    That would be great. Thank you. Are they about the same height?

    Still need those articulated hands, and I don't know whether or not to get the Powermaster Optimus Prime hands and head as well just in case...

    Out of curiosity, did you paint MPP-10's thighs silver. Looks brighter than the stock gray. Or is that just the angle and the lighting?

    I did indeed paint them silver, and my normal mp10's as well, I was never really taken with the stock grey and the silver just makes him pop a little more.

    Looks great. Did you take the thighs apart (2screws in the hamstrings)?

    I've been eyeing this guy for a while now and found one locally for a decent price ($130ish). Is he worth the money? Any common issues to look for?

    I only bought him to make some company to my Poseidon and the upcoming Doublevil, and I was impressed a lot by him, totally worth it!

    Thanks.
    Yep took them off and used a tamiya spray can on them (TS76 mica silver). Just have to watch for the knee ratchets popping out but other than that nice and easy.

    Thank you sir. Been thinking of painting the thighs as well but was afraid that I might be opening a can of worms if I unscrew those 2 screws.

    You inspired me to paint mine as well. Used metallic aluminum which seem to match the other silver trims.
    My apologies to everyone for hijacking the thread.

    EA150A2B-51A9-47CE-BF05-1B908164D4EF.jpeg Has anyone had luck splitting this area?

    I have some concerns if the only screw holding things together. My thy swivel is looser than I like and I was going to thicken it up with Future but it doesn’t seem to want to split.

    This also brings up ratchet concerns when we get their God Bomber. Not sure if those ratchets are going to support that weight.

    Well, I did. Got Power Baser, the head and hands upgrade and the bonus matrix for $140 today. Ho-lee balls is he huge! Haven't a chance to fiddle with him much but damn, I already love him.

    It's like they scaled the size of this figure to feel in adult hands today the way the original did in a kid's hands in the '80s. :)
