Ok, I know that the MP version is more expensive. And more valuable. But I just wanted to know the difference, even if subtle, between them. OTHER THAN the missing trailer for the Newer one.

Does the MP-4 come with a removable Leadership matrix? And can it's mouth move like the Newer one can?

What kind of weapons come with the MP-4?

I forget which, but.. Does either of them have stiff shoulder joints?


--Im just trying to figure out which one I should get. (And I really like that removable Leadership Matrix from the Aniv. version.) But then again you just can't beat a Special Item like a MP. Still....gah!!

Hmm, I have a feeling by 20th anniv. you are referring to the DVD Prime.

If so the only differences to note are:

DVD Prime has short smokke stacks.
DVD Prime is missing all the nice chrome that MP has
DVD Prime is almost orange instead of the nice red of the MP.
DVD prime comes with a purple gun and MP with a silver.

If you are referring to the 20th anniv prime with Battle Damage:

20th has shortened smokestacks and has the battle damage details added in.

20th prime comes with a black gun and MP with a silver.

I think MP is more for adult collectors. The kind that will just stay in a glass case forever.
20th Anniv is more for play. Less of the shiny polished stuff, more of the sounds and gimmicks stuff.
