The pic in the OP's post is finally showing, and hot damn it's gonna be huge! 

 

these guys seem to really have it out for MT this week.

 

I'm all about this.

I like this design more than the Hasbro version, but the smaller size, and higher pricetag put me off.

If they oversize all the MT city-bots, I'll be a happy camper.

 

Was thinking the same thing. Though I think I'll hold onto Metroplex until the KO citybots get some in hand reviews, just in case there's any deal breaking QC issues.

 

PS: They might as well upscale Diabolis Rex while they are at it.

They would not have to upsize the head  

 

899 yuan is 138 dollars.

 

Hmm. How much should I expect for shipping on this guy? $50? How much did it cost to ship Takara Metroplex directly from overseas? I'm guessing this is going to weigh a lot more than the official Metroplex though.

If I can get the whole thing shipped for under $200, I'm very interested.

 

This is the same group?

 

Might be in for the Metrotitan/Dystopia version, since we've never gotten the official Generations Metroplex repaint for which I was hoping.

 

No qualms huh? I think the third party industry just died.

 

it is. a little asking around revealed who this guy is, not by name but by what he designed in the past and the companies he worked for. v for vendetta against certain companies.

btw, theres another old thread for this.

these have been on baidu and taboa for a bit.

 

A bit over dramatic don't you think? If this was mere weeks after the original release I'd be concerned but it isn't. In that respect the Hellfire/Wrestle KO's are a little more worrying but they are coming in bigger so ppl have a choice.

 

Very interesting, thanks man.

 

I think the KOVersized Dystopia would be best fit for the Titan Metroplex repaint to Metrotitan we never got.

 

Id love to have a metrotitan of this, I still kind of like metroplex despite his flaws but to have a completly different mold for Metrotitan would be nice.

Plus I loved the cruiser mode can you imagine HOW MASSIVE THAT IS GONNA BE NOW!

 

This is cool news but since I already have Utopia I would want a Dystopia in the same scale to repaint into the Necrotitan.

 

$138 dollars?!?! I'm IN for that price!

 

I always preferred Maketoys Metroplex's look and HasTak's Metro's size.


I'll die a happy man if I can get a combination of both in my hands.

 

I notice Chimungmung has his Dystopias on sale for $375 shipped, which is cheaper than the Maketoys price before they add shipping!

Nice. I'll keep my Hasbro Metroplex but it would be great to dd a Metrotitan to him and hopefully a Necrotitan (slight remould too, maybe) too.

For the price I don't expect anything near what MT did with their's but as long as it's not all hollow and cheap feeling, closer to Hastak stuff, I'd be fine with it.
