I actually think a Daniel release is kinda teased on Spike's box since the rendered head looks a bit different if I recall correctly

I picked up this set. I ended up painting Daniels head, to go along with my Spike, and Carly exosuit figures. The set isn't bad for the price, if your intention is to add a Daniel to your collection. But if you are wanting it specifically for the sword, it isnt worth it. You can just have someone print you off one instead.

the exo suit is surprisingly okay in hand, I like the engineering of the arms where they have a swivel in the ball joint socket for the transformation, which is something I don't think I've ever seen in a toy before in my life. The only thing I dont like is that the wheels dont spin and the heels. In any case due to the head clearly being Daniel, I'm just gonna tell myself that Daniel got a prototype suit and that's why he looks different since I doubt Hasbro is gonna do a rerelease of Spike with a different head
also as you can see, Daniel's gun fits nicely into Spike's hand and I'm going to be displaying Spike with it from now on.

How the hell did Hasbro make a better Exo-Suit?

That head and those arms are pretty bad on the DNA one, glad I ended up canceling my order for that kit

Comparison between the Studio Core Spike & DNA Design's Daniel

Got it in hand. Interesting design for Daniel. I dig the transformation better than the official Spike. Think I'm going to keep both of them though because the headsculpts of both do a good job of telling you who is who and I can just convince myself Spike put his son in a different suit for his protection

Considering getting this in part so Spike and Daniel can be different molds but both be the exosuit, but gotta say, what is up with that head? Doesn't even look like Daniel.

when the figure is around 67,99 here and the upgrade kit cost 59,99

If Swoop doesn't come with the swords of the Dinobots, then I hope that those gets released in due time…Say via a "X" Bot with a weapon pack?
Been awhile since the last one with Centurion Drone was released so I hope the Makers keep up with this.

THIS WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN

It's to help create a more toy accurate appearance.

I've only ever bought 1 of something, so I'm not even sure if it's QC or just design problems in that he doesn't dial in the tooling to make things fit better.

Needs to be more than rumor if they don't want people to buy all the upgrade kits because they want swords. Hasbro already knows they are going to make the figures, so there would be no harm in confirming that they will be including the swords. The designs can be the big reveal when they do their fan first stream.

Too much work Ig? At least Hasbro did something that resembles a face on Spike

I feel the Grimlock kit was better for the price. Think we can convince DNA Design to throw in some foot fillers as well? I'd be completely in if they do! Put it on pre-order, but not 100% sold on it yet…

At first was not going to get it, Cause I already glued in my horns to slag, You know you can fill in the hallow parts on your own just need to buy the material on line. But when I saw you can add the horns to the shield. I would do. I did not care about sword much. Cause he never,ever used it in the show. Grimlock never used his either. Only one who did use one was Snarl
