    Given it now has a showz preorder up, looks like it actually is a KO. I'm all in.

    I'm guessing this is an error but ShowZ is listing the height of this as 12.5cm / 4.92inches?

    Lol if they actually did that and pulled off downsizing but keeping the detail and articulation I don't think I would even be mad that would be too impressive.

    The MPM is around 12.5inches, so I'm guessing when they made the listing they put 12.5cm by mistake... or it's correct and we're in for a cyberverse scale MPM line :p

    It's very handsome indeed.

    Given how lackluster the SS Leader megs turned out to be I may just go for this incredibly shiny gentleman. I mean, at $100 and with a deco like that I'm sorely tempted.

    Man, I looked everywhere for this thread, but couldn't find jack until now.

    Are people already getting shipping notifications for this guy? I only found him for pre-order for mid-September in ShowZStore.

    From what I can tell, aside form the updated paint aos, They addressed QT issues from the official including tightness, tabbing, ratchets, and plastic type?

    Definitely getting this guy! Can't wait!

    Here's another review I didn't see posted in the previous pages.

    So what I'm gathering from this, is that Honey Badger *does* care.

    So there's only one KO for this at the moment and it's the "Honey Badger" one? If so, is that the one there's up for pre-order at showzstore?

    How long does stuff from showZ take to ship to the west coast in Canada?

    Yep, I'm in. It's frustrating Takara and Hasbro don't release the MPMs with paint like this or the LT ko's in the first place as I'd happily pay the premium for it, but as is, every official one I've bought ends up getting sold for a KO with better paint and QC.

    I think it looks that way because the official is in slightly more of an A stance in that video, and the KO is fully upright. The images on the first page show this should be 1:1 scaled though.

    This. Are they really worried about loosing money? People already buying the (over priced imo) figure as it is; defects and all. Imagine if the added the just released a superior figure to begin with.

    Nice! When did you order yours? I haven't heard back from ShowZStore yet for my pre order.

    Did they update the neck joint from the simple c-clip as well?

    In the review I posted above at 14:01 he goes over the head articulation.
