Nice pictures; very helpful.
But would you stop making my 2014 MP-03 Grimlock look like the cheapest of them all!!!  

 

Does anyone's head have those weird shapes on the temple and the upper lip?

 

I have those too. They're screw hole covers.

 

Oh ok. Thanks.

 

After having handled this mold, I'm glad I have it but I'd have been bummed had I spent more than I did on the Hasbro version. It's just an outdated mold.

 

What do you recommend for my next MP? I am thinking soundblaster with ko rumble frenzy.

 

That's a tough question. Which ones do you have?

I like the Soundwave mold but I also don't think it's Hasui's best work nor do I think TT put the money into the actual metal molds like they did the other molds they knew they would be milking. But still wouldn't give up my Hasbro set for anything.

Anyway, for me the real car series is where my heart is.

 

If you don't have the TT MP-10, get it while you can for a reasonable price. It's still available for under $190, which is a steal considering he was going for around $400 before the reissues. Best figure of the best version of the best character.

 

I almost feel guilty in saying that I didn't think I like the TT version of MP-10 as much as I do as an owner of Hasbro version. That said blue roller or nothing.

 

So does the light up hand barely light up the sword and gun at all? Seems like if the peg werent at the bottom of the hand, it would be deeper connected to the fist and more light would pipe through.

 

the light on the sword isn't bright and even less so with the gun. the hips are really floppy and he does the splits. these problems are fixed on the oversized ko version of mp-08x
