    Does anyone have a Stock Takara MP-10 head and a Daca Toys Upgrade head (either one is fine)? I was looking for a comparison.

    Please and Thanks

    Edit: nvm I found some good ones in the Daca toys upgrade kit thread. I'll probably order a set of those too. They look nice.

    Agree. In pictures, they look good. In hand the color is off. Too dark for Hasbor version, too light for Takara. Sprue marks and poor paint.

    I used to have one on my TT MP-10, but ended up switching back once I painted the eyes on my MP-10. Mine was also quite loose on the neck joint.

    Nothing like having a bunch of robot dinosaurs hovering over your head.

    where's the cheapest place to get the Hasbro Asia MP Skywarp these days?
    Also, any news or rumors regarding Hasbro USA Toys R Us releases this year? I've been putting off the Hasbro Asia Skywarp hoping that someone would announce a cheaper release but I might have to suck it up and throw my money at it.

    Pics aren't great, but here's my new MP layout. Huge thanks to Dean for the poses.

    Kroger VW Bug in that pic. Same size as MP Bumblebee, but better G1 color.

    Why? You are the 3rd or 4th person that have posted a change of heart. Just curious.

    Ok dude, seriously. If only Paramount would let you handle the TF movies, this world would be a much better place.

    You have the type of patience reserved only for...well...really patient people! Fantastic as always, OT. And I really dig the Red Alert fixes :rock 

    Man, everyone has such cool set-ups for their figs! I need to do something, because right now they all either hang out in their boxes OR...on the drafting table.

    Have fun, gang!
