I was going to review it the week after Botcon, but I got lazy. Plus, I'm not sure I wanted my first review to be a 3rd party figure.

He's good enough, but he's got some flaws that may turn people off: loose hips, somethings are so tight that they can't move into their proper place, and he doesn't tab in as well as he should for altmode. These may be just problems with mine(like his comic style head not fitting on the post).

Plus there's the long plastic bit sticking straight out the back of him...

Thanx, I'll have to wait for other reviews to hit and see if those issues are isolated or not before I decide if I should have it shipped or return it.

It looks cool but the feet are failure incarnate...Not casettes either? no sale I say!

Ravage is planned, also he works with G1 cassettes.

I think the reviews out there are for the pre-release version...supposedly the retail version is supposed to have improvement.
