classics, prime/megatron package

Post by Kup »

has somebody noticed in the classics megs /op ultimate battle pack,
that on megatron his feet are mounted backways?

i got two megatrons and both they had their feet in the wrong direction,
i've fixed one myself and now it transforms like it should

is this an isolated case or are they all mismanufactured?

it really jumps out when you look at the transforming instructions,

I did get one of those two-packs and promptly returned it. I was not happy with either figure. Yes the feet were backwards on the Megatron, but what got me more was the unstable pelvis on Prime.

I am much happier with the Voyager Calssic Prime and the Titanium Megatron.

the feet? not really, did you rotate the hips around and whatnot?

I liked the optimus in bot mode, but not so much in truck mode. He'll also be the one in the movie two pack with optimus then and now, with the FAB movie optimus.

your right TT the OP in the pack is true to him in robot mode, but i think he had a head on with a fright train in vehicle mode,

as i understand there will be a deluxe OP movie toy?

for the megatron the feet really are mismounted, but it's only visible in vehicle mode then you can see that the collapsed feet don't tuck in under the turret but stick out the rear,

for the hips i think he can't rotate his pelvis but i'm not sure

What I meant by the hips was the ball and socket joints at the top of the legs. This might have only been true for the one I purchased, but he simply would not stand correctly. He would topple with a bend at those joints everytime my desk was jostled.
