1st and 5th gen differences

[THE X-MAN]

First gen tabs on the left. You can see in this picture why the later gens are so loose coming out of the factory. This was particularly a problem with the last builds of the infinite heros. With these later generations frames you'll never really get that orbital to be tight.
