I don't come around these parts too often but since the recent purchase thread got neutered in the main section, came by to drop these pics:

Now I just need some Hovertanks!

This figure is pretty fantastic overall, just like the rest of the KC figures. I saw some hate as I glanced through the thread but to me, the 1/12 figures are the gems of KCs products. Way better than their mechas and the best figures ever made for the characters they've done so far.

Not sure if it was mentioned before but most KC figures have an unexpected feature that most companies wouldn't bother with, which is another thing that sets these figures apart. This one's backpack actually opens up and while it doesn't fit much, it's enough to fit an extra faceplate or optional hands. Pretty cool!

Thanks for the pics. I still have mine in the pile of loot at bbts. It’s giving me hope that maybe a couple other characters might get a figure

Great pics! 
I didn’t know about the opening backpack gimmick, so thanks for informing. :good:

Is it shot angles or does it seem they went back to the original "skinny" leg regult and also reduced the size of the small and large missile attachments?

The original teased attachments look larger to me....and the small missile pods looks different too...

Yeah, that's really weird, those lower legs on the two versions do not look anything alike.  I'll just call them the "red stripe" versions, and they look much thinner.

Markings aside, the darker part near the toe has a completely different width, giving it a much shaper angle, and the portion just above the knee joint is much thinner where it attaches to the hip.  Also, the lip around the edge of the toe looks thicker, and some of the panel lines in the lower leg are entirely different, stopping with a panel line cut crosswise over the front of the ankle, rather than ending into the gray portion above the ankle.

I had to look really hard to spot the differences and wondering if its due to the camera, but this encapsulates it.
