    The legs are VERY accurate, even more than TW09.

    Yes, I must admit I haven't looked too deeply at the differences recently just because I thought they both looked good, TW FL looks terrific to me as well without a doubt. I ended up going for this version for whatever reason, but comparing them now again there are always things I like about one more than the other. The price is good on this big fella and if the QC turns out to be good too I will be very pleased. Whichever you get, you'll have a giant and fine representation of BB Prime if you ask me! This also feels like a cheeky bit of WJ contraband bought from a sunken battleship, which appeals to me as a momento.

    I mean this also respectlfully and agree with you...it's like in art class (of which this self taught artist did take as a kid...I'm sorry), but there are some who can't judge or don't see differences all that well unless laid out mathematically...or physically. I don't believe FS will be similar at all to SS38 but they all can't vary much from each other as well. Legs behind, cab/chest in front...arms folded back and in...it's a 90% pattern thing with this iteration of OP. BUT...we can all agree FS nails the legs...no skipped leg day for him.

    I think the only weak parts of M09 to TW-F09 are its chest and head (for some people it's why they choose F09). The M09's lower body and legs are much better. The other parts are mostly tied.
    And one thing I really like is that M09 was always improved to have better details each time there was an update.
    I wished they had time to fix those chest and head, but as WJ is shutdown, this is the best we can get.

    What's most tempting with this figure is that ShowZ said that the package for this guy could be less than 2kg (ok to ship to me)

    For the price and the detail, I'm good with it. I don't need high-end toys to display or play with.

    He doesn’t seem to have ab crunch and the way his “backpack” files seems off to me. Prime looks like he has been working out and got really buffed.

    Main reason I’m not going for him. As much as I want to support WJ and want their “last” figure, TW’s more slender and articulated design won me over. It just looks right to me.

    For those that like this better, more power to you. Please enjoy this figure for me and share pictures. I’ll be watching with great interest.

    Agree everything on your picture comparison, but don't agree with this statement "AM's Prime is decent, but way overpriced." --- I bought my BMB Prime for $63 with free shipping from Aliexpress(before the COVID19), that's only 1/2 price of WJ, and you want to label this "overpriced"?
    The difference show on your pic doesn't justify the 100% price markup from BMB(am) to WJ, plus WJ version as we know won't have after sale support.

    Now that I have my Show Z account working I was about to pull the trigger when I had a thought:

    What if these are QC riddled rush jobs to get them out before the authorities nab them?

    I went for ToyWorld over this too. When the first comparison pictures came out I thought Freedom Leader beat this one in every way. But then I actually got it, and it literally fell apart in my hands. Suddenly this guy not skipping gym day didn't seem so bad.

    Glad I could help!! But yes, I agree about the calves!! I'm really excited to get him!!
    I know exactly what you mean, I've been in several discussions over things like that I'm the main thread that I follow.
    Oh come on!! Can someone load this vid on YouTube?? I got a warning on my phone when I tried to watch it using the link, and I'm not risking it lol
    I'm ok with him not having an ab crunch. None of my TFs one, and they work perfectly fine.
    I buy all my TFs from ShowZ, and their original price for him was $87.99, but is is now on sale for $79.99. I think both prices are ridiculous!!

    While I think that you got him for a decent price, I still think that he's worth around $50, and that's based on all the inaccuracies.

    Nevermind the little guy in the front, I currently don't have a better pic of my WJ/BA Prime.
    20200612_030418-01-01-01-01-01-01-02-01-01-01.jpeg
    But take WJ/BA Prime, he has THE least inaccuracies when compared to all the other MPM Primes, and yet he was only $104 when I got him, and was last $124, and it's the same with M09.

    IMO, price should be based on 2 things, size and accuracy. And while AM's meets one, he's severely lacking in accuracy.
    From what I understand, the current batch had already been made, which is why there's a limited quantity for him. So I don't think QC issues due to him being rushed is gonna be an issue.
