    Actually, I'd really like to be able to buy spare sets of chrome rims and rubber tyres to retrofit to my TT MP Lambos.
    How about it Badcube?

    I don't think there will be a Chip Chase figure.

    Edit: Never mind, just saw it on their Facebook page. WINNA!!!!

    dang....they went all in on this. chrome and silver. separae rims and tires, chip chase. i don't know if i can sit this one out anymore. the legs still look bad, but when posed dynamically look ok. i like spinout's design better overall though...is the only answer...both? if i did that i'd have to wait for spinout's red repaint though. 3P really is a double edged sword. it can give us characters we want, even choice of versions of the same character....but all at a price. if Takara had put out sunstreaker a year or two ago, we' d have had it for under $50 shipped and i'd be ok being done with sunstreaker. lol. now i'm looking at $190.....but at least i have choice! lol

    YES!!! This just gets better and better! To me, he was already totally worth it, but now with that Chip figure, holy crap! It just sucks that I have this dude preordered with XTB Arkose, and who knows how much longer we'll have to wait for them to get that figure out.

    I still prefer Spinout, but Chip and the extra parts have won me over to giving this guy a try.

    Man, if my 1980s self could see my 42 year-old self enjoying all the cool Masterpiece/3P figures that look like they just stepped out of the cartoon, I don't know if that version of me could wait 30+ years.

    All this, plus the technology we have today, especially w/ internet (online shopping, info right at our fingertips, free pr0n, etc.)...hell, sometimes I can't believe the shit we have available now.

    Looks great and the leg is more in line with the foot now. I will have to order this one.

    I'm still not in love with the proportions but I have to admit it looks good. This is an MP worthy figure if I ever saw one. Looks like Badcube did a really nice job. I'm interested to read reviews.

    Here comes the Sun!

    He's looking like one of the best MP scale carbots yet.

    I pre-ordered my two a couple of weeks back and these latest pics have got me extra excited for the release :)
