Mine has arrived.
I love him. The Sunbow S1 credits head is on of course.
The trailer has a wee hidden tray for the spare heads and the energo-axe bit.
Instructions are fucking near useless being in black and white and so fucking small. I gave up after the first page and went my own way and succeeded.

I found a fantastic Japanese video on Youtube when I did it!
But yeah everyone else, this really is a fantastic figure, if you can afford it, you should buy it!

Perfectly reasonable, but I'm sure we have all had to return a product at some point! Admittedly returning it to Japan is a big old pain in the ass.

Well, he is an old man. It comes to us all.

If that's all it takes to take out Optimus, then megatron either has way more honor, or is way dumber than we ever thought.

Yep. Wouldn't catch me spending money on a fragile and complex toy just because a very shiny repaint came out. *attempts to hide MP-36+*

I've just seen a picture of this guy on Twitter so I'm seeking confirmation here... This new Prime is small, right? He's not in scale with the rest of the MP line now, is he?

My understanding from pictures I've seen is he's equal to MP10

I can't find the picture again, it must have been one of Twitters random 'thing a friend of friend liked' posts, but they looked to be standing next to MP-10, and the new guy was only up to MP-10's bicep. I hope I saw it wrong.

It depends on Megatron, I guess. If he's smaller than the second MP optimus, then I imagine it would put him more in scale with the autobots, as they were all chest height to him in sunbow.
But the sunbow megs they made is to scale with the second optimus. And I can't see them making him smaller than megatron.
But then he'd be too big for the cars.
This is why insisting on sunbow scale is obnoxiously silly, as sunbow scale doesn't make sense itself.

My Godfathers, they can't start a whole new scale in MP! That's madness!
Someone tell me it isn't so! Please!

Cool, ta! I don't plan to get him or indeed any other MPs currently, but the thought of them 'starting again' with a new scale blew my mind!

That's a relief. Just wish I could explain what I saw earlier! Am I imagining things?

Was it a picture of MP10 and MP01? something like this?  |

Awwwwww..... MP01 really was superb....

Post by Pinwig on Sept 7, 2019 21:41:44 GMT
Much maligned, but I like it more than 10. 10 has long arms and really weird lower legs, I never really understood why it had the reputation for perfection it did. MP01 is top.

DO NOT INSULT THE 10! DO NOT INSULT THE 10!!! YOU MONSTER!!!!
(I know what you mean about the arms, though....)

I hope I saw it wrong. Probably one of the oversized MP10 KOs Here's an image of MP-10 and MP-44 stolen from a thread on tfw2005, they're basically the same height:  |

Blimey, MP-44 looks amazing in that picture! Goodness.
Is there anyone on here who has both MP-10 and MP-44 (and MP-01...?), who can take some comparison pics? Dez'? Anyone? Dez'? Anyone? Oh, include MP Megatron as well. Anyone?
Dez'?

I know. I would loose my mind trying to transform him. I'm never getting one, I'm curious about the scale of him in relation to his peers. Scale is all important after all!

It's ok there buddy, I'm not upset. Ok maybe a little. I'm holding the tears at bay.
Definitely going to replace MP44, it's fine!
