    Kirby on a Wheelie is just the icing on the cake, haha. Little puffball never ceases to put a smile on my face.

    OK, this is awesome. Holy shit, lol.

    MP Kirbi has been leaked.


    Not bad at all!

    Care to share a link with the upgrade/instructions/where to buy?

    Gracias.

    There goes my hopes of owning this figure. Looks good after the work but it looks to risky to implement.....

    Hmmm does look good although @MC Rap Throne's looks better. So many questions though...

    - Why is it made of translucent blue plastic??

    - Don't mean to be a jerk, but is that guy really bad at that, or would pushing that pin out and putting it back really be that terrifyingly difficult?

    - Alt mode? how does it look?

    TMan and TM Reviews both installed it and broke their copies too, so I don't think it's an easy process getting the chest off

    I got one from the batch that TM got and mine broke as well. HZ did said the hole was not located correctly and was causing the breakage. I believe the material was a little too fragile to handle the pin being installed. As for the chest plate it looked amazing and if HZ made a sturdier version I would totally be on board to get one!

    I'm not totally convinced Takara wont issue an 86' movie version for the anniversary as a mall exclusive, slightly different shade of pink, corrected chest and fuller face.

    I personally wouldn't really expect it but eh, why not? Sounds good to me regardless, hahahaha.

    But now that gets me wondering, would they end up doing an '86 MP-28 repaint or throw out a Rodimus 2.0 with a 2-in-1 transformation? Decisions, decisions...

    Either that or make her a headmaster. Based on what we know it’s highly unlikely we get a “ new” movie figure in 2022 maybe 2023, I’m expecting CJ, some of Raiden and something BW to round out the end of next year. Then again there’s 3 anniversaries, the movie,BW, and Armada they may not even go out of their way for the movie. Closest we might get is a repaint or reissue

    Yeah, it definitely seems like at least part of the year will be a bit peculiar to make out cause of those 3 anniversaries. A lot to wonder about.

    Would love to see an MP Armada Prime just out of nowhere though, planning on getting Naval Commander and I have a PO out on Meg-Tyranno but seeing something blindside us like that for the anniversary would be quite a treat.

    For the pin removal and reinserting, I think they all should have used a hair dryer to heat up the plastic around that neck area beforehand, to make it softer and more flexible. Not sure how the resin piece reacts to being heated, as it might make it more fragile. So maybe don't heat up that part.

    I saw hz's fb and it was suggested to heat up the area.


    For bulk ordering.

    Seems like about 20 pieces from his 2nd batch were problematic (pinhole not right) bit I think he is on his 3rd batch now, not sure.

    I think of this when I see these upgrades:



    But that’s just my opinion.
