Motto: "My banjo is everything; defeat is ukelele"
T'was a good day yesterday because this was waiting for me when I got home. I was really impressed by the weight of the thing boxed, it's kind of ironic because the box is exceptionally good quality whereas the plastic on the figure is not fantastic, about as good as the Sharkies basically. I worry most about the 'horns' on his head as well as the waist/crotch cover plate, which is on a very spindly connector. I also decided to shave the connector on the back down, because I could not slot the back of the cannon into it, and I was using a lot of force. With this done, everything tabs in very well and the whole thing feels solid in both modes. It goes without saying that it looks fantastic, and I am super impressed with the transformation, and how well both modes are represented - I thought it couldn't be done :)

*Groooooaaaaannnnnn* Okay, here's another thread necro. I remember some saying (myself included) that they would like an orange barrel to this guy. Well, Reprolabels has a new label sheet for us. Woot!!

Im so getting that when I get caught up with my reprolabels. But right now theres too much cool stuff coming out to drop almost 300 on all the reprolabels I want. Hopefully when bay mania kicks in, the third party scene slows down a bit. Give my wallet time to breathe, lol

Mania King (original colors) has been discounted to $99.99 from $114.99 @ BBTS probably because people waiting for the vintage color one...

I'm very pleased with the Vintage Colours version. Fixes half the problems I had with the original release, and in ways that I can easily overlook the other minor issues I have. Complex transformation and you can get some lovely poses with him. Plus: LASER!
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

So my G1 colored ManiaKing is processing at BBTS... was just about to cancel him o well.

Edit:

Alright Can't wait anymore, went ahead and shipped my loot. I'll just ship Tigris separately when he comes in STock. This is my biggest loot ever thanks to all the waiting for the Feral Rex stuff.

Wow this guy is **** awesome!! Transformation is really fun. I feel bad for trashing it the way I did when it first came out. But in my defense the wrist still kinda sucks, doesn't bother me much but you can't get many natural poses out of them with those wrist. also mine came without a screw on one leg! wth? the main screw where you split the shin and rotate it to become the canon barrel. when I pull it just came straight off. Scared the **** outta me. but then I realize it had no screw there.. -_-

Also there are some terribly thin and sharp parts (besides the obvious head crests) which is kind of scary. Fit and finish is not really that clean there are gaps and spur marks in a lot of places.

With all that it is still amazing..!!!

With all those issues, do you think it was worth the $100-$115 you paid for him?

Mine's in the mail. :D

I paid $115 while I don't think it's actually worth it... It's awesome and I'm happy to have it. 85 would be a great price for it and I would've waited for a sale but I heard that this run is limited so might not go on sale? Lol I dunno let me know what you think when you play with it megs
