    I think UT captures the look of Swindle better, although this one is more accurately colored.

    Are people going to insist that this meets the MP standard in aesthetics?

    I mean, it looks like a neat toy, but it does not look like a Masterpiece item to me.

    It isn't absurd though. Zeta has been the exception to the rule cost- wise.

    TFC Toys debuted all of their combiners at $100 a limb years ago, MMC did the same w Feral Rex, and Warbotron did the same.

    This isn't new.

    Im honestly confused as to how it could look MORE MP.

    If Zeta does, this definitely does. The Zeta version of Swindle looks like a cartoon character trying to eat a cheeseburger.

    As someone who hates the current "animation-error-based" MP aesthetic, I'm glad this doesn't look "exactly like current MPs".

    Well I wouldn't say Zeta quite does either. I just mean theres lots of extra chunks of plastic on the surface. It reminds me more if WB/GT or BadCube stuff than clean MP stuff like FT, XTB, or even DX9.

    Zeta Swindle's mouth is still wide open for more, clearly he's not done yet.

    Either way this looks really good, I hope there's an alt head with more of a smirk.

    Those were all released years ago. At that point it was more expensive to make a figure , now 3p can make MP figures for the price that a deluxe or voyager sized chug 3p would cost back then.

    Really wish they could pull off that look with Swindle's lower leg, and how the wheel shows on the inside of it. But still, IMO, it looks better than UT and Zeta. I'm all in for this set

    Wait a second----so officially, Swindle has tires "always on the left side of his legs", not inner vs outer?

    PS---yup, I thought the arm-cannon looked a bit small.

    Yeah, I understand now why I like the UT one better, the upper body shouldn't protrude like that.

    It's just the way he's positioned, that's why
