Me too! I wasn't planning on getting him but that price was just a steal, especially with free shipping and the second round of QC fixes.Originally Posted by spiderken17

Finally got a chance to check out my Apollyon, quick summary is that overall figure is good. I'm happy with it so far.
He has a bit of weight to him (although not as much a FT figures). Only a minor scratch on his abs (or could be left over glue or smudge, hopefully can fix/paint over it), everything else seems to be ok.
Plugs were stuck in with a dab or two of glue. The barrel plug I was able to wiggle out with a little bit of force, making sure not to bend/stress the swivel bar. The silencer plug was a bit tougher. I dunked it into some hot water to warm/loosen the glue, then did the screwdriver trick to pop it out.
He has the usual floppy right arm (when fusion cannon is attached). I think maybe the ankle tilts are a little loose but need to try out some more poses to be sure.
I haven't had a chance to transform him yet though, will have to give it a try tmrw. Hopefully it won't be too frustrating. I think like most I will transform him at least once to say I've done it, and confirm it's all good, then back to robot and he'll stay like that for display/play purposes.
Do need to find a Decepticon label for his chest too, just doesn't seem complete without it ... a little nekkid
