    Shared packaging between two molds. Just like Huffer/Pipes as others have noted.

    I think it does what it's supposed to do well - it's simple fun and easy to play with an evokes the character it's supposed to represent.
    If anyone has any doubts about them bare in mind if you are worried about the price of them as an impulse buy there are frequent cashback and money off vouchers on ebay ideally suited to MFT purchases and if you don't want the mini-mechs there is always someone very happy to take them off your hands and a combination of the two makes them a very cheap buy indeed.

    Why does it sound like you have him already?
    :eek: 

    Are you just speeking for MFT as a whole, or are you holding out on us? o_O

    I was actually replying to someone but for some reason I forgot to put the quote in I was talking about Pipes/Huffer in general but the points also apply to the Hotsoldiers or the other small items that suit play with Hasbro or Takara Legends size toys as well as to general comments related to MFT's Swerve and Gears homages. Basically just saying to anyone on the fence about them that there are ways to minimise the cost with voucher codes, cashback and selling the mini-mechs on to those who collect them.

    It sure does. It'd be really weird if it didn't come with that toy head, huh?
    That could get me to buy it.
    No toy head, no sale.
    (battle masks are cool!)



    I have that toy and I love it. Oh look, Battle Mask!
    Toy head = sale.

    So, from the pictures it looks like MS-16 can turn his head to some degree. I am wondering how difficult it will be to remove that head and replace it with a printed masked version.

    Do we have a concrete release date for this yet? Kinda hesitant to trust posted release dates on store sites, since they're rarely adhered to.

    The only accurate dates that MFT gives are "Next Week"

    I must admit, I typed my reply as fast as humanly possible, afraid I'd lose my thunder to a faster ninja.

    Jeez, yeah.. I'm a little concerned about bot mode. Though, Gears and Swerve weren't super high on my want list.
