Figure Note:
Stop-Motion Transformation of Shigeru Ningyo Do SND-08. Interesting transformation, great articulation. I was surprised to see an “X-Transbots” flap seal sticker on this. Not sure what the relationship is. Or for that matter what was SND-01 through 07? Never heard of these guys before. I was very skeptical when I first handled it, but as I sorted out what goes where it grew on me quite a bit. Odd scale when you’re used to either MP or Legends. This is more of a CHUG scale, but much more complex and MUCH better articulated. He actually has hinges in the tops of his thighs so he can truly achieve the superhero landing pose. Also he has two lift arms inside his abdomen - one on each side - that can not only allow for an ab crunch but also allows you to lift one more than the other for an ab TILT. Very nice. He also comes with some swappable hands that are molded into different hand poses. Also he comes with some wrist swords a la Prime from the movies.

Some notes on the transformation: The tires get in the way a bit for flipping over those little blue panels. You have to set the wheel mount panel JUST SO for the white flap to line up with the blue shin piece. Also be sure to collapse the shins all the way down for robot mode. To unlock the backpack you have to pull those red panels and their associated dark grey tabs out and then rotate them straight to clear the tab holes in the dark grey back armature. I tried to show it, but it was beyond my format to show it properly. Also do NOT forget those little red side panels (that lock his abdomen sides down) going in either direction. They are not in the instructions at all.

Production Note: All the upper body stuff was with his legs in my orange vice. I’ve become quite fond of that vice. Nice to do a figure for once that ONLY has two modes.

Viewing Note:
If you want to follow along, I recommend skipping to the speed run and using your , and . keyboard keys to advance by single frames. Every step of the transformation is documented in the frames of the video, in what I consider to be the best sequence. With minimal rubbing and minimal parts-parking.
