    That sucks. I saw this thread get bumped and hoped a blue version of this was forthcoming... alas, I was met with disappointment.. but not as much as you...

    Crap that sucks to hear! Sorry about that, I will say though MMC is pretty awesome when it comes to getting replacement parts. They were able to help me and they got the part to me really quick too!

Loose tolerances and weapons that don’t fit well into the ports. However I still love the overall execution with the head and body sculpt, colors, amd exaggerated weapons set.

    I picked this one up on Ebay. The figure has a lot of character in hand and the packaging is
    a lot of nostalgic fun. Not MMC's best mold, but mine is still quite decent QC wise.

    I think so. Some had issues with their copies but mine was and still is great.

    I’m hoping some third party takes a stab at this but can make it look even more organic and like the actual character a bit more. Maybe make him MP prime height or TE-01/MP 36. I may have to get the Marvel Legends version as well. Been rereading my UK TF comics again. Saw this and thought it looked cool. Would love to see it or another version with all the tech and modeling at 3rd party designers finger tips, we could get something really awesome that would fit into our G1 collection on the Marvel UK side.

    Bottom line, I’d love to see someone OS/KO this and make it more like the organic character while still turning into a pretty amazing and G1 MP style jet! Or given the green style design from the comics, a war tank jet? Would be more appropriate to his bounty hunter /barbarian stylings.

    Now that Disney owns Marvel 3P companies won't touch this character. We'll have to rely on Hasbro to give us a Marvel Legends style figure. Hopefully a BAF so he'll be big and beefy.

    Anyone interested in selling theirs? Or at least know a place I can get one? The prices on eBay are so unreasonable it’s not even funny.
