>>7836365I can get the criticism for DX9 Breakdown, and probably that's why you can find him much cheaper than the $100 MSRP ($64 from BBTS, $70 from TFS). I've heard that Wildrider is better, aside from a medical case of bobbleheaditis.
But it does come down to the really good things I've heard about Fans Toys' two entries, and that they're both quite stellar. So I think it could be worth it to invest on that route, especially if I'm thinking of a combiner (with my XTB Overheat being snapped off the way it is, it's just not going to cut it).
I'm totally with you in regards to how XTB has been handling their releases. Gravestone got sent back to the drawing board for revisions, so they spend their efforts in the meantime making two new variants of their limbs. It does leave a sour taste.
