    Maybe it is a ko, but selling it at authentic price to get as much $$ as they can to rake in, but how would you prove to ebay real vs. KO to get funds back?

    So, was a Hasbro release date mentioned at SDCC for this figure of MPM Optimus Prime?

    No official commentary on SDCC regarding release dates afaik. According to @Prime135 , MPM-3's expected soonest by next week at domestic TRUs. No mention on dates for Prime, though a guestimate would be sometime in late August (as Takara's release is due September)

    @BWfan86 Look down below

    got my mpm bee and it is a very nice figure. he does have a lot of trouble standing but nothing a couple drops of super glue at keys points did not fix. now he stands extremely solid. i am very happy with him. great fun figure.

    Yep, he's scheduled to hit my DC next week and we're usually one of the last to get new stuff before it starts showing up on shelves. Prime is scheduled to hit the week after next.

    circled in red. mpmbee1.jpg

    just one drop of super glue on each joint. then move the part to work the super glue into the joint. every minute or so continue to work the joint until the super glue has dried but still allows movement of the part.

    once dried your figure will stand like he has a third leg

    edit: he will literally stand on one leg now.

    Have you pushed the knees all the way forward?

    The upper part you indicate should not need to be tight since there is a peg that connects that part to the yellow kneepad in front of it. This takes the lower joint out of the equation. I think thats why the lower joint is not a ratchet and the upper one is, the lower joint is intended to lock during transformation.

    I posted a pic on the previous page regarding this. On mine the knee pegs together very solidly. Of course tolerances will vary from figure to figure and I can totally see the ankles being an issue if they are especialy loose.

    yes the knee is tabbed in.

    that top joint still had enough movement that caused bee to move backward while getting him to stand straight.

    Does anyone have pics of how he scales with 07 or rotf voyager iron hide? He's a bit of a dilemma when scaling movie figures. I currently waiting for bee to drop here in New Jersey! Help is much appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks Actar! He scales fairly well with voyager ironhide as imo his leader one is too big so this will do :)

    The doors on the KO look a lot closer together in alt mode.

    Don't use superglue.
