    The Generations figure is really good; I can't see an MP being a huge improvement. I'd rather they focus on characters who have never had a good figure, like Dinobot.

    To be honest I think the little box it comes in is actually cooler than the mace itself :D 

    Not that I don't like it, but I can do without it and chain weapons with real chains have lost some of their appeal for me after I saw the articulated chain included with MP-36's mace. It's just so much nicer when you can actually pose the weapon without needing figure stands or something.

    I kinda hope that if they ever make a toy-inspired retool of MP Primal similar to some of the Diaclone MP's they'll give him an articulated skull mace.

    The hole on the side of his arm is for the mace. Just like the original mold, the hole provides a view to see the mace.

    TOP BANANA!

    That is amazingly clever and hillarious packaging, so glad Im getting one now. I agree the box it comes in is better than the mace itself!

    You might be right, it could be a a homage to that but, but the mace wont fit in his arm so it seems a bit...redundant.

    Happy Birthday, what an awesome birthday gift for you! 29...I guess that does put you at the right age to have got into Beast Wars as a kid.

    I agree that the generations figure is excellent. That being said; I require a Rhinox that is scaled appropriately so that MP Primal can ride it. This is critical ;)

    Looks like you can plug the mace on his arm. Maybe thats why the hole is there

    Anyone else got that one-hit-wonder Hard Hero Rhinox statue? That should scale pretty closely with MP Primal so will keep my urgency for an MP Rhinox at bay for awhile as I agree figures with no decent updated model should be prioritised.
    Although the generations Rhinox figure is very good, there are several ways an MP could improve upon it and not just by upscaling.

    The Hasbro Asia freebie box design makes me wish the extra was a banana for Primal to hold instead of the mace.
