    Legit counting the days till Wonderfest to hopefully see Cliff as one of Takara's spotlight figures, should they be there. Also crossing my fingers for some sort of surprise reveal, haha.

    I'm not expecting much but you could only hope it ends up being a sea of new MPs.

    Fingers crossed indeed! Anything would be nice but I really want to know about Cliff and the Porsche license in particular. It's such a big part of transformers lore...Guess we will see what happens.

    Same, and who knows? Maybe Raiden will get a big update, perhaps?

    Either way yeah, we'll see what happens...

    so i just picked up V2 on the forums here. His hips seem a bit loose forwards & back. Is this a known issue or has mine simply been rode hard & put away wet? If a known issue, what's need to address it?

    Not that I’m aware of. It might be handy to start one, I guess! The question does come up from time to time.

    Just picked up a copy a week ago. I'm just curious, what are the differences between the KO/factory stock and the genuine figure? I don't have that silver sticker at the bottom of my box, so I'm sort of panicking right now...

    That could be really really useful, paint chipping is something inevitable, and a 2 euro solution inside the drawer is always a welcome option

    Unfortunately I ordered these stickers last year from them and they never arrived to my country I guess because the package was too small .

    I asked them tracking number but they said they haven't. I give up on them for now.

    I don't think my copy looks bad now. By the way I tried another brands Lemon yellow but it didn't work .

    Yeah, that looks great! Does that go on the outside or inside?

    Why didn't TT do blue windows on him? Was it because of the feet?

    I guess they'll sell the blue version as MP-45 Plus or MP 45 anime colours. This is what Takara always do .

    TBF i haven't seen an anime color + outside the obvious carbot repaints, and the Shockwave is debatable (i prefer the anime +, but the normal version is toon accurate too, depends only about what purple shading do you want on Shockwave)

    Yeah, I think since MP33, the default has been cartoon accurate (though those two molds were kinda both, with the swappable bumpers).
