    Wicked.
    I think it’s a case of source material. Of course 38 has many different colours. Lio Convoy is the same quality. He’s gonna be fully painted. There’s a difference between cheap figures and cheap shows.
    Exactly. And the backpack isn’t even more than his chest depth. It’s actually fairly well sized.

    So the crazy thing is, the release date, August 31st, is also the date my kid is scheduled to be born. That's a sign that I have to get the figure.

    It's a she, so Optimus Prime might be a little less fitting. I'll still check with the Wife.

    Thanks! It's crazy that it's a date the whole TF community is waiting for.

    For the first time in the history of mankind the parents will keep the baby from sleeping by constantly bawling every time they are reminded of how cool the MP-44 is.:p

    Also, the cost of getting ready for a child, the actual medical costs, and insurance costs certainly make the figure's price seem like a drop in the bucket!

    Congrats. Parenthood is a blessing and an adventure. I'm hoping to share my passion for transformers with my little one some day. Maybe even pass on my collection

    Thank you! I have no doubt it will be a blessing and an adventure. I won't try to force the hobby onto her, but she's gonna grow up to know more about Transformers than your average... well, person.
