I got mine fully paid at Show Z too. I also have the BMB Sideswipe coming from them too.

 

Wow. The difference between the official and this KO is night and day in terms of visuals. The KO is beautiful!

 

I feel like this will be shipping soon from ShowZ. When you go to their website and click on "in stock" honey badger is there, but still says pre-order

 

Mine was delivered this morning all that stands between me and Megatron is the last 180 km of this 500 km drive home haha

 

Haha thats something Nice to look forward to

 

Sure is!



I'll try to get some pictures up here as soon as I have time (might be tomorrow morning), any requests I might be able to fulfill for people?

 

Pics of him with MPM optimus and maybe pics of him with MP's/MP scale figures in general?

 

As of now all I have for MpM prime is BMB, I have a couple car bots and my movie 1 decepticon cast (3p/ko/official) that I'll get some pictures with. As for MPs I believe all I have is MP-5. I'll do what I can for you.

 

Okay just took the figure out of the package for two seconds as I have to unpack/tidy up/eat food/have a brew. But first thoughts is he looks waaay better than the official color wise. Mine doesn't seem as dark in person as photos/videos make him look although he is still darker than the official. Soft plastic is completely eradicated (Can I get a AMEN!), Even though the small fingers are slightly flexible it's nowhere near the official, and by slightly I mean it takes actual effort to flew and could even snap under too much pressure. Eyes might need a little paint but are more visible in person than photos. Joints are tasty, probably some of the best ratchets I've felt. Very clicky and hold in place but easy to move when needed and don't feel like they will wear out. Friction joints are worlds better than the official. Things hold together great in bot mode (haven't transformed him yet). I will say that there is one thing that is below the officials standard and that is the overall plastic feel. It feels 100% like a KO, not a bad KO, but it is noticable. It feels like the usual Wei Jiang/BMB MPM KO plastic but a little lighter. This might be because I had the official first and remember the weight from all that diecast but I think people who have handed the ko MPM prime and SS blackout will know what im trying to say. Overall I'd recommend this figure for sure! Pics to come when I get time.

 

Oh for sure!!! More easily posed, less droop, I'm all for it. I should clarify, for people who don't know what I mean about the BMB/LT/WJ plastic, it does not feel weak or low quality at all. Just........ different lol. Taking some pics now.

 

If its anything like some of the MP KO's I own where i cant tell the difference, I think I won't mind the plastic at all  

 

This is pretty, pretty good. But there are lots of room for improvement. But, this is indeed a decent gift after 12 years. Somebody suggested to trade this with offical MPM-08, and I'm now confused XD

 

Here we gooooooo

And last but not least

 

Nice pics! Nice to see they painted the eyes red.

 

I was pleasantly surprised with the color in person, not the brightest but they are fairly accurate.

Glad I could provide some comparisons!

 

One screw with an easy to remove cover is all that it takes to remove the eyes in order to paint them.
