    Looking at the photos from the most recent event in China. I like how different angles of Prime's face can evoke the feeling of different expressions.

    Here I get the feeling of Prime looking onward, and perhaps saddened by the site of a fallen comrade.

    It will be interesting to see what other expressions will be evoked in photos to come. Can't wait for this one to be out already.

    While it’s not exactly the same thing as a second or third run of the figure, I got mp-36+ and was amazed by its quality when compared to the first run of mp-36. All the tolerances were perfect and even on the parts without chrome, I’ve had almost no paint chipping! I’d definitely go with the official—just not the first run.

    Yeah the MP-44 pics of the final version at the show in China made it look glorious. From the finish to the fit. I wouldn't be worried unless there is an exploding joint no one knows of yet or something.

    exactly. what i learnt from the KO IT Dinobot from both western forums and baidu :
    Chineses are often consider our first scapegoats because they tend to receive stuffs very early , but they play really rough with the figure , that's why such hot mess like that figure can't handle enough.
    Meanwhile Western after read it will be more careful.
    So about the issue with recent MP like Megatron , BW Megatron , Dinobot
    the issues was tent to blown out way off proportion. All the issues won't be much of problem if players play with the figure with considerate amount of attention and force , just like we do with pricy collectible. Let's face it , we are in an expensive hobby.
    And I want to add that Chinese factory is still league better than VN factory because well , they have history
    so rest assure. if anything , we are all here to help each other out
