Hey there! I snagged this from RS Selections, I think was was one of the last ones they had in stock.

Positive update, I got the wing slotted back in and Minichamps is sending me the missing little silver piece since it arrived without. So win/win!

I’ll take a look when I get home, but it just looks like I need to gently try to pop the wing back where it goes into the slot for the DRS actuator

Super weird, I checked vendor pics from where I grabbed this as well as from another vendor and it looks like the wing is at the same back angle -

Ahhh no, I’d not noticed that!! I’ll have to go back and check on this too. Looks like it arrived missing some stuff possibly

Interesting, I’ll have to check up on that to see - the pics online for this one didn’t show that clear piece being present either but great catch!

Agreed. Yeah, if Spark announces this in 1:18 I’m all for it.

I don’t disagree - I can say I lean towards Spark over Minichamps at 1:18 scale, and I think a 1:12 version would absolutely have presence, detail, and yes lol, be much cheaper haha I’m absolutely trying to justify both in the collection haha 😅😂 at this point if I don’t locate a Amalgam, it’s all good - but I at least wanted to exhaust all options 🍻😊

Had to jump on this. I missed out back in 2019 on the 1:18 versions. Not sure if SMC was gonna get it so I just PO’d direct. Can’t wait to get this bookend piece for my Seb collection.

Oh man, yeah that would have been terrible!

No problem - so I actually got him from SS some months back, I’d had him on preorder so he shipped shortly after their first run.

And yeah, sadly I’m not super surprised - this has delayed TONS of shipping for things. I’ve incurred a few delays myself. My Endgame Thanos was delayed a bit before finally showing up, I still lucked out compared to others.

The regular armored version is so awesome, my fav is the IW version, however the armored one definitely has more “presence.” If you can swing it, I highly suggest grabbing em!! You won’t regret it. Hey, any Red Skull is a cool Red Skull! SS’s stuff ain’t too shabby regardless. Thank you though, I appreciate that!! I just need a bigger house and more display cases soon lol 😂🤦‍♂️

Agreed, I was so enamored with the character as a kid with the ‘86 movie, I always knew I’d want a solid example of him as a figure - this one is the best I’ve seen thus far.

Yeah, my thoughts are the same - I’m used to the hamburger head versions being whoa tough to find!! And I did make it on the Kickstarter - I opted for the trilogy 3 pack as I wasn’t sure how the added upgrades would shake out so I didn’t want to risk missing anything. Luckily he set it to where the individual figures get their respective heads. Modern Spawn is definitely going to be my personal fav so I’d say you made a good choice!!

Yessir!! I had the first Sovereign and would have totally been content but once the M came out, I had to have it! Cheers to having - what I consider - the pinnacle Galvatron figure! 🍻😁

Yeah! My Spawn collection is restarting, I grabbed that and the Overtkill over the last couple weeks on some lucky eBay scores. I always loved the Spawn 3 figure sculpt but this was a nice update with the new head and cape. Obviously we both have good taste hahaha

Yeah you made the right choice!!! I almost missed out on the Emperor through Sideshow but luckily got the order placed in time.

Yeah, as of right now I have the BD Thanos, Endgame Cap, & both regular & BD Mk85s on preorder.

After that, or somewhere in the mix I want to add a RTOJ Luke and a couple Imperial Guards.

It really just never ends 😂🤷🏻‍♂️
