The fists/hands are being rounded off, just like they were in the cartoon instead of the squared off style they have been for forever. I actually properly hate that. When did that start?

So I see from the Galleries. I ain't opened Ironhide or Ratchet yet. They're both on the "Rainy Day Pile".

Uh, please don't speak for the fandom. It never works out well. It's what SOME fans want. However, as a collector of Maasterpiece since MP-o1, it's NOT what I want. This over simplification that's been occurring of late is NOT what I want from a line called MASTERPIECE.
Hmm. So it started around when the designer position switched from Hasui to Kobayashi (albeit, after the Tracks mold).Emerje wrote:Big Grim wrote:Ah. I just noticed this on Megatron but I see it's true here too.

Looking back it seems to have started with Ironhide.

Marvel's G1 comics had rounded fingers for the robot characters too, depending on the artist.Big Grim wrote:Microraptor wrote:How are "more accurate hands" an oversimplification?
Over simple as it is part of the over simple cartoon direction they're taking. Simple as that. They are accurate to the cartoon only. I'd have rather they kept to the more squared off actual ROBOT looking hands.

I am aware of that. Does not change anything. The over simplifying of Masterpiece is not what I want from this line I've been collecting from the beginning. I want them to continue to have the squared off machine-like hands of the past. I'd like them to continue to be dripping with detail. Not blank smoothed off legs like Inferno.
Just my opinion. I'd prefer the Masterpiece line to be what it has been for the longest of time. And that ain't a direct copy of the cartoon.

Re: MP hands, I don't care either way. As long as they keep the "Hausi" style articulation/build.

No. It's definately a design choice.Cyberpath wrote:Just for fun:

See, I love the second image of Scream. Just that little bit more robotic. I just looks better to me.
