Are you ready for some more Omega Supreme for your collections? Get ready because we have the first look at DX9’s Gabriel (Masterpiece-style Omega Supreme) in prototype form for your viewing pleasure!
DX9 shows us a great alternative to Fan Toys Terminus Giganticus, and we are sure many fans will be pleased that this Masterpiece scaled toy comes in one single set, ready to display with an impressive 22.25 inches (56.6cm) tall from head to toe. According to DX9 Facebook, a yellow ladder was added to the base form and the figure is now more integrated and stable, hence the slight delay in production.
DX9 Gabriel is available for pre-order via our sponsors for $279.99 and it is estimated to arrive on November, 2017. You can see the prototype after the jump and then sound off at the 2005 Boards!

Thanks though for the suggestion. Unfortunately already checked before and I don’t have it.

Possibly a dumb question, but have you looked in the crotch? Yes, I'm serious. Could be stowed in there. This piece flips up and there's just enough room to put it there.

Probably ShowZ can find it for you even if you didn’t buy from them, they found one for me. They will want to be paid something for it, but I think it’s worth trying

Sold and shipped by a 3P seller with crappy feedback. Hope you didn't go for it…

Are you talking about the ko Downscaled version from Pangu Toys? I can’t imagine the original DX9 mp size figure for 110 shipped anywhere, but if so that’s amazing

I got mine from a fellow board member here, and when they sent it it didn’t have the alternate face. They couldn’t find it either after I noticed, but they were super nice and the price I got it for was amazing so the figure was worth it even without the alternative face.

Did you double check the packaging? I thought I was missing mine but it was buried in there

Anyone is looking for a sealed DX9 Gabriel? Particularly in the west coast as shipping will be easier.
Please message if you are interested.
xKAINxCAINx
If anyone has the alternate face that came with Gabriel, and wouldn’t mind parting with it it please feel free to message me.
With that said thought I’d post some more pics of this incredible bot.

many many moons ago i was bored and took mine apart to lube it and see what was going on in there when i first got it.
but i always felt that if there was an issue with the springs and hips. it was just better to stretch your existing springs out instead of swapping them for some random spring.
yes a stiffer spring might fix the problem right away. but i don't know how the plastic will react to the added pressure over time. it could just shear that screw head off mid click. i have seen that happen before with other things over the years with the titans and people trying hip fixes outside of the dna springs.
but a stretched out spring should do wonders for a loose ratchet hip.

Not my vid. I just had the exact same problem as the guy in the vid. The springs were compacted so much that they did not behave like springs at all. Stretch them out sufficiently and they should start behaving properly again once you reassemble.
It feels so much better when they are fixed.

No after watchin his vid I think mine are also just super weak. About to start disassembly now to visually inspect mines.
Hot Shot.
Wait, the ratchets are missing? I haven't taken mine apart yet but I assumed it was just weak springs.
DinobotSludge
[Edit] mine behaves and sounds the exact same as yours does in your vid! I an gonna start disassembly now to inspect it.

Did a mini-shoot with my Gabriel at the insistence of a close friend, trying to approximate a comic panel found online. Panel in question appears to be from the "All Hail Megatron" IDW series but I know nothing beyond that.

Here you go buddy:
Heavy/Scratch: – DX9 Gabriel (not Omega Supreme) fix DIY master thread
I had to do some of these myself. I took apart his hips 2 times because i kept stuffing up reassembly.
Here's a video I was referencing when fixing thigh ratchets. Except I didn't buy new springs (couldn't find any), rather I just took the existing ones and stretched them out then covered the ratchets in silicone based libricant, then reassembled.
lilcarus
is yours giving you any issues? from what i remember it was just the knees that would come frozen because of the storm. but those days are long over with.
so if you hips are clicking and the arms move you should be good to go.

I just bought a DX9 Gabriel. Does anyone have links to the posts for the known Gabriel issues? I know of a shoulder fix tutorial. But I couldnt find any tutorial threads started for other fixes, such as disassembly to access the waist so we can lube the waist to make it less scary to move.
