    I missed the sheen question. It’s satin. It’s definitely not gloss or flat. I like it quite a bit, since gloss makes figures look like plastic toys.

    Great, thanks guys. I think my collection is going to take a slight departure to acquire this fine fellow.

    LordoftheRobots, did you paint yours or was it a camera trick? It's so...red. Mine is almost pink.

    It's a Gimp trick. I push up the colors in post production. Mine is not bright like you can see in the pictures.

    Cool thanks. Your pictures made me realize how nice this guy actually is. I'm so tempted to paint it now.

    I would prefer it too in a brighter and lighter red version.
    The MAS line is good, it'a a sin that my 2 Primes have some minor paint defects

    I think everyone would like their primes to be as red as it is in those pictures, I always fiddle with the colours when I take pics of it.

    Can't remember if the prototype they showed at TF Nation was as 'pink'

    I think it's the metallic component of the paint that lightens the red in direct light. I agree that I have to play with the colour settings to get Prime to be as red as he is in MP-10.

    Just got this guy in the mail, and he's quite impressive. However when I went to put batteries in the head, the nut that hold the access panel on fell into the head. I was able to get the nut out by prying the top open a bit, but I don't want to force it open and break something. I don't suppose anyone has opened the head on this one before?

    I'm attaching a picture of the head for better illustration.

    I looked around on youtube, but couldn't find anything about taking it apart. Tons of reviews but nobody has taken it apart that I've seen.
