I'm sure you can turn his head around.

Ah, so, "Cavalier" is how Takara's officially translating Roddy's Japanese rank of 騎士 (Kishi, "Knight").

Why are the windows so translucent? Urgh!

That chest makes it look bad.

Well, how would the car's driver see out through an opaque windshield?

I kid I kid.

Maybe the clear plastic for the windshield is just part of a production sample? It looks bluer and more opaque on the box itself.

You dont mind the screws diggin into his wrists? I am having quite a bit of trouble with that now that I see these in hand images. Takara usually uses coloured screws to make them as innocuous as possible so I am really surprised this was the best they could do, for an MP.

Wait till you see the back

New pix from: actoys.net

I suspect that these photos don't do the final product justice (also: mistransformed arms) -- but we get a size comparison with MP-9 & MP-26, and he is about Prowl size!

Definitely looks like trash, unnecessary

I dont think its that bad. But this doesnt look like the MP line I know where every figure felt like something essential you would be missing out of.

Oh, man, that backpack is painful to look at... shame the car mode was too wide for it's own good

I don't like that shade of red at all.
