Eh? I tought you bought WFC Bee long time ago? Doesn't he mass produced & became a self warmer? Here in Indonesia, it's became rare item due to th popularity of Fall of Cybertron (which is ironic for me, because i didn't buy FoC Grimlock yet)

You're talking about the Beast Hunters voyager class, right? Yeah, i saw some review. But that doesn't stop me to buy it, because my habit of "Onscreen Character Collecting" in Transformers.

Hm... Nice tip. I'll try it when he arrives.

I have Classics Bee. WFC bee never showed up in mass here in Texas. By the time I was looking for one, they were long gone. Grimlock is awesome though, and I saw a video recently of an aftermarket company making G1 heads with blue or red visors for a retrofit onto him.

My feelings might be because I have never held the figure out of the box, and that they are just everywhere here. At every store I go to, there are as many Christmas Prime figures as there are deluxe figures combined...If the head were more on screen accurate I may have liked it more.

I'll have to look more into that. Like I said previously, I'm probably judging the figure too harshly.. so maybe a second look is warranted. Thanks for the tip.

I find the BH Voyager a really, really solid toy. He's big, beefy, his sword ISN'T a limp noodle, his articulation is pretty great... and his legs and forearms aren't hollow on one side.

He's a solid beefcake, if i may say so :D Too bad he's not included with his gatling gun. But Kotobukiya MSG can cover it somehow :D

Nice. I'm anxious to see him out of the box and doing something cool so i can get over my over-judgementalism of him. But seriously..Green windshields? :rolleyes:

Yeah, the green windshield is kinda off. But it makes sense in a context when i saw the Optimus Prime battle mask & BumbleBee battle mask; it came with "Beast Vision" feature, as in "flip the green lid if you want to hunt the Predacons". LOLs.

Aaaaanyway...

Did you have to mod it much for him to hold it? Cuz this is making me want Christmas Prime a LOT more.. (BTW, does he have a ball jointed head or just one that turns, there is a good reason I am asking..)

Funny story, though. The grip handle on top side of the gatling is not quite fit with closed arm mold.like jim. However, the bottom side of the gatling has a small peg, which is around 5mm (thus, it fits into Optimus's fist).

Just one that turns. FYI, the base of the neck is a flip panel to hide his head in vehicle mode, so more or less he can look up afterall XDDDDDD
