    I'd think you could remove the backpack, since it is meant to attach to a leg in combined mode.

    Ugh I hate how good these guys look! I’ve been watching from the sidelines looking at the beauty of em. I just can’t spend the type of money it requires to get em all. I’m still undecided on Suiken as he’s my favourite (that green is so beautiful). May just grab him and enjoy the pics n vids of the full combiner.

    Depends on where the head is going. Cause it seems like it might fold into the backpack. If I'm wrong, we're good.

    I'm usually a love something about every toy and don't kibble shame kinda guy, but this last trainbot just screams PASS. I haven't dove in so far on Raiden, and a manilla shellformer with weird shoulder kibble is the least likely so far to win me over. The price/execution has been a miss for me, and I don't have the OG toys to compare with anyhoodle...

    Yeah, it's kind of balanced in one hand, and the counterweight is braced by his other hand. Looks totally fine to me.

    What is this part here? Looks like it detaches from the main bot, right? Not just him scrunched up. So that means part of the backpack is removable. I wonder how much better it looks without that part.

    Truely deserves MPGarbage line.

    I don't understand what is the point of making CHUG figurines with realistic train modes, while completely spitting on Raiden mode and robot modes, so also call it Masterpiece and pass off something really good for the price? Train fans will buy trains, Raiden fans will buy the Moon Studio offering.

    Just curious, for people that are really against this figure, do you have the first two? I'm curious how challenging it is to not have the complete team.

    Eh, not really. I was a huge fan of the MS when they came out, but after buying two Shouki’s and one Getsuei I can say they are both two different things. The MPG ones are very train accurate and IMO thats half the fun right there.

    By all indications, that's the leg weapon. Looks nothing like it's supposed to, except for the general shape, but I'm pretty confident.

    Can you post a clear image of MP Raiden that is 'completely spitting on Raiden mode'? I haven't seen one yet, so that would be really helpful, thank you!

    Certainly does! People just love to hate what doesn't affect them
