    At that price it should have an adjustable seat - one that can be angled to accommodate Shockwave and others who can't sit at 90 degrees.

    Honestly I think the price is fair, it's a limited appeal item so not like a Barbie chair where we're looking at many thousand sales. As such yes prices will be higher than I'd like and I would certainly understand people not going for this but to me, it seems ok. I'd be jumping for joy at $20 but I accept $40 given that MAAS also needs to make money!

    At long last, finally a throne that is available for the masses. Not just another custom throne that's not for sale.

    Same feeling. If you look at the 1/6 company that was doing similar chairs to the one Morpheus sits in the Matrix, I expected it to be around $30-40, even if this is more hard plastic than the others products out there.

    Here's an example: 1/6th Red Single Sofa Settee PVC Chair Furniture Fit 12" Action Figure Model Accessories-in Action & Toy Figures from Toys & Hobbies on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

    I'm on board for one for sure because my Megatron is tired of standing all the time and I will finally own something besides a small hand accessory for my MP collection. Still be nice to get a nice ARK diorama and not a cardboard or plastic walls or even worse, over priced with electronics version either.

    The chair is cheap compared to the hot toys star wars 1/6 emperor throne which they are charging an extra £100 for it if you want the deluxe figure that comes with it which obviously most ht collectors will go for rather than the standard figure that comes without it....i'm suckered into buying the deluxe :lol

    The problem is that stuff is licensed and backed by Marvel/Disney. If Hasbro or Takara had been back on this throne, you would be looking at the same price.

    I agree that anything above $40 depending on the size and detail of whatever chair you want to throw in there, is insane. Probably could buy a Barbie house for $100 with a pool and a garage and recreate the first TF Movie scene with Sam.

    Yeah; $40 for an MP-sized chair feels reasonable. That's not a small chair at all.

    It looked pretty nice in prototype form at TFcon.

    Will the base from the renders be included or was that cut?

    they have made it too big!!! mmc overlord looks the right size and i reckon fanstoys grimlock will fit but mp megatron looks ridiculous sitting in it especially pushed back with his legs hanging in the air like a little child sitting in a big seat ... the others shown look stupid sitting in it too

    Yeah, I gotta agree.
    Meg's feet don't touch the floor and the back towers over his head while his arms have to stretch to the sies to rest on the arm-rests - just makes it look a bit ridiculous.
    Anyone remember Lily Tomlins character Edith Ann?

    In contrast Overlord looks perfect sitting on it.
