Hellooooo!!! Another update video for Fortress Maximus!
So we bought this upgrade kit of DNA Design. It is called DK-02.
It gives us new hands for Fortress Maximus, new legs for Cerebros and cannons for Fortress Maximus.
So this is the box. It is for ages 16 & up.
And this is the back side of the box where you see some product shots.
So, let's see his instructions now.
So, these are the instructions. They show how to place the upgrade kit.
And here you see some gimmicks of the upgrade kit.
Nothing at the other side. So let's see the upgrade kit from close now.
So we brought Cerebros in. We have already placed one leg to save some time.
My buddy Stefanos is near me who will show you how to place the other leg, Stefanos?
- Hello from me as well.
As you can see the new legs have different colour, they are grey.
It doesn't look bad because the figure has some grey parts as well.
To place the new leg just unscrew these screws.
Pull it out.
And leave Cerebros aside.
Connect this piece again.
Put the screws back again because we won't need the screws for the upgrade kit because it has another way that gets in.
Now take the new leg. Open this panel.
Remove this bit, it looks like a nail.
Place it in here.
And connect this bit again. Close the panel. And the new leg is ready!
As you can see there is not much difference appearance-wise, from the old legs.
What these legs offer us is that the heel and the toe can rotate so you can give him more dynamic poses.
The main difference is on the head mode. So let's transform him now to see the differences.
Rotate the heel and the toe, like this. Open this panel, completely.
And bring this bit up, like this.
Bring the toe up and bring the heel up as well. And all this piece, bring it up, like this.
Do the same thing to the other side as well.
Open this bit. Bring this bit up.
And it looks like this now. So, we have these extra pieces here on his helmet that give more bulk to it.
And here on the side, nothing sticks out like it was with the old legs.
So this is what the upgrade kit offers us with this figure. So let's see the rest of them now on Fortress.
Here we have put the other two pieces. We put the half again to save time.
First of all, this is the new cannon. You can collapse it inwards if you want.
It's an add-on, it tabs with a peg over here, if you want to transform into base mode you will have to remove it.
If you don't want the cannon to have it here....remove it...
Like this.
On his back you get some extra pieces from the upgrade kit, let me remove them so you can see them better.
Here they are. They tab over here.
And you can connect the cannons like this. And it will look like this.
Nice gimmick! At least they give you a storage place for them!
Let me put them back here.
Now the main piece.
Here you see the differences between the original hand and the new hand.
The new hand is a little bit bigger. And all his fingers have articulation.
The thumb can bend at two points. It can also rotate and it can bend inwards.
The rest of the fingers can bend at three points. One, two, and here on its base.
Also, they can move sideways! So, you can do whatever you want with the fingers!
He also has the typical articulation where the hand can bend downwards.
Another gimmick is these cannons upon the hand. Open this bit, rotate it, bring it down and extend the cannons.
And it will look like this.
So let me show you now how to place the new hand on the other side.
Rotate the arm to the other side. It has five screws. One, two, three, four, five. You need to unscrew them.
Oh, it doesn't have screw over here! Lucky you!
First time I see it. On the other arm, there is screw at this point, this arm here, doesn't have for some weird reason...!
Let me open it.
Remove the old hand. Place the new one.
And connect this piece back again.
Rotate the arm to the correct side. And the hand is ready!
So let's see now if the hands can hold the weapons from the previous upgrade kit!
As you can see the hand has this slot here.
The sword tabs well. That's good.
Close the fingers.
And it will look like this.
He holds it very good! So let's place the gun into the other hand.
He cannot hold the gun! :O
Obviously, these three pieces get in the way.
As far as I can see, I will have to rub them a bit so these pieces will get thinner and fit in the hand.
Not a big deal.
So, this is the upgrade kit. I think it is necessary to have it.
It fills many gaps that Fortress Maximus had, especially with the articulation of the hands.
I found it on e-bay for 53 euros shipped. Yes, it's a little bit expensive but you get better pieces for many things.
A very nice set! Stathis?
- Well, it's pitty that the gun couldn't get inside the new hands.
Though, the hands are much better than the old ones. They also have the small cannons upon them.
I liked the new legs on Cerebros. I can't say I am crazy about the new cannons on his belly
but the good thing is that you can store them on his back! And anyway, it's a nice upgrade kit for Fortress Maximus.
So this was the upgrade kit, thank you all for watching, see you in the next video, bye!
