I'm never going to really understand what goes through DNA's designers. 

Toe fillers. Yes.

Rear vehicle fillers. Yes. Even better that they form heels as this mold really, really needs them unlike the deluxe and it's feet that shift back to balance.

Handle for the gun. Yes.

New axe. Sure.

Thigh fillers. Sure.

Part to attach the arm in such a way as to hide it away on the back better. Oh, okay I guess. I don't see why you'd detach the arm when you're using the handle to utilize the gun normally but okay. Options are good I guess.

Fake wheels. It makes it more accurate I'm sure but was anyone asking for this? At least they transform with the figure and aren't partsforming pieces.

Side panel "gap" fillers. Huh? Why? Where's the lower bicep fillers? What about the upper bicep/inner shoulder fillers? Who was looking to fill the side flaps on the legs? Did those really bother anyone?

And what are the two tiny red pieces for? I can't seem to find where they're supposed to go. Nevermind I found them. I just thought they were part of the fake wheel pieces but there's tiny spots that those wouldn't fill in the shoulder pylon area (I'm assuming to allow for them to rotate around on their round peg for transformation) that those tiny pieces will end up filling. I would imagine needing to glue those in as losing them would make the shoulder pylons look weird and I doubt they'd be very secure otherwise.

I just don't get why they'd fill in the obvious gaps on the thighs and toes but not on either part of the upper arms. They're just so obviously gappy in the shots since they're trying to show off the axe and the inner arms are blatantly showing off the gaps. There's so many kits for this figure now and not a single one of them addresses all of the "problems" with it. They're all missing some sort of filler for one or multiple things be it for the upper bicep, lower bicep, thigh, toe or vehicle rear.

I guess this kit isn't too bad overall though. It's just missing pieces that should be there. And heaven forbid I tell them that on their Facebook page as I'd be swarmed by their white knights who think everything they do is a flawless masterpiece and I should feel lucky that they're magnanimous enough to allow me to purchase their products. Even though lack of sales for a number of their recent products and feedback about their sets at other places would beg to differ about how good their sets have actually been lately.

I keep being told if I don't like it then I don't have to buy it. And while that is correct and it is what I've been doing, what good is that in the long run? If nobody ever tells them their faults and especially tell them on how to fix them, they how would they know beforehand that their kits aren't going to sell? I tell them before the sets come out so they have time to fix them like they did with the Siege Ultra Magnus legs (which I and many others pointed out that there should've been a secondary knee joint to which they went back and implemented). This way they don't put out substandard products on the market only for them to not sell, even while on sale for half price. 

But it doesn't matter, the people will continue to praise them while not purchasing their items. 

And what the fuck with the prices of their Fortress Maximus set reissues? They're charging at least $30 more each set than they should. Reissues should be the same price or lower since the sets were already used multiple times in multiple colors and have long since paid for the molds creation. That's some bullshit.
