Via ToyPlus Weibo we can share new images of the color prototypes of Iron Factory Legends Sized IF-EX34 Alkaid (IDW Helex) & EF-EX35 Merak (IDW Tesarus).
3P Iron Factory continues with their popular Legend Sized releases. They sure got the attention of fans when they announced their take on the complete IDW Decepticon Justice Division (or DJD for short). We have great images of DJD Helex and Tesarus in full colors. As a great extra bonus, we have a group shot with the rest of the DJD members.
The detail and poseabilty are sure impressive for Legends scale figures, but there’s more than meets the eye with these figures. Iron Factory gave them the ability to combine into one single big bad robot.

Hey everyone, looking to sell an original IF-EX34 and IF-EX35 if anyone is interested; I saw a few folks on the thread were looking and I'd rather give 'em a good home through here rather than eBay.
shoot me a PM if you're interested/want some pics! both in mint/near mint boxes with all the bells n' whistles (accessories instructions etc)

This exactly. Show-Z is very willing to help. Just keep in mind that they are away until the 18th.

You can still try getting in touch with ShowZ to see if they'd be able to get you the part. They've been willing to help get parts for things not purchased through them before but they'll charge you shipping on it.

I second that.

I say you're shit outta luck then.

Got it in a lot from Yahoo Japan, so that's not really an option
Phase Sixer
Best way is to go through your retailer.

showZ should be able to get in contact with IF. if don't get anywhere with them i might have another option.

Anyone know of a way to contact iron factory for replacement parts. Picked up a Vos and it ended up having to right forarms

thx!
as for MS bruticus toon chest, that's already been done and posted in the MS bruticus thread. so i don't think it's worth the trouble for me to duplicate the effort in creating one too.

There are nubs on both sides of most of the connector joints. Pulling it out straight away from the joint is very difficult. You'll have to pull and pivot (Similar to the motion of a toy's ankle tilt) in order to unlatch one nub and then the other.
Looks sexy, love your custom work, wanna recreate a toon chest for MS Bruticus for me?

I recently took apart the Combiner to display the team together and I swear I couldn't for the life of me separate Helex's "Upper arm" to the Combiners foot connection. Obviously I could've used brute force to seperate it but I knew something was gonna break if I did. I ended up unscrewing the Combiners foots and taking out Helex's upper arm out.
Anyone have this issue before?? Just for reference my set is the OG colorway the Combiner bits came with Kaon/Vox and not that it should matter but the Reissue single Tarn release w/o the Combiner bits.

Sigh, was messing around with this set since the new combiner pieces were shipped, and I found another cracked piece. Hard to get a clear picture of and it’s only visible when pegged in (peg circled in green).

really wish they could sort out the plastic they use. This is the fourth crack on this set of figures and probably the tenth or more I’ve found on their figures in general, after nothing more than leaving them sitting on a shelf.

im listing mine on eBay tonight!

Anywhere has EX34H ALKAID and Tarn in stock that isn't at a outrageous price?
TIKnTIN
thx! but what's wrong with where the claw arms are now? i'm fairly happy with how they are tucked away in the backside and don't find they are really visible from the front. also i don't have any add-ons to use with this other than what it already has.
since i want to customize it so i don't need to throw cubed tarn into the back of tarnation, i thought i might as well make some new back antennas replacements while i'm at it so tarn can have his dual fusion cannons back.

w00t my tarn-less upgrade kit mod worked!!!
pretty much nailed it first go and i'm absolutely pleased with the results. had to make a few slight adjustments with a a bit of filing and drilling for some of the connection points as the tolerance to fit things together ended up too tight. but it looks and works wonderfully!

The best way to do it is probably to set an ebay alert for 'iron factory alkaid' – though now that would be filled with the purple one.
