    Mine arrived today...with the same looking spoiler as Tetsuwan Convoys.
    It also has a dodgy pin through one hip, and a really loose canopy that rotates on its own.

    He is a miserable looking bugger isnt he? Lol. Why cant he have a smile on his face? I do like this figure actually. Shame I could never afford one

    I reckon they will all be like that, when I put mine back in the box, I discovered the box isn't big enough, hence the spoiler bending.

    Kinda like the Cheetor techspec... it was too big, so they squeezed them into the boxes at an angle which crushed the corners.
    If they were GIJoe toys, FunPub probably would have taken more care...

    I'm yet to get mine.

    I think the tight boxes is a budget thing. they probably save a massive amount scrimping on box size, and then when the tolerancing is on the small side, things don't quite fit.

    Mine arrived today with no bending of the spoiler or any of the other defects people have mentioned (well, none that I've found so far).

    IMO the yellow eyepatch is not very effective. It doesn't stand out very much; it looks like the manufacturers just forget to paint the left side of his forehead crescent yellow.

    The tech specs arrived unbent, but the instructions did not.

    It looks like he has pus coming out of his eye. What's that supposed to represent anyway?
