Third party company Iron Factory has updated their Weibo with images of their upcoming release for the Legends scale market: IF-EX 44 City Commander Final Battle Armor, which is an homage to the upgraded Ultra Magnus armor seen in IDW Lost Light comics.
According to Iron Factory this figure will stand 16 cm tall and loaded with tons of weapons. The 6-cm tall inner robot (IDW Minimus Ambus) can be stored inside the armor. A very impressive figure indeed for its size.
See all the mirrored images attached on this news post and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Its in the instructions? Like literally the first step shows you the specific yoga position to put ambus in to fit in the armour.
Super Mecha Dad
Got one from the latest batch at ShowZ
everything looks good so far, but I had a somewhat google resistant question:
can you fit lil' ambus into the chest of the armor
i was just fiddling so far, so maybe doing a full transform makes it obvious, but was pretty curious
I'll prrrrrobably get the "core magnus" bot whenever that drops

I know your pain, since I was in the same situation the other week (I was lucky and it was only a cheap product though). Contact your building manager if you have one, its possible they might have access to security footage of the theft that you could potentially take to the police. Probably not a lot will come of it but it is better than doing nothing at all. It is probably also worthwhile letting the seller know as they should probably require someone to sign for it so that this does not happen.
Another tip is to see if you can get deliveries sent to your local post office or parcel locker instead. Not sure how common the service is but its very easy and free where I live. Theres even a set of parcel lockers at my local shops which makes collecting them really easy.

Thanks guys! I see the photo from the local tracking, looks like someone from my apartment building took it. I didn't expect they would just left the package at the 1st floor mail lobby for anyone to take it when I'm in living on the 4th floor. Not sure what to do at this point….

@Theosaurus is correct. your package was delivered by Hailify
https://www.drivehailify.com/
and with the local tracking number, you can plug it in and see the delivery confirmation photos, which shows it left by your communal mailboxes for anyone to pick up and walk away with.

Looks like it is not reporting the last mile tracking. I imagine HAILIFY (the local delivery company) has its own tracking which you can use their tracking number with (The one in that part of the tracking, not the tracking number of Yanwen. That might give a more granular look at what happened. Otherwise contact Baba's customer support and they can follow up, its likely neither Yanwen or Hailify will be able to help you directly as they usually will only communicate with the sender.

Bummer, yesterday/Sunday my tracking showed it was delivered to me which is already strange by itself….my IF Ex44 and MS B18W UM armor never arrive. Just emailed Baba today…1st I ordered from their website. I've never seen a tracking which showed nothing like no state or address it deliver to. Anyone encountered such thing?

I don't think you'll regret it. He's pretty fun as a piece in general.

Ok I bought the bullet on this. $68 from showz and a $10 discount with points I couldn't stop myself. I don't really collect legends that much but the overall design is so cool I just have to pick it up looking forward to getting this little guy.
REMINATOR
So late last night, I finally pull the Pre-Order trigger on EX44 at Baba website for 64.99/free shipping. Since I also wanted MS P02 UM trailer (for MS B18w which I also need) and to qualify on their 10% discount for new buyer if spent $100, I decided to take that as my advantage. So it's like I'm paying 54.99 for EX44 in the end. Now the waiting…not sure if Baba will send me the MS P02 trailer first or wait for Ex44 to do in one package. I don't have the space, so the waiting is not an issue for me.
Can't wait for EX44 FG core cab to go with this guy. Like you said, I don't want to miss out Ex44 when the core bot is released. I'm weak to any core bot with red bumper cause animation UM has it. The irony, animation UM was never shown with a core bot but I always prefer Armor UM over All-in-one MP22 style, lol.

Iron Factory IF EX-44 City Commander (Final Battle Armor) (Reissue) – The Collectors Bay
Ordered once from them, it went well.
samuel rodrigues
Anybody knows where I can find the reissue in a Europe site?
BethCyra
Lol this was me!
The thing is when I saw their FG White Convoy/Prime I got so hype I hit the button.
Thankfully they just added the ten bucks back on to the account for all of us who purchased.
Totally respect fans who aren’t, im a White Convoy Magi person myself, but all I’ve heard is how UM might be the best toy they’ve ever made and the fact they are going back and making him work with White Prime? Yeah, couldn’t risk missing out on him lol.

Ideally, I would want the Powered Convoy (Delta Magnus) deco, but only if it comes with the normal head sculpt— I don’t want that SG zombie one. Even though it comes with smaller Magna Convoy, I would also want that original cab for the trailer, because I think the alt mode is more cohesive with it. I would likely buy the core Ultra Magnus figure regardless. I’ve never owned any armored-up UM before, anyway. I prefer that character as just a core white Convoy.
As for Minimus, I care not at all. If I do actually cave and buy EX-44, I would only keep the little guy if I could successfully grind off the mustache and paint over that garish green. Otherwise, I’d be happy to sell him on for the cost of shipping and a couple of bucks for the hassle.
