DAMN and I thought the Crzydevy gold Pred wings were ridiculous...

Not only is it overpriced, but it doesn't transform and it's in one of the worst poses...

Why did they change the pose? The one they showed us a year ago was just fine. That said this is incredibly cool but as I stated back when this was announced, I'm not interested.

It doesn't transform, it's a statue that's based of the actual 3D model used in the movie with the only difference being that some parts have been fused together for stabilities sake and that the only articulation it has is a moving head and a bit of movement in the arms plus it comes with a few different weapons. Oh and it's a little bigger than the leader class toy.

Slightly overpriced, for a paperweight. If it can't transform, they could have at least make him articulate like a revoltech figure, but... yeah, paperweight.

How many fully articulated statues do you see normally?

Do people complain that busts don't have legs, too?

Yes, they do. The only reason I didn't bought the WW Grimlock statue is, that it doesn't have legs.
