Attention War For Cybertron collectors. Some Kingdom Galvatron copies have been spotted in the US showing a different shoulder assembly compared to the first figures available at stores.

So as far as I can tell, even on the "incorrect" version you can rotate the shoulders up so they are "backwards" but at the correct height --- all it shows is the silver pin cap.

This change if accurate is welcome, but I'm unsure it was that big of a deal anyway?

It's mostly for the sake of it being proper/not tweaking OCD. The CAD model on the back also shows the shoulders with the smooth surface on top and the ridges on the bottom.

Tangent: There's also a bit in the instructions where you peg the cannon treads into the pin hole in the rear, but that locks off the bicep swivel if you do that so most people ignore it.

This mold is bad anyway, fixing the shoulder won't save it.

Why is the mold bad? Pretty much every review says that it's good.

I'm stoked for this toy. Could do without the battle damage, but it's less obtrusive than others. He looks GREAT and EmGo's review sold me. NOt that I really was doubting. The shoulder thing is easily fixable or is being changed, so all good.

I guess it's personal opinion: his leg is too short compare to his body, also his upper body is really wide, almost same length as his legs...and with those very small feet..



I like TR's Galvatron's body proportion better, more heroics feeling.
