    Yep, they go inward. They work like Sunstreaker's waist plates, except there is an upper fixed plate above the rotating one.

    That’s too bad we won’t see anything early. Do you know if those guys were the ones directly responsible for all the KOing of TT stuff?

    Does this mean no mp45?

    some of you remember i said i will acquire at least either MP45 or MP44 in May 1st right ?
    well , things went downhill. Siege Reflector and Brunt were heavily leaked. Now after Tonton and some other big reviewers are posting videos and photos of them , the factory post wanted of those who leak the figures. They caught 2 now. Security was boosted again.

    sad fact is they can sell it to whoever they want , so relate to KO stuffs or not , it's almost 75% truth.

    In this day of YouTube reviewers and influencers etc feels like Toy companies could do a little more to involve fans before the release...?

    There was some written interview with the designers posted months ago, maybe this could be redone as a video interview and a look at the specific engineering etc. They wouldn't have to reveal the full figure etc!

    Surely Takara want to get as many people to buy this as possible and they must be aware that 3Ps are taking away their market with their versions...

    japan is very strict. You simply can't make them soonly work like other country company.
    Still remember that in other way 3P is still a very grey area.
    And Japan products mostly cater japanese market , that fact never change. Takara is still a company with old fashion mind.
    And also they could careless about 3P steal market. Japanese buy both 3P and Tak MP , only westerners keep thinking the 3P is overthrowing tkara

    if they don't care about 3p then what about KO? That must be a problem for them?

    Well add that as another factor to price increases, increased security.

    Just save on it. Been doing that for sometime now. I stop buying non essential non essentials. MP-44 will be mine (and yours too if you try)!

    I don’t earn enough to justify putting that money into one figure.
