This guy also made a very good transformation video, but this video really demonstrates how posable and natural looking Prime really is:

 

What batteries does he take?

 

Sorry if I come off as rude here & if this has already brought up, but for those of you with knees ratchet issues, why not just send it back for either a replacement or a full refund, instead of having to fix it yourself? Sending it back may let TT know that this is something they need to look into and fix (on a reissue at the very least) and that we refused to except this kind of flaw on such an expensive figure. I just don't think it's a good idea to encourage those with this kind of defect with their MP-44 to try to "fix them yourself"

My 2 cents & am truly happy for those who are getting a good copy  

 

Why the fuck does a $600 figure have QC issues? HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK?! Congratulations Takara, you have no officially LOST me 

 

More bonehead, unless this was some running change they made after the first few test shots and went too far the other way.

 

uh that's a double negative i think.

 

600? did you get 2? lol

sucks that some people have issues but every time someone complains they inflate the price even more...

 

Can’t speak for the rest , but I’ll wait for the Chinese tf community to make a move first , since there are more news of the knee issues there , with them receiving theirs first . And move forward from there depending on how Takara handles it .
No need for a knee jerk reaction afterall

 

Lol now its $600??? maybe I should sell mine and make a profit./s

 

Well I did it... I bought prime, it’s gunna be a two week wait cuz amazon JP has him on back order till the 10th but I got him for 345 so I’m pretty happy

 

You're doing a better job of selling this figure to me than Takara have done. Well played sir!

 

Hair dryer baby . 3 30 second cycles of high heat and some bending into place and your good to go .

 

So my shipment's "on hold" according to DHL. Is there any reason why it would be? It's supposed to arrive today and I don't know if that's something to really be concerned about.

 

Sweet! Can I ask when did you order get shipped?

 

it hasn't been shipped yet but they said the next 3 days, probably including today. i should of said that the photo is from their facebook.

 

Three LR44’s

 

I didn’t realise how posable he actually was, that’s really impressive

 

Now I want someone to make the same kind of video with Napoleon Dynamite’s dance!  

 

I just got and transformed mine. I was really worried I made the wrong choice in getting rid of TE-01 for this guy, but, NOPE.
TE-01 is a great figure, but MP-44 is just PREMIUM beyond belief. He's much more alive!
