    Tfw’s notifications are slipping. I didn’t see this update! Excellent sideways box design! Thanks for the post!

    I thought that too about the knees but then I looked back at MP-44's stock photos and they look similar. I think it's just the camera angle playing tricks, but not sure.

    Yes the box picture is very odd as MP44's legs definitely should not bend like that

    I thought the knees were just bent oddly open, cause they used the secondary joint first or something like that.

    That’s the strange part. You cannot bend the lower joint first without breaking it. So either it’s just a weird camera angle or they did modify the design to allow either joint to bend first. We will find out in a month!

    After much deliberation I pre-ordered a few days ago... need to see what the fuss about this mould is.
    He'll probably lead mutated 38 Primal and Shadow Panther initially i think

    Yes indeed - bang on the money.

    Tenuous link in that a bunch of Beasts were working for/with Unicron at the end of the IDW-Verse... plus they're all black.

    Shiii... the more I look at it the more I want it. I lost track of how many times this thing has been preordered and canceled. Why do I play these games with myself.

    Yes I believe its the last Saturday of this month. MP`s normally release on the last Saturday of their release month.

    Edit: I just double-checked and Amazon Japan says July 25th.
