    Moon Studio's figures are off-model and sacrifice robot and train modes for combined mode

    I will not stop dumping on Moon Studio's excuse for Shouki. Seriously, its like taking Bulkhead and making him tall and thin

    Those pictures make it look a lot better than the official photos, but I still don’t like the lower legs. They would look better if they looked more like a box than two perpendicular panels strapped to a thin armature.

    Final copy looks sharp, considerable difference from the prototype.

    It does indeed. The colors are nicer too. Different lighting also helps. No mold changes compared to the prototype that I can see.

    Huh interesting, looks like the roof was changed to be silver. Think it was just grey before right?

    It's hard to take anyone seriously when they can't even bother to proofread what they wrote before they post.

    I'm getting both sets, TT & Moon Studios. Both sets do alot right, and both sets get some stuff wrong. You can't go wrong with either one. Depends on what your looking for, for your collection.

    It seems that the clear plastic is gone... Or Better, only on the windows little pieces

    Some people needs reassurance on their choice trashing the other figures... I mean, it's ok, you like it, you win. Be a little more confident on your choices

    Main train side panels are still painted clear plastic. You can see the unpainted edges in bot mode.

    Don’t worry about it. Hadn’t been an issue with any of the MPs so far.

    Apparently they noticed that Getsuei's images were being used.

    I noticed the bottom of the placard is missing. Is that what you mean?
