I love the Concept Sunstreaker figure, though it is a shame it has that missassembly issue. For those unaware of the issue, the calf panels that form the headlights and hood on the alt mode are installed on hinged pegs that are facing the wrong way. Take a look at the vehicle mode at 28:47. Notice how the windshield doesn’t quite tab in all the way and that there are these small triangular notches on the hinges of those calf panels, that’s the missassembly issue. The notches are supposed to be facing the windshield to allow it to sit flush in vehicle mode, however most copies have that triangular notch facing a full 180 in the wrong direction. The fix for it is very simple though, just pop off those calf panels of the friction hinges, rotate the hinges 180 (so that the triangular notches face the windshield in alt mode), pop the panels back on and you are done. Now the missassembly issue is fixed and the windshield should be able to sit flush in alt mode.
Duuuuuuude...FOR REAL?! I totally noticed that and just assumed is was some sort of an air intake. I'm sure others thought the same. I'm ABSOLUTELY going to try this fix when I get home. Plus I'm pinning this comment cause everyone needs to know this and THANK YOU so much for sharing your wisdom👍🏼!
I'm definitely late to this party but if it bothers you at all Jose, the hinges that have the hood panels on them, they're actually not orientated the right way so there's a bit of a gap, but you can fix that by taking off the panels and turning them and they'll blend with the chest panel better. It's not overly noticeable but every copy has that
I say this with Love Jose... Stop Stop Stop the Peer pressure! I liked the cartoon as a kid loved the movie BUT as an adult collector I left My Childhood Nostalgia for the 80's in the 80's So Happy to have updated figures that actually have moving parts. I have intentionally ignored these new takes on old figures and DAMNIT Brother NOW I want Wheeljack .. I love you too much to hate you But You gotta be nicer to us older guys and at least make them sound Boring to own 😅😅😅😅😅. I have to pick on you just a little bit brother you're such an amazing person! Keep being You and imma sit back and shut up now! ❤
Dude, imagine if we had these awesome toys in the 80s! Our little brains would have literally popped LOL! The nostalgia factor is TOO strong nowadays. Sadly, I'm not a good enough actor to feign boredom so if I like a figure, it's totally gonna show LOL! But as always I appreciate you watching! 👍🏼

@@HobbieswithJose No problem. It took me a quite a long time to notice the issue myself. I’m just happy to help others out.

I have Wheeljack and that Sunstreaker. Just haven't opened them yet. Thanks for the review!
