I really can't state enough how poor I think the MP-03 toy is "as a toy" as model plane it's nice enough as a static shelf-piece it's also fine as a toy - I could likely poke holes in what is wrong with it all afternoon. It's not like the redux version fixed much either - heck the iGear ones at least have better ankles.

So yeah is someone said you would like one of them as a display piece I say sure for something to sit in a case they look super nice - but since I like to play with my toys I just can't share the love tonight I'm afraid when it comes to that design.

But as I said before I see why people like them - they are just not my cup of tea.

I read somewhere that supposedly the TRU version is sturdier than the MP-03 release? This is my only MP seeker

The new Hasbro MP mold feels more like a toy to me. It has more of a plasticky feel to it. The Takara MP mold feels more like the pieces weren't meant to be moved around as much. The plastic feels more solid/hard. (if that makes any sense). When transforming the two, I didn't feel like I was going to break the new one every time I moved a piece of it like I did when messing with the Takara MP.

Check out my collection!
