    Okay... WHAT?!

    If there is seriously *already* an issue with MP-05 knock-offs being sold from Hong Kong, then this should be front page news like asap.

    Can anyone else confirm this - that MP Megs is indeed supposed to (AND does) have a metal chest? All I've read so far is that he has sturdy plastic with metallic looking paint, but in fact has no diecast the way that MP-01/02/04 have.

    You got me paranoid dude :eek:

    I'd love a good Hi-Q pic of him in a nice pose, kind of relaxed, but pointing his fusion cannon towards the camera, so that even though he's relaxed, he's clearly about to f*ck you up. I want to make a wallpaper of him to go along with the one I made of Prime after I got him (but I don't have the patience to wait till after Botcon). To show you what I mean, here's the prime one:


    Its big, so I'm using a thumbnail... just click it for the full dealy-o.

    Congratulations; I'd reseal the box and get AFA to grade it, if I were you, because you appear to have the only metal chested MP-05 in existence.
    That, or you could take photos to prove to us all that you're telling the truth.
