Ok!

10 minutes later....

OMG! Good thing I preordered this blindly :)

Also, PEAUGH has a review of the Mobine jungle ver.

Looks good but I don't know if I want to get this one or wait for the Fansproject "Fallen"...are they even still making it?

I don't like how the arm kept falling apart in the video.

[Chajee]

Honestly, glad I didn't get this. Those pegs are dumb.

on chinese TF forums, quite a few people already have it, and reviewed it. It's not so good a toy in my opinion after reading those, considering the price. The main body is small, and the combination is just like PCC.

This is my first third party purchase and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with the overall design and quality.

Here are some exterior box shots, the Chaos/ Paladin and manual.

Paladin is smaller and his transformation was easy enough without having to guess how parts move.

Building Chaos was simple and straightforward, after everything was attached he stood close to 8 inches tall (from the tank treads on his back to his feet) and is quite hefty.

Chaos looks great from all the little details on him.

After assembling Chaos, he had two gatling gun bits just hanging around so I just stuck them on the backs of his feet, which also provided additional stability.

Despite all the apparent bulk, Chaos was relatively flexible and could be positioned accordingly. Here, I tried having some fun with FOC Grimlock.

For a first time purchase I am very happy with the money I spent. The price wasn't too bad compared to a lot of other third party offerings. It is a nicely substantial figure with good quality plastics. Maketoys' Chaos Paladin makes a most welcome addition to my growing collection.

One of my favorite third party figures. Just awesome. Mine's sturdy as balls too.

[Transbot90210]

This figure is outstanding. I haven't had the time to write up a review yet but it will be an extremely positive one. The only issue i had was splitting the tank turrets bu teven then with a wee bit of force they came apart perfectly.

To all who bought, you will not be disspaoint. To those who haven't yet, buy before he sells out or you WILL BE DISAPPOINT!

P.S. I did the same thing with the guns, I added them on as heels.

[chovner]

Yeah I love mine as well, I think he looks awesome in all modes.

1. What did I miss, when did FP announce a Fallen figure?

2. If MT made the Fallen I highly doubt FP will ever make one. It would be like me making a figure, chaning my name and making it again...not gonna happen ;)

I tried splitting the turrets and got scared after it didn't budge with some effort.

[Transbot90210]

That was a scary moment for me as well. Once they did split apart (a little violently I may add) I did look to see if I broke anything and I did not.

For me the PCC ports all fit very nicely. Not too much force to remove or add a piece to the port. Well I will save the rest for the review but my initial opinion on this figure is that it is flawless aside from the turrets but i need to see what happens the second time trying it.
