WOW! How did you get such a good price when the reissue is only £100? In any case, good on you!
Here's my question for you. If they were to make a new Megatron, would you actually sell your Appolyon?

I have no idea! I just kept relisting him on eBay and eventually someone bit. That is a very good question, I bought Appolyon as I felt TT would never do a V2 Megs, however the Shockwave release has had me seriously rethink any 3rd Party figure. I suppose it would depend on how he looked, Appolyon has his faults but he's still a very hard act to follow IMO.

I think that last sentence conveys my feelings the best, but in regaurds to the 3rd party market as a whole. Its a very hard act for Hastak to follow. I look at all the amazing figures revealed at the recent 'con and I think "amazing". Then I look at Hotrod, and all I can think is "lazy". Given the weight some fans out on it, official should mean something. But it doesn't look like it does.

The problem lies in trying to achieve show accuracy, the show's models were drawn as minimalistic as possible, so it therefore has no kibble, which means the car mode must now be folded up and stuffed into his body, which leads to compromise. I imagine that if they could have had parts of his car attached to the rear of his legs, he might be quite a bit better, but that wouldn't be show accurate, so you get this

I would think that way, but alas I find that it sticks out too far for my taste.

Are you kidding? It sticks all the way out; 'cons on the other side of the world could trip over his backpack

What you always do...
Turn death into a fighting chance to live.

I understand, though, that with the title of "Masterpiece," expectations are a LOT higher, and there have been some amazing successes so far, but that just can't be done with every character model. The 1986 characters especially seem to have a hard time reconciling cartoon models with largely minimalistic kibble and arbitrary placement of vehicle features with a toy that functionally transforms between one mode and another. MP-28 Hot Rod looks great from the front, which is about as good as I need. Also, remember that the camera adds about 20 lbs. That backpack might not be so prominent when viewed in hand. I missed out on MP-9, but now I'm glad to have a chance at a lower cost alternative in a better scale (for Hot Rod, at least).
