Apparently the second run (seriously, like a few weeks after launch?) is improved, with some new paint decos, etc.
There's some feedback to KFC in the TFW2005 thread.
Personally, I'm happy with mine (possibly because, although a cheaper-feeling purchase, it arrived with the QC quandary that Cubex made), but considering KFC's emails to vendors are a bit different in tone to their Facebook page comment to the public, I'm happy to officially say #fuckKFC
I've got what I have ordered on the way (a couple of Batbat versions from Ace's Toy Store), and could only possibly be tempted by the upcoming DAI Citizen Stack, because I don't like the chances are of Takara making a Diaclone/86 promo reel Magnus.
Unfortunately, much like Cubex, KFC has hit my list of 3rd party to avoid. FT, Toyworld and Planet X have spoiled me in that regard.
Yer, I thought about it but yer, his truck is a hollow shell and I've heard mixed reports about the quality of their products we'll just have to see I guess... But as for me personally, official will always come first. I can't wait to see the painted taktom Um... We haven't even seen bumblebee's yet!
I watched a few reviews of this guy, and it has me wondering if these reviewers are on someone's payroll
I agree. Official always wins. And a friendly tip: it's yeah, not "yer".Quote:

Haha I have a friend who drops yer's on me regularly. I haven't the heart to tell her it's "yeah". Is "yeh" acceptable, master Trent sir?Quote:

But "yeah" isn't a word. It's an informal way that people say "yes" isn't it? Can't be slapping no rules on a word like "yeah" :pQuote:

Have a business meeting with your manager or a client and replace yes or yeah with "yer". They will enquire as to if you are drunk. Seriously it sounds like you should be saying "hur hur" after it. It's not a word.
And with this conversation I have finally crossed over into cranky old man territory. :(
And to Tfiguy, this rant is nothing against you and not normally how I carry on here. My redneck cousin uses that group of letters (I refuse to acknowledge it as a word) on Facebook all the time and I now associate it with stupidity, ignorance and rednecks. So I do apologise if I put you off.
Can we just talk about transformers guys?
On the upside, it is kind of an appropriate topic for an Ultra Magnus-themed thread.:D Significance of semicolons and all that.

If I purchased this I'd probably be consistently worrying over the accordian-ing hip joint which could potentially make him a parts-former in the near-future.Quote:

I think its a great figure - could do with a little more paint/stickers to break up the plastic bits (looks like reprolables is aleady on to that) but still displays really nice none the less.
I wouldn't consider it a 'play-with' kind of figure though, doesn't feel very heavy duty, though I couldn't see the plastic or joint quality to be any sort of an issue unless you plan to transform it on a daily basis for some reason.
Rumour is that Toyworld's will be IDW MTMTE Magnus. Which would be at least 12 different kinds of awesome :DQuote:
