There is something about this design that just speaks to me. <br />It probably doesn't help that I also bought Pacific Rim on blu ray and already watched it twice, so now in my brain I'm thinking "Yeah, giant robots rock!" I ordered the blue version, and now am playing the waiting game as he has a long trip from Japan.clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298343062105290508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141598925206130911.post-79891282317384047062013-07-22T16:08:06.953-05:002013-07-22T16:08:06.953-05:00Yes, the head stays up without the spring.Yes, the head stays up without the spring.John Mallamashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09353521297928119965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141598925206130911.post-12957137980434038912013-07-18T01:58:24.105-05:002013-07-18T01:58:24.105-05:00The suit on General Zod is detailed and makes him ...The suit on General Zod is detailed and makes him awesome.

There are so many more tabs and pegs than I expected, and it really makes his different molds quite solid. <br /><br />One question about the nosecone mod. If you remove the spring from the head, can the head still stay up on bot mode?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13841142382125641519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141598925206130911.post-71803525619600238792013-06-02T20:57:58.776-05:002013-06-02T20:57:58.776-05:00Hi Jin, I would like you and everyone out there to...Hi Jin, I would like you and everyone out there to know that when you buy this figure for the first time, be reminded that the knee ratchet joint is the weakest of all it's joints. There is not much plastic there that would keep it sturdy. If this figure falls by accident from a table height level, I'm so sure that a crack on that joint will happen. <br /><br />Also, this first Grimlock I bought at TRU, the knee ratchet joint broke because it was so stiff to bend at first (I bent it by force which is a big mistake on my part). So guys out there, be careful when you got a Grimlock where the knees are stiff. Thankfully TRU was kind enough to replace my broken Grimlock.<br /><br />Now my new Grimlock with the stiff knees stands proudly in my collection. Sadly this guy will just be an FDO.

You mean the thickness of a quarter, correct?<br /><br />Most people would pick up on that easily enough, but if English isn't their first language, it could lead to a demolished Transformer. ;)Blaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229429847106445474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141598925206130911.post-11901997258740410332013-05-16T01:28:48.961-05:002013-05-16T01:28:48.961-05:00Tempted to get this as well.

I'd buy Jor-El, Supes & Zod in an instant if they were USD16.99 each.<br /><br />Unsurprisingly, we Malaysians can still find the TDKR and Green Lantern figures in discount bins everywhere too (about USD10 each)....I guess Mattel just didn't learn from past experiences.
