I don’t pay attention to a reviewers normally, but I think it’s only fair that they review a copy that was either given to them for review by the company who made the toy, or they bought it off the shelf. To formulate an opinion on a factory reject, or a copy that “fell off the truck” can lead to an opinion about the toy that’s misleading for both company and consumer.

 

I’m too scared to do this, but it looks soooooo good. Eh. If I screw it up, Ill just buy another.

 

I must admit I bought this because I wanted to "redo" the backpack mod (cutting it into just two pieces instead of three) and it was cheaper buying this version than the original again.

The extra paint is pretty nice, though I miss the blue headlights that added some color to the robot mode. Would've loved for them to include the gun as well as the saw, make this the "ultimate" release instead of just a "fancy" one. Also they really misaligned the decal here:

 

Hasbro’s QC seriously needs improvement. They ask for more money but give worse quality. My Sideways only has a half painted grill.

 

Isn’t this Takara?

 

I thought they were the same

 

Nah I’m pretty sure Hasbro has nothing to do with this like the MP’s.
