The reviewer was wrong, the "belt" on MP-22 (which Citizen Stack is missing altogether) is actually cartoon-accurate.

Image

I admire the 3P company ability to make their own toys, but when it comes to cartoon-accuracy and Masterpiece esthetics, Citizen Stack is not in the same league as MP-22.

Image

Ultimately, fans have options: either, neither, or both. So that's pretty great.

Yup. I heard that too. But I think Ben mixed the hip guard being upside down was from the original G1 UM.

While I do believe Ben is being honest, I would not call this a bashing review by any means. He points out a few flaws and expresses some disappointment, but he also says he LOVES this Magnus and that it exceeds MP10 in his mind. Far from bashing the toy, he's giving a ringing endorsement.

I agree. When looking at the video with the old G1 toy next to MP-22, it does make the hip guard look upside down. Thanks for the G1 animation pic! That really shows it.

As far as a comparison to Citizen Stack, I definitely get an IDW feel from KFC. Since MP is more about G1 accuracy, it would make sense that this almost becomes comparing apples to oranges, aesthetically speaking.

And I have to agree with Megatronus. Though Ben points out some flaws, the overall tenor of the review is positive, nay I say, GLOWING. I was getting more and more excited watching it. (I need to go back to the transformation sequence again. MP-22 looks Awesome, and is almost getting me into collecting MPs...)

In all fairness to KFC, they can't exactly replicate the character design right down to the nuts and bolts, that would get Hasbro nipping at their heels. Still, it's close enough that we can figure out who he's supposed to be, obviously. I'd say MP-22 for the Masterpiece collection, Citizen Stack for the Classics collection...if he was just a teensy bit smaller. He's one big fella.
