I don't know too many TF fans from Taiwan, but yeah, its a little harder to find Jap TFs in the US than it is here in Asia.Heroic Decepticonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017245701029351849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-35448870047085944122013-09-29T18:09:44.856+08:002013-09-29T18:09:44.856+08:00yeah, i agree with the observations.

FP's stuff are usually quite hardy and the plastic does have some flex - when more force than usual is needed, either a person is not doing it right, or well, something is going to break.Heroic Decepticonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017245701029351849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-40965496675027342522013-09-26T13:56:24.227+08:002013-09-26T13:56:24.227+08:00Minus a few differences here and there, it's a...Minus a few differences here and there, it's a safe bet that the vehicle mode is the Caparo T1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caparo_T1. It's supposed to be the closet a consumer can get to driving an F1 car; however, it's had a very rocky beginning, i.e. catching on fire during press test drives.<br /><br />Cool blog btw.

The only way that I can see someone breaking the windshield is if they actually force it to rotate it when it's being obstructed by another part. That also applies to any toy with moving plastic parts. If it doesn't fit don't 'make it' fit.<br /><br />kupnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-90652588749389555562013-06-29T08:05:45.096+08:002013-06-29T08:05:45.096+08:00hi, thanks for stopping by and cheers for the kind...hi, thanks for stopping by and cheers for the kind words.<br /><br />I myself find that I enjoy reading reviews a lot more than watching them too. Good that you have this figure. I think its nice and its probably the most stand out one (perhaps due to colour) among the other figures.Heroic Decepticonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017245701029351849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-99231300141238072013-06-27T17:21:44.892+08:002013-06-27T17:21:44.892+08:00Thanks for the fantastic review - I can't watc...Thanks for the fantastic review - I can't watch the endless video reviews at work, so your hard work is very much appreciated by those of us who like to read rather than watch!<br /><br />I picked up my figure by accident (the company sent the wrong toy) but I fell in love with it and decided to keep it.
