Yup - it's the most common QC issue with this figure: MP-28 QC Issues Thread

 

Any word on when Hoodlum will be released? I'm still deciding on getting MP-40 or hoodlum.

 

An updated prototype photo was teased a couple weeks ago along with FT Rogue (Arcee) but no actual street date yet.

 

You should totally go for hoodlum! Just look at that gorgeous alt mode, which only rivals the marvels of engineering that are sovereign and their beautiful springer:




Gotta say, FT are experts when it comes to amazingly looking alt modes.


Also, this entire post should be in blue.

 

Mine rolled ok, but I also got the reprolabels (it was 1cent at the time). Not the best solution, but it's the only one I can give.

Labels for MP-28 Hot Rodimus

 

Nice work by @songrobin

 

Awesome!

 

Mines rolls perfectly, everything lines up correctly if properly transformed. The only problem I have with the one I own is the back pack not tabbing in securely, it tabs, just not solid tight. His chrome has yet to fade, and I keep all mines in a toy chest.

 

When will this be released

 

That Hoodlum looks awful in alt mode compared to both official releases.

 

Still plan on getting him for the rest of my hotrod/rodimus transformers

 

I'll be getting Hoodlum without a doubt. FT always improves the aesthetics of their early prototypes.

 

Yes because koot is awesome

 

Put way , way in the back burner . Just like there acoustic wave , once Takara gets to it first , FT’s goes a different direction . As well they should because there hoodlum was far from good looking.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

"Different folks, different strokes"

I have MP-28. I'll probably get Hoodlum if reviews are good. I like that car mode. MP-28 (and-09) look smooshed to me.

YMMV, yada yada yada.

 

Also, we're comparing a piece of art to an actual released toy.

If there's anything that the recent fiasco with DX9's Gabriel has taught me, it's don't count your chickens until they've arrived from the (water-soaked) factory.
