I just found the whole first wave of Robots in Disguise 2015 figures in my local Toys "R" Us tonight. That includes the Warriors, Legions, 1-Step Changers, and 3-Step Changers. I picked up a Warrior Steeljaw and his "Mini Me", Legion Steeljaw. (And also another AoE 1-Step Changer Steeljaw. Don't judge me.) Anyway, I can confirm what Seibertron has already reported, that Steeljaw can balance without using his tail as a support. You just have to adjust the knees slightly to get him in a steady standing pose. Also, my figure's left elbow joint moved easily, but the right one was VERY tight. Forcing it was causing the upper arm strut to bend (not a problem, as it is softer, very tolerant plastic. No stress marks resulted). I finally got it to bend without trouble by pulling the forearm and upper arm apart from each other while simultaneously bending the elbow joint. Worked flawlessly then. As another note, something I hadn't seen featured in earlier pictures of the Legion Class Steeljaw is that he has a tail too! It folds down from his back/top of the truck. It leaves a little gap back there, but for the size of the toy, it's very forgivable for the added detail for the character.
