    Is this because this Chinese New Years is the Year of the Rat?

    Just too obvious.

    And I just noticed that was my 7,777th post! All lucky 7’s! Final Fantasy VII fans should rejoice...and my enemies should run!!! Especially that fucking Emerald Weapon!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

    (I apologize in advance if none of this post makes any sense...lol).

    But that would mean, to maintain the 7777, you could never post again, lest you lose that extra power :D 

    Too late, looks like you’re at 7780. I guess Emerald Weapon wins this time.
    Looks like you might need to reconfigure your Materia to maintain a maximum 7777 post count ;) 

    Oh, and on-topic about Rattrap...
    MPs were priced out of my range a few years ago. So, as cool as this is, I likely won’t be buying it. I have my CHUG Rattrap to keep me happy.

    you know what, when I looked back at BW MPs , I found out that MP32 came out in 2016, which is the year of MONKEY in Japan and China! So, maybe, TT is not joking this time!

    If any year is a year to do a MP Rattrap, this year is a good one.

    plus they can do a Packrat repaint too.

    Very much hope it's true.

    BUT, I hope it's less intricate and delicate than Blackarachnia, and doesn't continue the trend of skyrocketing prices with decreasing QC.

    Called it. My money has been on Rattrap as next for ages. it just makes the most sense, he continues the trend of top tier characters/a preference for good guys, he compliments what we have nicely as he continues to fill out the Axalon crew as well as serve as a foil for Dinobot AND he'll finally give 'proper' purpose to that peg on primal's back. I'd say it's highly likely they'll find a way to make him more expensive than Blackarachnia.

    Id love some Botcon repaints but I’m nervous that they won’t. No justification to my cynicism; I just have a hunch.

    We'll probably just get a Black Arachnia repaint.

    Yes, you did call it. BUT I don't know if he's a lock, yet. Oh, believe-you-me*, he will cost more than Blackarachnia. T-T seem to be aiming for the highest pricing tiers now.

    Don't be like that!

    I'm not sure that they're going to do repaints with BWMPs any more. We got a soft repaint of Primal and Shadow Panther, but they haven't touched Megatron or Dinobot. And Blackarachnia doesn't really have any..."real" repaints that I know of.

    If they managed to do a (cheaper) Grimlock repaint/retool or a (stripped-down, accessory-wise) Packrat...I might have to break some personal collecting rules.



    *...the hell does that mean, anyway?!

    I thought Generations Rattrap was already repurposed as a MP figure.

    I would absolutely buy MP Rattrap. But I’d hope to see some of the other season 1 cast first.

    I've had Generations Rattrap in my Beast Wars MP display for some time. He's a great-looking stand-in until an actual MP figure comes along.
