    Nah, it would make MMCs too big. I mean, that would make the MMC what, scale 1:4 or something?!? You'd need a MP Tracks Blaster accesoire twice the normal size, at least.

    (Fortunately, you can see in left corner what looks like OUtback's legs, so definitely not Blaster & cassettes in earth sized altmodes. Cheap season 3 animation.)

    FT-29 Quietus. No issues with mine so far, although I know others did. I just take my time transforming and use lots of caution to avoid rubbing parts together as best I can.

    Edit. I jinxed myself with this response. Just transformed him back to bot mode and noticed a small blue dot on his nose and paint wear on his upper thighs. I advise to remove the face plate before transforming and be cautious of the metal chest plate rubbing on the thighs and also the knee caps hitting it during transformation.

    Are KO considered 3P? I only ask because authentic MP is too expensive for me so I'll need to go 3P or KO whichever is cheaper

    KO is a straight up copy where 3p is its own original thing.

    Yes, KO are 3p. Some people get upset if you directly compare them but 3p covers everything other than the actual license holder, even official ones like World of 3A (those are licensed third parties). Xtb, ft, etc. are unlicensed third parties and so are the KO companies. Some people like to call them 4th parties but that's a made up nonsense term.

    Seriously? KO of course. They don't have to do the r+d. They just steal the design

    If you can it's best to support the 3p companies. I wouldn't fault you if you got KOs though. I know what being broke is like.

    Yeah, I can't spend stupid money on toys unfortunately. Is there a KO thread or forum kicking around

    4th party is the company that makes an add-on for a 3rd party toy.

    Yeah, there's a general KO thread but it's not very useful for mp figures. It's mostly the seriously chincy knockoffs of mainline figures. There are threads in the 3p section for each KO MP figure that's come out or that have been announced.

    Not doing this argument again. First, second, and third parties are actual terms in the English language. Fourth party is not. Look it up. If you choose not to believe me, that's fine, but I'm correct.

    I thought 4th party were the KO companies.
