so how widespread was that breakage issue?

 

Some are reporting them, some aren't, but they are completely avoidable.
Fans Hobby has said though that they will be finding ways to send replace pieces to anyone who needs them once the New Year break is over.

 

It’s too early to tell. Only reviewers that I know of to have MB-15 is Peaugh, Sixo and maybe Benscollectables.

It doesn’t seem too bad although you can actually see the cracks on some of the development posts on the Fanshobby Instagram page if you look at the ones focusing on the upper torso for super robot mode. I’m not sure how they missed it now. From what I’ve gathered the issue is minor if you’re mindful of how you’re moving things around.

huh...so his smaller mode is basically the same height as a voyager?

 

19-20cmish depending how much you have the legs extended.

Don't know how that scales compared to modern voyagers but there you go.

 

When mine comes in I'll post a picture with Earthrise Prime, and maybe my Cybertron redeco Bendimus Prime. Or, y'know, I could take requests. I have a lot of Optimuses to compare with...

 

I just ordered mine from TCP. I've never been so hype for a third party item since Fansproject's City Commander in 08

 

The colours in that picture are so nice! Love it! I am glad that cracks seem to be avoidable. I will try to get the replacement parts anyway just in case.

 

Mine is gonna be here sometime today I can’t wait!

 

I’m going to ask for the replacement parts even if mine doesn’t break. I know I won’t be able to put this guy down so I think I’m more likely to end up with the cracks and I wouldn’t want to wait. I’m still trying to figure out exactly how they could provide a fix though. Maybe an entirely new cab roof piece that you have to remove at the hinge that swings up to allow for the super head to come out maybe? That’s a pretty tedious sounding job.

I just hope nothing is missing with my copy. Especially the missiles, and wish it came with 7 and not just 6 so I could have one in his blaster too as well as filling up the launchers. I wonder if they’d send me an extra one if I asked them?

 

Well the pre order cancel was too close to it being in stock and shipping so he’s on his way I guess! On the plus side, our tax return randomly came in so that helped a ton!

 

If that’s not a sign I don’t know what is. I hope you enjoy him!

 

Seriously!! That was a bright light for sure. Gotta count the blessings!

 

Post pics and thoughts of your figure please.

 

So far very nice I haven’t had any of those cracks or issues everyone has been hAving cosmetically. I don’t have much masterpiece but this is as premium feel as you can get. Plastic feels better then the old Armada prime lol and transformations simple an fun, I can’t stop toying with the missle launching gimmick heh. It’s super exciting and definitely better then I expected it to be.. my spark plug transforms perfectly fine aswell definitely worth the wait!

 

If I may ask, which ears do you prefer?

 

I’m so jealous dude, enjoy! Let us know if you find any other QC issues since they’ll be worth noting and passing along to Fanshobby while they’re working out a fix for the cracks.

How much can you get out of the waist swivel before it physically stops on Prime himself? Im really interested to investigate that mechanism myself because it’s really neat. I think it might be similar to what MMC did with their Bruticus on the hands on Vortex and Blast Off.

Just ordered a second copy from The Chosen Prime since theirs are in stock and ready to ship. Not sure when Kapow will get theirs but I can’t wait for this. Bad self control I’m aware but after waiting 18 or so years for a figure like this it’s too much. Will most likely keep the other one MISB for display or for spare parts until Fanshobby can get their fixes out.

 

Only just noticed the other day how the truck mode headlights arent on the fenders. How odd

STILL. That super mode is FLAWLESS
