    Holy guacamole! So around $100 shipped? I passed on the original, but that price is pretty tempting for a figure of this size & quality!

    I'm not a huge fan of weathering, so no great loss there. And he'd be a good adversary for Magnificent Mecha MM-01!

    So MT-01B doesn't have the battle worn/weathered paint job the original has?

    Yep. No weathering, no sword, no alternate "battle mask" head.

    I don't care about the weathering or those accessories, so I'm really happy they're offering this cheaper "bare-bones" option. Half the price, and still looks spectacular!

    Can someone post a pic of the “battle mask” head. I’m just curious what it looks like. I didn’t see it in the pics on Show-Zs site.

    Would be more "Cobra Commander" like if the "mask" didn't look like it was glued on the front.

    May I ask how you got the paint to look so smooth?

    What about its dominant paint apps (silver, black, red, gold)? Are they bolder on MT-01B?

    Help Needed!

    Reassembling the legs due to a faulty Ratchet - just undid the 4 screws holding the 2 leg sliders together, and can't figure out how it goes back :/ other side has stripped screws out of the box so can't compare.

    Unscrewed the 4 circled screws holding the hip slider halves together:
    Screenshot_20230519-144841_Messenger.jpg

    Leaving you with these pieces - a spring, screw with washer, and hip plate (other half is attached to the hip joint)

    20230519_144228.jpg

    I forgot to check what order it was all assembled in

    does the spring go down first, with the screw/washer screwed on top of it holding it in place? 20230519_144259.jpg


    Or does the screw/washer go down first, with the spring inserted between the 2 parts of the hip plates?

    If someone could disassemble their one to advise I would really appreciate it. You just unscrew the 4 circled screws on the hips and it comes right off. I'm really stuck, please help

    I’m selling my Megatank if anyone is interested. Love the figure but I just don’t have the shelf space for him. He demands some real estate! Both heads have had their eyes painted with a clear coat for sealing.

    Hello jimmyh,

    I'm interested in purchasing the mt01 monocrat megatron decepticon logo. Do you have one in black that's weathered?

    If so, please let me know how I can purchase. Thanks in advance.

    OYC

    Today's front-page story reminded me, are the other releases of this guy ever coming out? The release date just keeps getting pushed back month by month... I expect that from BBTS, but I'm seeing it everywhere I shop....
