    Charge extra to touch or transform?

    You could have a display next to each one playing the YouTube reviews of each figure...

    Erm....sounds like a dumb idea to me as you'll always have some hamfisted idiot who will be a bit overzealous with the toys and will cause you to have to buy them over and over again!

    :lol

    Interesting! This needs to be saved somewhere!

    It’s like the climate change reset button. I could stare and think about how my life would be after obtaining it. But I have to have it!

    Luckily we aren't really doing it. It was just my wife's response to me wanting a figure to experience it, but not sure if I wanted to pay for it. That figure was purchased and then later sold

    It’s a good idea, but two things:
    -As someone said, people would not buy figures anymore. So we would not get figures anyway!
    -Or it could work as I for example would even more want to get a figure once I have seen how awesome it is. I would not be happy just trying it or being able to get to a shop to handle it.

    It could work both ways. I think some figures look great, and then think the transformation looks less than fun. It would save me the money of buying it. But also, a great transformation could enhance my wants and actually make me buy it. The transformation itself is a HUGE factor in how much I like a figure

    Yes that could make me change my mind. Also the figures look so different in reality than from the pictures. Like chrome actually! By the way, is MP-44 actually supposed to have chrome or will it be silver?

    Sorry but that’s a recipe for disaster. Ever see, heck ANYTHING that’s on display for people to “touch” or look at aka a display model? It’s always beat down to be damned after just a month...and these MP are far more fragile.

    People taking selfies with museum exhibits only to destroy them is the limit. MPs won’t stand a chance. I had a friend’s kid break a KO Prowl and he just said, “I’m a kid. What do you expect? I don’t know what I’m doing.”

    Better charge a lot for admission.

    Would be awesome if they made these parts die cast as well!

    If this kind of thing happened to me, I would not feel angry, but really really sad. I am weird about these figures but it would be like if they were injured. Imagine if he broke your MP-44: not only is he expensive, but if I had it, he would have a very very special value to me, because OP, because first official MP, because of other things... I guess it’s what you call sentimental value.

    I know it’s just toys but why can’t people understand that you work really hard all day long to pay for these things because it makes you happy and not respect it?

    A lot of people seldom respect the property of others or the hard work needed. I was luckybit was a KO and not Cordon like he started going towards.

    No one and I mean no one plays with Prime. They can look but touch.

    It took me a while to get there but now I feel fine with ppl messing with my figures. I feel if someone breaks something at least I had a good run. That said it may take some time to get there with mp-44.
