Got mine a week ago, then I sold it... man I really hate repair costs for Fanatec products. I saw some $100 listings for mp-44 on ebay, so it'll be tempting again if I want it.
Yeah, I found those arm panels to be scary tight to move the one time I transformed it and I don't know how it's going to hold up to repeated use over time. Probably the worst thing about the transformation on the KO. I will say this for the official, parts on it move much more smoothly and with substantially less fear of breaking. While there's nothing floppy or loose on my KO (other than the ab crunch that simply can't lock into place, and that's still not floppy) there are a lot of joints on it that are tighter than I would like. Especially given the soft plastic they have used on it. Truth be told, I'm much more afraid that I am going to break the KO than I am that I'm going to break the official.
east coast showz 11er here...woulda got mine monday but had it shipped to work....long story short actually got it yesterday. so far only time to take a quick look. finish looks great in person...thats the only opinin i have .... so far. it'll be a coupel weeks before i get time to go through the pdf and tinker/fix it. being as i don't think the alt mode is very well done and the process is "Scary" for most here i think this is just mostly gonna get posed once in a while. if i get real brave and have free time maybe...i'll tf it. maybe.
Looks like I'm gonna have to go get me one of those. At least you were able to move them. They literally can't move at all on my copy, likely a silly design error...that can no doubt happen with some degree of frequency with shapes of that sort.
I don't believe there is yet... So I took an ultrafine gold paint pen to mine... Won't hold up to any real rubbing or impact, but I have no intention of taking it back out of the matrix chamber, so it works for me!
So I'm looking for an mp44 ko and it seems like they no longer exist. But, then I stumble across an Ebay listing for the ko WITH, all non-prime Accessories. Heads, Trailer, people. But, now there's like 14 people watching it. How much do you all think it'll go for?
They still exist. Just been out for a bit. Seems another batch is in the way. [Pre-Order] 4th Party Masterpiece MP-44 Optimus Prime Version 3.0
Well it's still available at showz [Pre-Order] 4th Party Masterpiece MP-44 Optimus Prime Version 3.0 Although if it's not damage and nobody places any absurd bets on it for the next week that's a steal.
I saw the showz listing, but I'm kind of worried seeing as the ETA is unknown and there's since been the Weijang raid which is who I thought made these.
The rumor for this figure was yes model, and they seem to still be alive, so idk. Definitely not made by WJ from why I know.
