I have this guy, and he is very cool. I don't like how you have the feet parts hanging low in vehicle mode, and mine was one that has clipped fingers. Apparently there were some safety concerns - early releases like yours have the fingers, later releases have them clipped short and blunt.

Yeah, the dreadlocks are a bit of a pain to deal with since, ironically, they're so inflexible.
In vehicle mode, you're supposed to push the dreads together so the left one overlaps the right one, and then his chest goes over them.

(trying to get them further apart from each other in robot mode, the left one on mine broke the day after I shot the pictures, so now he only has one. Boooo!)

There are three versions.

There are three versions. Cliped fingers. Long middle fingers And a revised sculpt where the fingers are shorter but still detailed.

Yours is the revised version.

Having only the cliped version myself. I would rather have this revised version.

He's a cool sculpt with a simple and fun Transformation. Like many of the dark of the moon deluxes. They initially strike you as kind of boring because of their movie appearance. But after you play with them a bit there is an intuitive and dynamic toy under that surface.

All we need

All we need is one with an "aliens" look. Maybe a motorbike or a sports car
