Not even! When I was posing Appy, I never once felt like an appendage would snap off. Not to mention, I can't get the Matrix in his chest. Not just, the chest windows won't close tight, but the first grey flap will only come halfway down. I mean, rightfully so because it IS Ultra Magnus. But still.

For the price I paid I'm kinda upset.

Well, when I pose Apollyon his left arm pops off from time to time (didn't upgrade the shoulder after upgrading the canon arm as that replacement joint wasn't fun), his hips separate from his pelvis, and his outer leg kibble falls off now and then.

I'd be disappointed too. All of the reviews of every other KO MP10 were pretty great I thought.

What's up with the KO MP10s being so damn expensive anyway?

I don't need another "MP10" (I have hasbro's), but that EVA and it's white trailer are damn sexy.

Shaj, I fogets, do you have that variant?

I got TR Prime today. And I like him. A SURPRISING amount. I liked this mold before, but I didn't love it. I love this figure. I know there's a lot of haters, and even understand the criticism, but I dunno. Something about him. And I can't wait for Takara's!

MP10 Mags is expensive cause he's out of production. MP10SG is like a hundred bucks cheaper cause he's still available.

And I gots all of them 8-)

Your poses with PMOP make him look a ton better than a lot of the photos I've seen.
Whew! I've gotta say I'm kinda relieved.

Coming from someone who takes much better pics means a lot

I you like PM Op (I had him.as a kid) I can't see how this guy could let you down. And if Hasbro's is this good, then Takara's will probably be damn near perfect.

That hurts Cobro..not even the Pootie Tang stand off?!

Also, he's growing on me. And the fact that there is no way I'm getting the Takara version at double the price. So I'll live with it. He's pretty fun in vehicle mode, I just get angry at his legs getting in the way of his legs when I want him to stand. That and mine falls forward and backwards easily.

OTHERWISE!

I'm glad you like him

Oh Cram, sorry! I wasn't even thinking of you photo essay. I was recallimg stock and Con photos in my mind. And the Pootie Tang stand off was awesome. :lol:

Sa Da Tay!
i would bet I'm one of the few who actually got that refference.

Now Ima gonna go find that post to look at it again.

Edit:

It's poses like this that make the weirdness of his legs go away. ;)^

And maybe my PMOP looks a little different because I don't transform his feet the proper way. They're on that hinge right? Well hinged back doesn't look right to me so I do it hinge forward.

I think I've had the feet both ways on him and Ultra Magnus, but I prefer hinged forward/flat.

I've gone both hinged and unhinged - I prefer the later... 8-}

I also love a good "soon" meme ;)^

Sealed. Mint. ish.
I'm starting a G2 collection and figured if I were patient, I could get sealed figures for relatively cheap since they're not terribly old and kinda niche even. Sideswipe here is actually my second G2 (got Bee a while ago) and I've kinda run into a problem. I can't.... bring myself to open them :lol:

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Sat Jul 30, 2016 8:13 am

You are starting a what?! Is it only going to be the G1 bots that made the transition to G2 or what? That's what I'd do..hmmm..I already have G2 Bumblebee and Jazz. I was kicking around the same concept not too long ago and almost picked up sealed Megatron and Starscream. I think that was also when I was contemplating signing up for the TFSS 5.0. I did neither. :lol:

I need some of those sound boxes the bigger figures came with.

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Sat Jul 30, 2016 8:15 am

So, awesome pick up!

Also, I don't think I could buy a figure I want and not open it. Unless it is Star Wars related as that's what I seem to do a lot of with them.

Well, I don't think he'll be as complicated as Surgio and I'm liking what BadCube is showing.

Hard to believe the Ark bots are almost complete.

Yeah, at this point, not counting characters on the way, who are we even missing? A good, proper Cliffjumper?

To paraphrase Starscream in MTMTE episode 1, "It has to be, he's the only one!!" Everyone else has been announced or is already out, except they guy who's needs to ease off his throttle.

Wonder if they'll call him "Ease" :lol:
