His black bug legs on the forearms are swapped, his gun does not fit in either hand, the alt mode head wont stay pegged together and his knees are the loosest things since loose moved to loose town. I can't get the figure to stand for more than a few seconds.

Well, technically, they didn't have to dig too deep on the Headmaster head since it was made available by Takara's Encore Fort Max release from last year. It even has the same "backwards thighs" misassembly the Encore release had (but this is minor since it doesn't affect the transformation or playability).gothsaurus wrote:A lot of these issues are due to the mold being quite old. If we want neat, occasionally vintage molds... this will sometimes come with the territory. And honestly, I DO like them digging deep for some of these... like the G1 headmaster for Botcon. Very cool surprise.

Who want's to bet we'll see a Predacon mold repainted into Galvatron II?
