Me no fan boying this. If you don't like it well, don't buy it. I CAN afford getting one, still on the fence since I already own the original Hasbro + Reprolabel upgrade decals + the 1st edition CC by FP.
Maybe its just me but.............you won't hear me bellyaching about how white he is or something. I'd expect that fans by now would have accepted the fact that:
1. Japanese versions HAVE extra or different paint applications
2. Expensive (not including shipping of course)
3. Most, if not all Japanese versions of United/henkei, e-hobby etc versions always try to emulate either the original cartoon or the original toy's paint application.
Criticism for a figure not yet released? I find it hard to swallow but criticism for a figure THAT has already been released like MP Hotrodimus( will all its design flaws) that has already been inspected/reviewed, well that TO me is more believable.

Personal preferences aside, I'd rather hear a review(even if its from an newbie) what he/she thinks of the product itself, without the hidden motives or agenda.

Good that you got my point. ( I hope) 'cause none of my bloviating was per se, directed at a particular person but at the tendency in general of some collectors to slam some releases over some minute issues that makes it so irrelevant.
fenrir72 wrote:Before ending this, also the factor of price. MP-10 would make a prime example (pardon the pun). The Takara Tomy version IS indeed expensive. Hasbro is going to release a "cheaper" version, and yet we still hear complaints that it is still TOO expensive. WTF? You can't have your cake and eat it too right? If you cut the cost, expect to cut the content right?
fenrir72 wrote:So the complaint about the price of UM, well the price ain't not too far from the henkei iirc. heck now, in the secondary market, henkei Convoy costs like Y 9,000 MISB.
