It's pretty cool actually. They made the box so you can do this.
The stands and sword stores below the 6 individual boxes.

Looks like they put more thought into the box than they did Raiden himself.
And it would have gone well with the Titan class versions of Devastator and Predaking, both of whom are canonically Raiden's main rivals.Emerje wrote:They never should have made the Trainbots go from 6 Masterpiece scaled bots to a Generations scaled Raiden. It made no sense when it was first announced and still makes no sense today and caused a mountain of compromises. If they had gone for, say 16" they could have really fixed the kibble issues and those hideous leg wings could have been actual wings like on the original toy instead of a big chunk of robot on the side of the feet.

But as i am a fan of combiners, I fear that now I finally have him in a "stance", eventually the clips that wrap around to keep his arms in place will just give out. if you just touch them now in the slightest they unclip.

Then again, The MP line rarely scales with any others. Or even itself EG MP Grimlock.
Question: In light of the announcement of Super Ginrai under the MPG banner and if Raiden (and redeco Raiden) is deemed financially successful enough. Would you want to see the other Japanese series-only combiners get the MP treatment? Instead of the other Gestalts that are constantly reproduced in other lines.
