    I don't believe so. It's probably just a difference of where they measured to on the figure.

    i dont think he has been bumped up at all. just more shitty chinese measurements. sometimes it makes me wonder if they even know how to read a ruler.

    OK, will wait for some reviews then. I like it, but I want it as tiny as the original.

    Agreed, I prefer this size. My only Pocket Toys experience was the Shockwave which the arm broke on the first day because the joints we're too tight and not enough clearance. If they have improved since that figure I will buy this set. The plastic quality overall was very good. I just hope they fixed the issues with joints

    Shit, do people still use Ebay?

    Isn't it just a wretched hive of scum and villainy, now? Prices suck, shipping sucks, half the sellers won't ship to Canada, etc, etc...

    Yeah, but from your example, it seems like that was an outlier example of a factory packing / QC error... you said the part was cracked right out of the box. But on it's own, it's not a delicate piece at all.

    However, it's true that with lower-grade plastics, you never know. Something can seem tough until the day it suddenly fractures due to invisible flaws. That's happened to me as well.

    Any word on it being a big bigger? I really like the aesthetic, I would not mind having it as a CW scale combiner.

    I just noticed the ice cream cone has "Icecream" in one word on the chest... maybe a relative of Starscream. :D

    And doing a straight conversion that's $44 USD compared to $24 USD. Postage will factor in and MMP10 may weigh slightly more so the additional cost may be an increase of maybe $4, or whatever the incremental cost per 500gm is. Depends on the final weights of MMP10 and MPP10 boxed up and sent

    Converted to AUD the difference is maybe $27 AUD but I was being rough in my calculations :)

    I've already got a perfectly good original IF War Giant, so I'm not really interested in buying another. But I've been having a hard time talking myself into dropping another almost $200 on their Catastrophe repaint. If Pocket Toys does the repaint I'll be all over that. While they're at it, gimme G2, Battle Gaia, and that sweet arctic camo versions.

    Is anybody else picking up the Weijiang KO upgrade of the Hasbro Predaking set? For 19.99 with free shipping It's totally worth the shot...
