But the highly possible hole in my pocket. That's no good.
Considering the price of UW Devastator a few years ago, MP Raiden can easily be double the price of that.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

The possibility does still remain that "Unite Warriors size" meant "Unite Warriors Devastator size", to make him proper MP scaled, but if that's the case, that begs the question of why the interview didn't just say that instead of the broader, less-specific "Unite Warriors size" since Devastator was the only UW toy of that height.

I just can't imagine them making MP figures not in scale with MPs. What's the point? Make it a Selects or a one off, no need to shoehorn them into the wrong line, they'll sell regardless.

To be fair, that's exactly what they did with MP Star Saber. He's completely out of scale with any and all other MPs.Emerje wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The thing about his size is that that one magazine interview described him specifically as being "Unite Warriors size", which at first glance sounds like he'd be the height of a typical CW/UW/POTP/Selects combiner, which in turn would make Raiden CHUG scaled instead of proper MP scale.
