Preordered mine from TFS-Express. I've been waiting so long for this guy to get reissued. Easily one of XTB's best looking figures. If Fans Toys announces theirs this week, there's a good chance I'll pass it up.
Got the same piece but I picked him up used over a year ago. Paid a premium for him too. Like double what I could buy him on ShowZ today but the MMC wasn't much cheaper at the time. This around the time everyone was going nuts for the brand new at the time Hasbro version and everything Cosmos was expensive. The Legacy used today is more expensive than the XTB at ShowZ. People seem to geek out over Cosmos. 😂 I like him a lot. Nice and large too. He's a chunk. I never liked the G1 version but my XTB has grown on me and I'm glad I got him, even if I paid a bit much at the time.
I saw someone glue an eraser from a pencil to that panel on his chest so when you press it the head pops up. Kind of an ingenious solution to a finicky mechanism.
I just got my copy of the reissue Klaatu & I LOVE it!!! My only other Cosmos (MMC) now lives in alt mode but I didn't realize how "off" he is until in got the XTB version...f.y.i. I used a small piece of paper towel for friction to keep those foot flaps tabbed in...I don't see how any company can top this figure for this character...
Glad I didn’t pay the late tax on this guy. Finally got mine from BBTS today. Awesome figure. But yea the sliding flaps don’t tab into the foot very good on him.
My ShowZ order on him just hit the US. Can’t wait for it to arrive so I can sell the Hasbro version before the reissue come out at the end of the year/beginning of 2025.
I have had this figure as my definitive Cosmos for sometime now and I love it. I even bought Barada, the blue (Go-bot Pathfinder) version since I loved the figure so much. Now if they would just release a Sliver version to pay homage to the old Sci-Fi UFO films named Nikto to complete the "Klaatu Barada Nikto" phrase, I'd throw my money at them for that too. Great video and thanks for the comparison.
Great video loving the figure too, swopped my toyworld version in bot mode this guy. I didnt notice the stripe on the foot can be flip - thanks :) Was that a tracks voice you kept doing at the start lol :P ?
Nice review but I don’t see enough of a difference to pick up this version. I have the original version and the blue one and I love the mold. Great figure!
You, like so many others, do not have that finicky shoulder transformed corectly. If you look. There is a groove for that yellow wonky pegg to snuggle into. Changes the whole thing. Trust me. The shoulder then works great with no finickyness.
Definitely one of their better figures. I have one the originals from years ago. As tempting as this is, I'm gonna wait to see if Takara or Fanstoys take a stab at it.
@tydiriumhanger1320 I do remember reading Fanstoys has designs for EVERY G1 character. Soooooo, now that Xtransbots is releasing this, I wouldn't doubt a FT reveal sometime soon. There could be some hesitation because this figure is that good.
