    I'm just not sure how good the head will look on the MP-3/11 based molds. the body is not super animation accurate. I do think we are due for another round of seekers at some point soon in the line.

    I agree that the seekers will be redone. Here's a pic that I posted earlier in this thread.

    Sold all 6 of mine and I have zero regrets. The only "pre awesomeness" MP I sort of miss is Soundwave. But it is only a matter of time....

    So, yes. This should fit the mp-11!

    I agree with @oku. Please send me your toys. heh. heh. heh. :rolleyes: :D

    Seriously. Everything from Toynami, Bandai, Yamato/Arcadia sucked at availability. After Megatron And Prime going toon, we all know that Starscream is in the line up. The budgets will be so much better this time around.

    I’m not sure you’re right about that as many in the Meteor thread tried the mp-11 head on Meteor and found it fit loosely and needed to be reinforced with some paper or something to work...however take this with a grain of salt as I never tried it myself and have only read third-hand experience.

    Well. I don't have the knee issue on either of my 44s. And I've seen a ton of pics that are so lovely that I have lots of material to use to pose my own 44s when I get the desire to do so. And this thread is becoming rather infested with some chaff. So I guess it's time for the grain to go elsewhere. Unwatching threat. :)  See all you guys that I love so much in the next MP news thread! Maybe some of the less unsavory commenters will be banned before then. HOPEFULLY we get a new reveal first though!!!

    You know Wolf, I'm glad that works for ya. And it also seems to work for many others.

    I'm a firm believer that the world is filled with more good than bad. I really believe that. I don't believe what we are being fed on a daily basis by the media (every single aspect of it). I have friends from every side of the spectrum, and boy, do we not agree on a lot of things! But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter! We are simply kind with each other.

    My ignore list has 0 members and it will always stay that way. I personally don't believe in blocking bad things. You simply process them, and simply try to do the opposite. Sometimes violence is inevitable (not just physically) and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Specially where people feel like they can say anything with zero regards because they are online. I can tell you from experience that most of those are delicate flowers when you meet them in real life.

    I'm also smart enough to realize that what works for me, might not work for others. and that's fine! Like you said, I wish I could simply "block" Co-workers and people in real life. Hell, that's a great idea for a Netflix's Black Mirror episode, is it not??

    But sadly, real life is different. Sometimes facing negative people is a necessity, and I respect that some choose not to do it online. I really do. After all, this is a place where you can talk to others about stuff you can't really talk to, say, one's own wife/husband.

    Don't let some fucking neck-beard spoil your time here. We need more of your awesome pics.

    Mr. Franpincho,

    I appreciate you taking the time and energy to transcribe how you feel. I 100% agree with you on all accounts. I enjoy all walks of life, all thoughts and all ideas across all genres, platforms, mediums, etc. I love people.

    Like you have mentioned and I have touched upon in the past in real life 99.99999% of all this noise would be gone. You believe as well as I that people are generally good and when you look at someone in the eyes and know that
    you are hurting them there is an immediate reaction to back track and right that wrong, because in the end nobody really wants to hurt anyone.

    Where I am going with this is simply my time is limited and I come here to escape reality and be around like minded folks with similar interests. I don't want to spend the limited time I have riffling through the pollution that hangs around here. Again, I welcome a conversation whether our opinions agree or not.

    That would be a really cool idea with blocked people. I'm thinking maybe a short to start, but it would be interesting to see how the individuals are effected by it all (both sides of the coin).

    Thank you for your praise of my photography. These guys are masterpieces and my lens loves to have them in front of them.

    Looking forward to more MP44 shots from everyone here!

    Thank you! The cases (I have two) are from displays2go (all glass case) with custom lighting and black glass background (I did it myself).

    I"ll have to do a full case(s) shot but currently everything is under construction (rearranging) once it looks ready I'll add them up on here ;)

    Hm, does anyone else have a wobbly waist? I feel like I haven’t clicked something in right.
