    The irony being the far better Studio Series toy has an open mouth mask whereas the cheap POS one is masked.

    You know what's weird? The mainline/general retail version of Prime is a pretty good toy. This thing...Jesus tap dancing Christ.

    So did the figures in the warehouse.

    In all seriousness, I've been looking into the warehouse thing a little more since the thread got closed- turns out the warehouse in question was flooded all the way back in AUGUST and they're only now cleaning it out. The figures are supposed to be trashed but some people have been going in and scavenging some of the higher value items (specifically the MPMs and Cyberplex) and reselling them for cheap on baidu. People who have bought said figures reported a strong smell of piss and shit. The figures themselves are caked in sand and sewage residue. Nasty.

    there's also this image from the baidu thread which is really funny.

    Fire = heat, heat = "the absence of cool", or "not cool"

    No filter or photo adjustment. This shows just how bad the yellowing can get:

    I think it's from the Cyberverse or Bumblebee cartoon. Can't remember specifically.

    yup, mine's getting there too. I did buy the second release one (that didn't come with the BAF) that I know still sat in stores for a while and that one was looking much better at the time, but it's put away, I'll have to check and hope that they had a different batch of plastic that didn't have this issue.

    At least the discoloration is even...
