    Where’d you get them? In a bulk pack?
    Both are good. One might be better.

    You can find any 1/6 scale basketball on ebay or Amazon.

    One thing to be aware of. The 1/6 scale is a little large for MP-10/MP-44. If one could source a ball at 1/8 or 1/10 scale, then that would be a better fit.

    The lack of production pics for this guy is starting to worry me... hope TT is finally on point with their quality control.
    I've tolerated a ton of bs from them, especially in recent years, had to return or track down doubles on multiple figures,
    everything from bad paint to cracks to assembly errors, but for a $500 toy this thing better be damn near flawless.

    Sorry just had to vent, as folks have been saying, being just over a week from release is making me pretty nervous...

    Hard plastic-like material. The NBA ball has great texture and details. It has a magnet inside it.

    The Sport ball is decent and cheaper.

    there was a post showing MP44's unpainted non grey prototype showing off his possible diecast parts.
    I think @Phamduc might be able to confirm this. :lol 

    pic from Dec 2018..
    looks like he has diecast in the following areas:
    robot head antenna
    Truck/robot grille
    Feet and legs
    waist piece

    That Jordan figure has Spalding written across its ball. There was another figma with a basketball but it was a different design. The one I bought was the closest I could find to a traditional looking basketball, as it was drawn in the show.
