At 15 dollars less than Strafe, if he's well painted and well molded, that's not too bad-it's really just a matter of perspective. After all, they're all rolling off the line at a factory in China.

I'm going to make my final decision on these when I see someone's video review and a couple galleries.



Comparing this mini MP Prime KO to the Henkei exclusives is not right. For anyone outside of Japan, they had to go through a secondary party to get them, which the cost was not retail. If you were in Japan, then those exclusives would of been a lot more cheaper compared to the $95 for this mini MP Prime, as you could by straight from retail. If I remember correctly, the Henkei exclusive seekers were around 3,000yen, so under $40US easily.




Convotron wrote:Yeah, the Gentei exclusives are pretty crazy in price as well as the exlusives like the crystal figures.

I'd like to ask those who have a MP Optimus, do you think you'd consider the mini MP OP at $95 if the production figures live up to the prototype and are well painted?


No word has been said if this mini MP Prime will have diecast. So that is another factor to consider about the price. Its also been pointed out that Hasbro's version of MP Primes were cheaper.

really unfortunate about the price, i wanted a black version of it but its at least 50% over my budget for something i already have the real mold of.
i suppose i can just start saving for the megatron, which will be worth it to me.

I think realistically any knockoffs like this should be set at about 70.00..they re selling tons of repaints so they'll make production money and profit..but 95.00 is too much..

why the hell would anyone pay more for less i paid 65 for my mp prime and there is no way that i would pay nearly 100 for something thats smaller and is in fact a knockoff, 3rd party companies are taking the piss man with with price and just copying figures.
