hasbro do that to his name..)? That dude Cobotron!! That was one of my first sales back in the day!!

So are we all picking up MP Artfire? I skipped MP Inferno or MP Grapple in favor of him and it sounds like some of you did as well!

I pre-ordered him! after hearing how good Inferno was recently, I got somewhat excited, but I never had much interest in Grapple or Inferno, and I didn't want the Masterpiece version of either. I've been keeping an eye out for the generations versions, but nothing so far that satisfies me.

But then I started looking at Artfire, and dang he is everything I like about the mold. He is an obscure character that has a really cool looking design and he's a targetmaster so he gets a masterpiece Targetmaster! And his colors are cool, and it's the awesome mold.

I mean, if you look at it, my only masterpiece is a shattered glass character, so why not make the 2nd a highly sought after rare character that is also a targetmaster? I like this sort of collecting: the more niche stuff that is absolutely cool and something that you can't get that often.

It's also encouraging me to pursue Inferno and Grappel more so I can have those 2 with Artfire, same way Cliffjumper was successfully hunted down to go with shattered Prime. it's helping encourage me to finish getting the original Ark crew/season 1+2 guys in some sort of fashion
