Crazy Devy CDMW-26 Mane and Barrel

Received these today.... Another underwhelming offering by crazy devy. There really isn't much to this upgrade.

Also I noticed the shipping label was for $22.00. If it cost them $22.00 to ship it and they only charged me $9.99, I think there is a flaw in the business plan!

Anyways, The barrel comes in two pieces and unfortunately for me, they don't stay connected. the smaller piece pegs into the large piece and mine just falls apart.

The lion Mane is ok, but I dont think it blends very well with the existing structure. Perhaps some repro labels will help it out.

Overall 4/10......Disappointed

The tolerance on the new connecting piece to even out the arms is also loose, resulting in droopy arm predaking.,...

Hopefully I got a bad batch!

Re: Crazy Devy CDMW-26 Mane and Barrel

I only have a small amount of G1 figures, even if I did have any of the combiners I would never paying 20-50 for just parts when I can get a full figure for that much. I am asking are they worth the price?

Sorry Guys, No Camera at the moment but I'm sure someone will review them more in depth.

As for worth the money? They make predaking pretty badass, but there way too expensive for what they are and Predaking is now the ultimate parts former.

Re: Crazy Devy CDMW-26 Mane and Barrel

^^ Thanks for the info...mine still hasn't shown up but it looks like I shouldn't be overly eager, either.

By any chance did you order the Omega leg extensions from them as well? Have they shown up? Mine still haven't and I'm getting nervous....

Just like the original... I can't figure out what that piece is though. Pictures?

Re: Crazy Devy CDMW-26 Mane and Barrel

Didnt order the omega parts, Im actually not ordering anything else from them, pretty disappointed overall.

As for the connector piece, it's just a small snap on connector for divebomb to make his arm the same length as the other arm but its not a snug fit and as such causes droopy arm symptom. Hopefuly thats just mine, but I doubt it.

The gun barrel falls off if I look at it wrong.

Sorry no Camera right now so no pics but someone should have some up soon

just got mine today (finally had the time to go to the post office to pick it up)

btw....mine is also $22.00, but keep in mind that it's shipped from hong kong so $22 is most likely HKD not USD and $22HKD comes to about $3USD

so, there is no flaw in the business plan :P

i havent opened mine yet though
