    You wouldn't hear them from the guy trying to make the point of how you can get two of these for one Megatron. Doesn't fit his narrative. And anyways for people in the US, you can get BW Megatron for 220 dollars shipped from Amazon. If you choose to get from a someone else for higher, that's his/her fault.

    I'm trying to curb my anxiety for this figure by looking for ice effects for it. Any suggestions?

    Yeah but Taobao is also the exception when it comes to prices. Exception or not, it's an option that's available without consumers needing to do anything special.

    You could look into the Tamashii Aura Effects, Blue and White. There's also KO's of them and the KOes tend to be good quality of the effect pieces. Maybe some of the KO Wind Effects too.

    Some of the Figure-Rise effects might work for you too.

    Wow, that color looks amazing. Definitely picking him up for sure when he comes out.
    2018-2019 has been a good year for my collection. Mp-43 BW Megatron was the icing on the cake, cant imagine what could possibly top it.

    I've seen those and looking for a good price. I really want to find something like ice shards and icicles.

    ...so perfect effect ultimately went with crystal translucent plastic instead of the frosted look from the early promotional images, and it looks like more of a purple than blue paint...

    These changes have turned me off from this figure. The green highlights are not attractive. I hope that the lighting is off to give that appearance.

    I quite like the purple, even if it's just the lighting. The original Cryotek has a more complicated deco than people realize, purple is quite prevalent. If anything, I'd want them to add a bit more purple, but to my eyes it looks the same as it did in Ben's review. Frosted transparent plastic would've been cooler though, I'm mostly hoping they gave him some stronger ratchets.

    ...back when i used to play a lot of tabletop RPGs, i assembled a very nice set of purple and teal translucent dice kept in a small wooden box; this color scheme reminds me of those dice and i think looks pretty nice, although i'd prefer to see it broken up with some metallic blue...

    Looks good... I think. At this point i have no idea, since colors keep changing.
    I'm gonna wait off on this one, until I see other people's in hand figure first.

    The main plastic looks like the same blue as the original Cryotek figure.

    I now have a MIP Chro waiting for him to arrive.
