It doesn't lock into anything in robot mode so its an open flimsy joint in a spot that shouldn't have one, so it moves when playing with the figure

Interesting finding....
I got a second set for Onslaught (Grand Scourge stole my first set) and the brawl locks in ALOT better and is less floppy...
Very small mould differences, and a different number in the peice (i'm on the other side of Oz right now) but one has a 1 and one has a 2 in it....
But downside... the arms and legs don't seem to sit as flush together in Tank mode...
Maybe there was a running change to tighten it up.
It still doesn't fix the awful "gutted" look Brawl has... with nothing between his chest and waist. He looks like a hanging butchered cow/sheep/pig, with a huge gap between the ribcage and the hindquarters.
I think they over-complicated the design when it wasn't necessary, and as a result, the robot mode ended up looking deformed.
I'm having the opposite problem with my CW Brawl. In tank mode I can get his legs/lowerhalf to lock into position with the top part and arms.
Even though we now have coloured images of the new Blast Off toy, TFYuki has tweeted some photos of the grey prototype, showing details that may have been lost in the colours. (like how the fists have holes at the end like Rook, which I didn't notice before)
