    I’m surprised that the price is that low. I was expecting it to cost as much as MP-44.

    No one gets mad and no one cares about your priorities.

    4th party don't exist.

    What silly euphemisms. Just call a knockoff a knockoff so everyone knows what it is

    I know, right? Almost as stupid as the fandom taking to calling the unlicensed use of Transformers likenesses third party as well.

    Because 3rd party implies some kind of legitimacy as product, versus companies that have to go into hiding or change their box art to look a box of male enhancement pills you pick up at the gas station because they are afraid Hasbro is looking in their direction.

    It’s just another name for KO’s and is technically correct, idk why people get triggered by its use. Official figures are technically 1st party, 3rd party are originally molds, 4th party is apparently KO’s. It’s just a differentiation.

    Ironically this post almost comes off as you being mad.

    I wish they didn't leave that part behind the cockpit hollow. It's a little unsightly. They could have saved plastic by having a rotating faction symbol like the Siege toy and used that plastic to cover the side.

    Also, the lack of any waist articulation is disappointing. I would definitely take a fake nose cone for some waist rotation and ab crunch.

    They probably understand it's pointless to compare products from different lines.

    you do know that the transformer fandom didn't coin the term 3rd party for unlicensed products yes?

    Well we sure as hell took to it. Along with 4th party too. Anyway, I dunno why I'm getting wound up with this (probably five days in the same room is getting to me), I buy it all anyway:lol

    Watching that video has me hyped even more for MP 57. Nice to see TT didn't over engineer him. His transformation is simple, straightforward, and elegant. Does not bother me that he doesn't have waist swivel. I find you can still get some great dynamic poses without one. Now for the long six month wait.

    not really when it comes to the big things sometimes a masterpiece fits better than the limited price points of the regular lines look at star saber he can fit on any shelf, i used the original mp grimlock on my shelf for years as my go to version next to the original classics optimus prime, heck if studio series 86 wasnt so good he would still be there
