    Hound's head seems fine. I also don't have the reissue but here are some pics. As for the seekers, both Starscream and Thundercracker have the legs angled a bit towards the feet, which is not present on my original TC. Looks like the newer moulds all have this.

    I have the Hound reissue (TF Collection, purchased from Japan), and the head seems to pop all thexway out. Was this an issue for all of these releases or just some?

    I had two Starscreams delivered together. both squashed, however in alternating fashion. So on had its flap ben forward, the other had its flap bent backward. Wasn't happy about the situation. Going to be a bit of a risk with two TC's and two Hounds... and depending on when I order, two Hot Rods...

    I think there was a discussion earlier on of the other forums, that this is bending due to the way they are packed.

    Mine arrived today, boxes in perfect nick, no bending on Thundercracker's legs either, so I got really lucky. It's amazing what a difference it makes having a Hound that can actually have its head pop all the way up. Now I want to buy a true vintage specimen just for that, as it feels like a completely different toy. Amazing.

    Very happy with both of them, I can't stop smiling.

    G1 Hound's head pops up just as much as this Retro reissue. The only significant physical change they made is in the disabled missile launcher, otherwise this reissue is pretty much physically identical to the G1 toy.

    Refer to comparison photos on the Retro Hound toy review thread.
