I have one on pre-order. I'm not fond of UC OP nor do I like MP OP much. MP OP is bulky, heavy, and difficult to pose the way I want without it falling, and one of the feet falling out. It's VERY annoying. I take a LOT of photos of figures in dynamic poses so this mini version is a good choice for me. It won't be as heavy, and I can include the other bots. My only concern is - one that others share -its construction.

Wouldn't mind seeing some of those pics, there is a whole forum section here:

This is really cool and all...
But I can't help but think that one day a third party company is going to go a little bit too far, and cross the copyright/trademark line and then Hasbro/Takara will have no choice but to shut them all down.

If this isn't going too far I don't know what would qualify. This is an exact duplicate of a Has/Tak design, it's a blatant KO. Of course this isn't the first time the MP Prime mold has been KO'd.
