    I assume this is from the same guys who are making the MP-44 KO?

    Awesome! Looking forward to getting a Hound I don’t need to keep double checking for cracks every few days.

    I haven't even opened my MP-47 Hound yet, but I'm already looking forward to the KO after seeing all the negatives about material quality and final fit and finish.

    Where's the quality, Takara? All part of an agreement between TT and 3rd-party to get more money out us?

    Let's see them put rubber tyres on this sucker!! :) 

    Nothing fallen off my official yet but a couple cracks, so I'll have one of these please. Make it good.

    I wonder whether they could improve structural integrity by neutering the gimmick of being able to transform him with the spare wheel and gasoline tank attached. But it seems they didn't do that.

    That's great! it was also unacceptable from a Takara Tomy Product.

    Hyped for this KO.

    How do you expect them to do that when the Wheels themselves have a seem because they fold in half

    I used to be all about official MP products - always used to get my pre-orders in, early adopter.
    Not anymore. I refuse to pony up inflated prices for official products that seem to have a high percentage/instance of QC issues. No MP44, no MP47, happy to wait for the KO as it’s sad to say there’s a chance the QC is improved.
    If TT improve their work I may consider going back to the old way. Until then, bring on the improved KO/3PKO stuff.

    My hope of a KO finally in the works, FT Willis was nice (well, still is), but the feet bothers me. Might pickup to of this KO if the price and materiel work out.

    I'm waiting for my official to arrive, and see if I have the same issues most others have had with cracking. If so, I'll probably get this as a replacement.

    Any word on extras?

    Sweet baby jesus. It's finally coming. I am so down for this. I was even debating getting the official a couple of times, but saw in the thread what a total shit show it was. So I'm really glad we'll finally have an alternative.
