Based on the proto pics, his feet are die-cast. Good for the base balance but paint chipping nightmare in the future.

I'm sure the diecast in the body is strategically placed, but I'm always wary of it. Diecast in the feet is great - it helps ground the figure. But the diecast in the body has the potential to really put him off balance... hopefully those hip joints are hella tight.

Didn't MP-1 weigh, like, 5 pounds? Or did I just weigh him wrong on the bathroom scale?

He's a heavy dude, that's for sure. Shockingly heavy when you pick it up after messing with the other MP molds.

Man, that thing is a behemoth!
US is the only country that still uses the english system, isn't it? I think not even England uses it anymore...come on guys, decimal units are easier to remember, please drop it, as an engineering student, having two different units systems and one being so arbitrary sucks

For what it's worth, the metric system is also arbitrary, just in a different way.

This guy is prime for a Hasbro release.

It's really not about whether it's arbitrary based, it's really about the weird conversion factors. How much inches being a yard still puzzles me till this very day (yet I hear them two together in every football game). Same goes foot and mile, Oz and Pint, fl. Oz and gallon etc etc.

I believe UM is getting a hasbro release, but as the way it went for Prowl, I doubt the price difference will be worth the wait and/or the potential quality issues.
