Me too man. I need to see what else might be coming soon. If nothing, I'm hitting ship on these fellas.

Between FP, PE, and Maketoy half my Classics 'Cons shelves are gonna be 3rd party stuff!

All we need now is a Shockwave and the rest of TFC's Constructicons and that should be the entirety of the season one 'Con cast.

Same as y'all I've hit the ship now on my pile - it's going to be a sweet deal to get these guys out of the box in one go. Did we all buy them at BBTS? I've noticed their FP price has just topped $51........

eagerly awaiting review from anybody who shipped theirs faster

Just got Kickback today....Awesome figure, very creative transformation sequence!
Now I can focus on TFC Devy!

got him in today dont do reviews sorry cant help you there .

backfiery is favorite one of the bunch of insecticons since he was the only one i had when i was kid, i would have like it if one of his wings could transform into ninja sword kunai is also a good weapon

got mine a few days ago, thought id share my thoughts as well.

bot mode: hes not as skinny as he looks in photos, he has a satisfying size. his face is pretty sinister looking, if you tilt his head up it looks like hes giving you a crazy stare-down. he has wrists! his backpack is a little bulky, but situated well. he is the most pose-able of the three in my opinion. careful of those head spikes, they are thin and pointy, and prone to breakage if proper care is not given.

transformation: fun and interesting without being frustrating or stressful. the only tedious part is replacing the kunai all over his legs, but that's just a minor nitpick.

bug mode: SOLID. hes the most bug looking of the three, and the only one with wings. he doesn't really do much, the front legs are pose-able but the ball joints are too weak to really hold an extreme pose, however he looks amazing in mid-jump poses with a stand of some sort. I cram a revoltech stand into his underside to keep him up, but a figma, bandai or tamashii stage base would probably work just as well if not better.

accessories: he comes with 6 kunai throwing knives, and they are SHARP! I've posed him throwing a knife in a midair pose using a stand opposite a downed Hound, with the rest of the knives crammed into his neck and joints. they give you six, but they are relatively small, and easily lost. one popped off during posing and i had to go under the couch for a good 5 minutes before i found it again.

if you've got the other two, you should absolutely without question get this one. if you are contemplating getting this one, id say go ahead if you have the $50 to spare, but prepare to be slightly disappointed in the other two should you get them as well, Backfiery is clearly the superior figure of the three.
