Third Party company Cang Toys, via their Weibo account, have shared images of their new CT-CHIYOU 03X Firmament, CT-Chiyou-04X Kinglion and CT-Chiyou-07X Dasirius Purple Version.
This is a new take on the G1 Predacons, using a very interesting design, stylized for sure but still very recognizable as the classic G1 characters. This are special purple redeco of Divebomb and Razorclaw. Dasirius is a new robot/wolf character which forms the feet of the combiner (sold together with Kinglion/Razorclaw as a 2-pack). These new releases follow the previously announced CT-Chiyou 01X Ferocious purple version.
We still have no concrete information on price or release date, but you can see the mirrored images on this news post after the break and join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards!

That's a myth, now the true combiners have even more posability than the pantsformers, Thunderking is highly posable and the Ocular Max' combiners are even better in that regard, Maximus Pro has an ab crunch, butterfly joints, wrist tilt and rotation, more than 90 degree knee bend, etc

Let me answer your question with this. If my TK can't do this, I don't want it..

Ultimately this is your figure that you bought with your money and if you are not happy then I would contact the seller about it. What I or anyone else would do in your situation is irrelevant.
However, I would just ask of everyone in this hobby to be honest with themselves when it comes to expectations and what it is that we are actually purchasing.

That's a small misalignment of the ratchet teeth, nothing that will affect your figure other than the aesthetics

View attachment 30574335 Thanks for the example. Ya, mine is worse and the gold piece is almost 45 degrees outward. I can try pushing in but it just springs out that far without any ratchet…

I pulled mine off the shelf to look. What I was referencing does not affect the ratchet that you are talking about. Here's a picture of mine you can compare to. I'm looking at the angle between the gold piece on the arm and the silver chest, where the spudger is pointing. Does yours stick out further than mine? I can push the ratchet joint towards the body and feel it hit a hard stop, but spring back out very slightly, maybe 1mm. Not enough to call it a qc issue, but not perfectly parallel to the body.

EmGo's JTI should help you out:

What did you mean by "peg back in flush"? I made sure to move the shoulder joints down and the plug them in securely. I feel like the shoulder ratchet joints are missing one last "click" to make the arms straight…

When you swung the shoulder joints down from robot mode did they peg back in flush? 10:10 into emgo's video is what I'm referring to.

The big guy is very poseable.

How poseable is Thunderking in combined mode? (Especially curious about the legend size)
I appreciate combiners inherently are less poseable (especially when there's no partsforming) but I'm curious/tempted.

Hi everyone, first time poster on this forum.
I recently got back to TF collecting and figured I should finish the Cang Toys combiner that I put a pause on 2 years ago. I picked up the Hugerhino figure but unfortunately after transforming him, I realized the two shoulder ratchets are weirdly aligned such that the arms can't be straigtened out!
Is this a common QC issue for anyone else for this figure? All I heard are great things about this it, and how it's the best piece of the set so I was really disappointed…
Could just be OCD, and it might not even be noticeable to most, but for the figure of this value, I expected close to perfection.View attachment 30573823 View attachment 30573822

Now he has to line up the opposite wall with 3 LongYans to balance it out.

I want to share a little mod I figured out about the wings. Sorry if this was already posted, but I haven't read all 1,000 pages. To me the wings sat a little low on the back. I started messing with them and discovered the black connecting hinge could be flipped around. This raised the wing just enough to where the colored part of the wing lines up with the shoulder, exactly what I wanted. It does put more stress on some parts, but I think I can come up with something for that.
