Mine arrived yesterday. I peeked at the box, but it should be a Christmas present...
Nice job, Charles. Sorry to see your blue lion was defective. Hopefully Tad Moys will cooperate with the community to resolve any issues. Maybe I should run a test combination before Christmas...

Sorry to learn about the problems on your sample. Hopefully, you will get replacements.
Got mine yesterday, and still have to check it out.

My Initial Impressions of The King of Sexy Beast (Pics coming later)
Pros:
- Lots of metal content in each lion - Proportions of combined mode are fantastic in person - The resculpted faces look much better than the prototype - Clicky ratchet joints everywhere. - Ankle tilts in combined mode. - All the weapons for the lions are well painted and look good - Probably the best looking not-V guy toy made so far - Articulation is good, but not great. The elbows in particular need to be fudged a bit to get full range of motion. Furthermore, I would have liked to seen head swivels on the blue and yellow lions. - Firing lion fists = awesome.
Cons:
- The legs in combined mode tend to come off when you're posing it. I made sure the legs were attached properly and they do stay on, but if you bend them too far they will unlock. Furthermore, if you pull the leg a bit for posing it can slide off. Moving the hip ratchets are strong enough to knock off the legs. - There's no pegs or clips to lock the weapons in the lion's mouths - Paint QC various heavily on each lion. My green and blue are perfect. However, the red, yellow and black have paint problems. There seems to be a decent amount of hair painted on some of my lions. - The black lion is the worst offender in terms of paint and I'm going to be asking for a replacement. - Nothing locks in the tails they just fold up.
I'll have more thoughts as I play with this piece more.

Last thread was closed so Im starting this one cause people are starting to receive preorders now. I did have a couple of issues with mine which will hopefully be resolved. Excellent overall though, living up to the hype! Excellent review, as always. Hope you get a cost-free replacement for both the Blue and Black lions. It's clearly a mfg-defect.

Moleman, make sure the button behind the legs for the locking mechanism is popped out all the way, otherwise they will pop out. They will stay on but come off when bending knees. Try sticking nail under release button and pull to lock it in better. Almost positive thats your problem because they were designed to lock in securely. If button is not out all the way in combined mode, its in wrong. Cons: - The legs in combined mode tend to come off when you're posing it.

You know, I edit the video in white and it looks fine, then I upload and its way too bright. Must be something in the compression. I didnt have a big enough grey background for this review but I have been thinking about redoing it at some point. Most of it has to do with hard lighting, I havent diffused the light enough so it really blows out everything. I am doing a new review of a Votoms figure so Im testing new setup. Its always a work in progress. Thanks Edit: Video is down so as not to complicate things for them with the big company.

No worries, everyone who ordered will get theirs soon enough, it's just a matter of timing and process. Would it be possible to edit the title of the thread to disguise it from public search engine results? A title such as "Crazy Cat Review"? zozo-mag
