I got mine yesterday...great little figure! I found that if you push down on his head before you press the release button, it's a lot easier and you don't have to use something other than your finger to do it. By pushing down it takes the pressure from that spring off the latching mechanism. Not as dramatic as letting his head pop up, but probably more gentle on the figure and your fingers.
Great review and I think I might just go in on this figure. I like what X-Tbots has done here. Except for needing a tool to pop the head, it seems quite nice. Thanks for sharing!
The fact that his head springs up is nice, but I feel like it would work better if the whole blue portion of his chest flipped down for easier access to the button.
I finally picked this up but I got the blue, female version (Barada). I usually go for toon accurate look but the blue just looked so good. However I much prefer the name Klaatu.
*@Peaugh, does he have thigh swivels?* It didn't look like it, especially since you didn't show them assume he didn't but I'm just double checking. Best COSMOS to date! The faction symbol gimmick, popup head, transformation, double hinged elbow/knees &.finally a GOOD Cosmos with bicep swivels! LUURRV ... Great review bro!
Peaugh, odd question here but hope you have suggestions. Of any KO that's out there today, which one(s) would you say are IYHO the best and a must have and under $100? I've watched your channel for awhile and others who do KO reviews and I would like to buy one but I've seen quite a few great ones. Any ideas would be awesome. Great reviews too!
Do you know if they are going to be releasing two versions of Klaatu? The initial pics I saw of this figure had him being a lighter green. They did the same with their Boost figure.
Thanks for your review. Tough to decide between this and ToyWorld's Spaceracer. Question on the Autobot symbol....... Did you buy it pre-cut (split down the middle) or did you do that yourself? If you did it yourself how did you line it up and what did you use to cut with?
Love the yellow paint but the green is a bit too dark, the toyworld green is nice but they chose gold so kinda stuck...wanted that G1 look. #onthefence
Great review. Question. Can the faction symbol part/foot flip piece stay in green (rather than white) in alt-mode? Just wondering because I would want to place a symbol on his chest and not have the white stripe showing in alt-mode. Thanks.
I really like his size, but I really don't like the way he looks. I was tempted when I saw the cow, but I could get one separately to go with my TW Cosmos anyway.
I don't see see it in the comments, so I'll just put what most of us are thinking: "...thin and stiff...", that's what she said. Anyways, nice figure. I always felt like he was an under-used character.
