He just left China's airspace, so I'm hoping to know in a week or two!
The pics & videos I've seen look REALLY good!
Looking forward to comparing them both myself, side by side!

 

Then I very much look forward to hearing your response with a review! I'm really excited to get it and the MP 44 KO but I want some hands on reviews first in english

 

Good to see Jobby back.

 

I wonder if an orange repaint will be released at some point. I love the white siberian tiger motif but would also like a bengal variant. Any other takers?

 

It lacks the gorgeous grainy matte paint job in beast mode, but instead is just bare shiny white plastic. I'd definitely recommend going with the official over a KO.

 

Thanks for the review

 

I'd love an orange one as a new character and a rival or comrade to Shadow Panther.

 

In other words: Official superior, KO inferior!

 

‘t Was ever thus!

 

Agreed, the jungle warrior is adequate considering the price point but the short cuts in quality are readily apparent. I've been in the market for a tiger bot for two months and I've had a lot of missed opportunities and people recommending the KO to me which I have no interest in, any suggestions where I can pickup the official figure from a vendor at a reasonable price?

 

While beast wars was fun to watch, these designs were all ugly as shit. 

 

Not sure how much you're looking to spend, but I see him here, and you can get 3% off for the rest of the month
Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-50 MP50 Tigatron

 

Get lost.

 

Just saying that they look like an imitation cheap tf ko from the 80's that they were trying to pass of as tfs.

Aside from the 3d modeling being shit back then, the designs themselves weren't all that great tbh. The only ones I can think of that looked goid were that white dinobot, dragon megs and when tigertron merged and became flying tigertron. Most others were truly bad lol.

You can like whatever you want, just my 2 cents.

 

eBay is probably your best bet at this point. Good luck!

 

Highly recommend Terry's site. He ships incredibly fast and great prices. Or check out The Chosen Prime or BBTS

 

Thanks for the tip but I pulled the trigger on a listing from Mandarake courtesy of [Wing_Saber-X] The price point is fairly good I'm just waiting for the invoice for payment once the store checks inventory. Let's see if this one pans out.

 

I have to get this off my chest.

Last year I had pre-ordered my MP-50 in Robotkingdom, and when it was already a month away, they told me that there was no HK shipment to my country due to the f*cking covid, So I told them that I could wait the necessary time until the pandemic passes, whether it be months or even years, BUT THOSE SONS OF THE MOTHER DID NOT LISTEN TO ME AND GIVEN ME THE REFUND!!!, This affected the currency exchange rate of my country, losing about 18 dollars, ARRRGGG!!!



But the good thing is that this refund helped me to buy the Beast Wars Kingdom.



But it makes me angry that I don't have my MP-50.  

 

Ah yeah, I came across that one too when I did a search yesterday. But I noticed it was second hand with box wear and so I didn't post the link. Awesome that WSX did though, and it suits your needs.

Hope it pans out and you can get him soon!  

 

Yup, my intention is to have it out for display so I didn't need a sealed box figure, it's the first time I've purchased through this vendor so I'm very interested to see it's condition when it shows up in about a month. I had another prospect for purchase in California from a Facebook group unfortunately the seller was asking way above fair market value and shipping hadn't even been factored in. Since I got back into TF collecting so many people here have been so helpful with there time and advice it's really made this hobby a delightful diversion from the worries in the world.
