Any time bro. I just realized that I didn't put the Chuck's Reviews tag before my review. I'm slipping in my old age

I just got him and I'm happy with him. He's satisfyingly chunky and his accessories are fun to fiddle around with to create different looks.

Has everyone seen the new pics with a CGI Prime with this model. It also looks like he has a Buster Cannon a la Mega Man.

Great review.. I have been on the fence about this guy... The only issue I don't like is the arms not being able to swing forward..

Having played with it some more you can fool around with the wings to get them in a "Rest" position where you can move the arms fully. The smoke stacks and sides are soft rubber that you can "squeeze" the arms around. Theoretically with the wings deployed for flight he doesn't need to move his arms over his head as he could just fly into that position.

Here I took this pic to help show how to position the wings
