    I mean... it's my opinion.... I think he's overrated. I don't like his shoulders, I don't like his cannon, his hips are too far apart for me.

    Hey guys, I think I have an unpopular one!

    I don’t like any of MMC’s stuff other than the cassettes. I don’t even know why, it just doesn’t quite get there for me.

    I got close with Azalea, she looks pretty alright, but still not enough to get my wallet out.

    I don’t even like toys ... it’s just an elaborate ruse to hide my out of control drug habit from the wife! :)

    The cartoon actually looks better than these "MP" bots.

    CHUG is currently being produced by Hasbro so there's no point in going that way for any 3P

    Same as MP is currently being produced by Takara, then why 3Ps are making so many of MP scale ones?

    do I really have to underline that Takara produced a very small amount of characters, while Hasbro nearly covered them all? No, I don't, c'mon.

    Sometimes "heroic landing" looks more like "gonna take a nap right here"

    I could do with A LOT less heft in FT figures... I think it's entirely to the detriment of Sovereign...too heavy to pose. And their smaller figures...it doesn't kill their poseability, but it certainly doesn't help it. It's unnecessary.

    Unique Toys has amazing transformation schemes but really terrible sculpt work. I know that they don't have access to the CAD files, but other comapnies such as Dream Factory have far better sculpt work put into it. It's a shame because on paper their ~~Knight Orion~~ Challenger is god tier.

    I genuinely like Fans Toys Tesla v1.0 to this day. Didn't hate his original face, but with the Inferno face swap adapter created by a member here, he's a great looking Perceptor on my shelf.

    Maketoys figures are shrimps. You've got to take the head off to appreciate them.

    MMC figures very often feel unpainted

    Here, I’ve got some for you:

    Maketoys Despotron > MP-36.

    Maketoys facesculpts are great.

    3P Quintessa needs to happen.
