Ah right, I didn't realise it'd been brought up already. Stop moving posts Phil! Phil should have put a note in he'd moved them. Sorry.

Have we all had a good drool over the lucky draw MP36? I genuinely can't think of a worse thing to cover in chrome

Yes, Zardoz probably would buy that...
To replace the one those horny ladies took off him...

I think it's pretty nifty. As a statue as opposed to a toy.

I always thought the point of gold Lucky Draw toys was not to have something to play with and transform but something to point at and say: "MY BALLS ARE THIS BIG." (for the lads). I'm not sure what female fans would say.

I always like the idea that some random Japanese kids win these occasionally and just treat them like any other toy, bashing them together and throwing them in their toy box. Maybe they sometimes turn up in second hand shops as mostly unpainted plastic with flakes of gold, like a poorly looked after Nugget.
Rock Lords, the socialist transforming robots line, distributing the gold plating instead of saving it up for the lucky few!

Good Lord. It should come with a free cage to prevent you from touching it.

My MP36 is still in his box because I knew I had to buy him, but didn't really like him. So do I flip that now and pay even more for this one? I need to see some in hand pictures I think.

If it has stayed in the box then I would suggest selling it and using the money for something else rather than almost the same thing again!

No the problem is it's too Sunbow, I hate the face, I wanted a toy one. Which this is.
Besides, it's not like it's unusual I have unopened toys.

Oh. Now this. This looks like the sex.
As with Shockwave, I was put off the initial MP-36 because of the slavish adherence to the cartoon colours, and, having since held one in the flesh, my non-impressed-ness was justified. Especially given he was stood next to MMC's Tyrantron.
But now... with those colours... I may indeed break. I just hope that they've fixed the QC issues as well. Otherwise he won't be worth the inevitable four figures they'll be asking...

The transformation is fine if a little fiddly. The QC issues make it a nightmare though, to the extent that the 1st one was sent back and the 2nd is still in its box untouched. I bought the Wei Jiang version to handle and its been fine.

I know the head sculpt is that of the original toy, but it is bloody horrible.
