Just for the record, Cheem's post established that the ears are nylon. Nylon has some give, but is still much tougher than rubber. The post also says that heat will anneal the ears back into shape. Should be an easy fix
So is this thread for ALL MP-44 KO's or just the one that's coming out soon...maybe. Because it's inevitable that someone else makes another KO of 44... That's because of the wonky midsection/waist. Does it compress on 44?
I might get this to put reprolabels on. I like the toy look with the cell shaded windows and yellow forearm details. It even comes with a proper not-toon Autobot symbol.
What do you mean by wonky midsection? Can you explain? It does compress on MP-44 if you talk about the ab-crunch
Well, the KO's taller than the real one, (I assume) because the waist hasn't been pushed in enough. I've never handled a 44, so I may be wrong.
I'm glad to hear they ditched the trailer but disappointed that they kept the giant backpack and electronics.
I actually wanted the trailer. But I'd have been fine with them dumping the jetpack and the Starscream parts.
Where did the idea it's taller come from?? It's an exact 1:1 copy. See pic in this post... Most of the changes I can understand even if I dont like them, but the little scallops cut out of the pieces beside his knee caps has me scratching my head - what's with those?? I can only imagine to help get a fingernail underneath to flip them out, although I heard literally nobody complain that was difficult. Not worth ruining the lines of the knee joint imho. Out on this mainly due to the paint. Hopefully a better one comes along. My original has no knee or other issues but would still like another for potential custom tweaks i have in mind.
It's taller. Please check this video review: 它做的很一般但比正版强，变形金刚万象KO版MP44擎天柱 You will see it's a bit taller! That weird shape in the knee panel is probably needed for transformation if they tweaked it a bit. That's just my idea on it, nothing certain.
Honestly that backpack is something you will easily forget when you get it. I really think it looks nice and would find the figure weird without it.
Yeah the backpack is not an issue at all. You don’t even notice it unless you turn it completely sideways. And it’s the right shape so it looks fine from just about every other angle. This figure has its issues that should absolutely not exist on a $450 figure but that’s not one of them.
