    hmmm I wonder how easy would it be to swap the heads, coz at times it's not an easy ball joint swap only.

    But at US$45? Bit much imo. And I don't have a metroplex yet to know whether its worth it.

    That's an awfully small amount of plastic for $48AUD.
    Any figure that comes with swords demands wrist articulation.

    Super easy. I removed mine to fix because it came mis-assembled.

    This seems pretty nice but not worth the cost. The standard head is adequate enough. If the upgrade kit had come with Six-Gun then it would be something.

    What's the retail on Metroplex? $110 US? And they want $45 for a head, radar and turret?

    good to know about the head...


    True ei? Had they devised a whole new figure using the guns which can incorporate to the standard figure - making it an unofficial Sixgun - and prolly in the process gives us 2 handheld cannons instead of Hasbro's cheapskate 1... then that pricing would be reasonable - as it's already asking price for a Voyager... oh well there's bound to be more of these 3rd party"upgrade attempts Im sure - I see there's already one for the extra gun which transforms into something but just a prototype CG as of now.

    Mine already has a chrome head (unfortunately) so $48 for a tiny turret and a radar?.....no way.

    Plus this is bbts. One of the most expensive places to buy figures.
    I too find this set way over priced.
