I got my pink fish today. Yes, hands are tiny (head too). Difficult to have sturdy articulated fingers. Bigbite is really nice. Shape is plain everywhere. I am also qurprised by the size : tall and bulky. Articulations are fantastic. This set gonna be impressive, great line up. Can easily fill MP line. I also received 4 Hades members : good too but it's like TFC passed a gap with Poseidon since. Doing monster is probably easier than real shaped altmodes, but the difference is noticeable. I do recommand to get Poseidon set, so far a great combiner to come. Lejam, how good are the combiner ports for the Hades figures? Still the energon type right? |

Lejam, how good are the combiner ports for the Hades figures? Still the energon type right? Yes, same port as usual. I didn't combine them yet, just Transformed in altmode. Design of Hades is better than previous combiners but altmode are still "vehicules carrying robot mass", specially with jet / plane altmodes, But we are far from Uranos, very far. TFC was more inspired maybe by doing monsters : Poseidon set is a new turn in term of everything. My only "complain" on Bigbite is about ankle tilting : it's very few. But all the other articulations are top. Poseidon members line up will definitly rocks the shelves. Here is a quick crappy snap I took yesterday when unboxing the fish :  |

I commented on the picture on your Facebook Chogoking page. I love how thick, massive and chunky big bite against MMC Mirage!
Are you working with TFC too now Lejam?

Haha I would like to work with them but I don't have time, my schedule is nuts : OX Perfection Series line has a lot in the pipe. Aside packaging, I have a model to complete (sculpt) and another one to do. This is just a start  I have a personnal intention to design some models for OX PS, this is frustrating to not share in advance... Hope you can understand  Anyway, I noticed that new pair of hands were teased with Hades Aiakos :  Minos already came with a pairs of hands with pointy fingers :  About Bigbite, too bad you can not attached the gun on shoulders or on backpack. |

Lejam, you're working on Jazz aren't you? Come on, spit it out! You are talking about music, right ? LOL, you know what I'm talking about  I just love robots with blue faces. TFC really nails the Hades figures this time! And the harthingy spear is pure icing on the cake!!! |

I connected them together. Energon ports are techno from the past now... Too bad TFC didn't move to CW ports... (Glad Poseidon is)  Thanatos instruction show the mirrored transformation (left legs instead of right). The way they show us to keep threads blocs in place (right side of tank) can not allow to plugg the knee in correctly. I observed the pictures posted above how the guy managed this. That makes a very large (front to back) leg... Anyway, Hades is a good combiner imo. Poseidon is certainly the combiner champion this year (over TW Devastator). Bigbite is giving a set up very promising : crazy articulation, quality, design... Everything lock in place, from altmode to robot, no hollow part, plain shapes... wow. I hate coloured plastic clear part when mixed with plain colors (candies !) but here it works perfectly. Some people "complain" about the lack of paint apps but check out the sculpt details (creative, sharp and follow nicely the shapes). |

Thanks for sharing your view on the Hades bots!
BTW, I love how the clear parts are included for the Poseidon bots. The placement of these parts are done tastefully and enhance the aesthetics value of the figures - well, at least on Bigbite anyway.

I wonder if the hinges mean he can have his cannons pop down over his shoulders in robot mode? Then he really WILL be a Blastoise, hah. Still, kind of an ugly mother at this point (not that the monster modes have been particularly nice looking on any of the other figures), but this kind of guerilla photo at a bad angle isn't the sort of thing I'm going to make a final judgement on Looking forward to seeing more. Hopefully the second sharkman figure will be releasing fairly soon since we've seen final painted/colored pics of him already. |

I do hope it's just the angle of the photograph. I mean, the legs seem to be too long for a chelonian (although the original figure had long legs too), but if TFC can produce the combiner port in pink it would help immensely.
Quin, do you notice any stress marks on your bigbite, particularly on the chest panel?

Quin, do you notice any stress marks on your bigbite, particularly on the chest panel? He's got some very small stress marks around the hinge, the joint is VERY tight. Since noticing them I've been more careful about where I grip the panel when moving it and the stress marks haven't gotten any bigger. Other than that he's practically flawless. |

Still not clear enough photograph to draw out a conclusion. Still can't tell if the turtle legs are articulated or not. I would have to assume so, as on the original figure, the front legs make up the robot's arms. EDIT: At least now we know that the back cannons don't protrude out THAT far.  |

Oh so beautiful!!! Is the white prototype arm Tentakil? It sure looks nothing like Seawing.
