A simple Google search for "3rd party Ratchet/Ironhide" shows some far superior designs. Has/Tak have got to seriously question their standards when 3rd party companies start making better versions of their own characters.
Maybe some people don't mind this design and would rather have an official one and support the company that created those characters instead of buying from someone whose infringing on another's intellectual property and slapping a reprolabel symbol on it after word.
That's basically why i'm getting this one. I'm not against 3rd party stuff, but in the case of Masterpieces i will always buy official figures when i have the choice.
Ditto!
If given the choice between tofu steak and Kobe/Angus steak, I'd take the latter anytime!
Plus, at least for me, none of the third party Ironhides look G1 enough.
Not TFC Ironwill and Medic
Not Voodoo Robots Animus and Salus
And definitely not iGear Weapon Specialist and Medical Specialist
They all have something really bothersome about them, as does the official Masterpiece, so why bother with anything but the real thing?
