    Anxiously waiting some of those Chinese video reviews. Love me some MPP size figures.

    Okey dokey, just had a quick look before work. First, he's one big boy, and pretty hefty.

    The gas tanks, smoke stacks and wheel rims are chromed. He's got ratchets in the hips, both front-to-back and outward and swivels, a ratcheted waist and outward ratchets in the shoulders. Wheels are rubber.

    The articulated hands are similar to MP carbots; the index finger is separate from the others and has an extra joint while the other three are fused together and only hinge at the base knuckle. The thumb is fixed. There's a tab added to the palm that slots into the gun handle.

    Oh, and the leg panels plug in and stay in.

    Edit: Just had some more hands-on with Optimus during lunch. Some differences between this and the original SS38 mould: One, the mushroom pegs for the wrist are now on the outside of the forearm, not on the hands. This made swapping to the articulated hands a bit tricky as they're held together by two pegs and the pin for the base knuckle.
    Two, there is an MP10-style matrix in the chest. It's painted beautifully in gold and silver with a translucent blue gem. Unfortunately, it looks to be molded in.

    Sounds like a buy. Thanks for the info. Plus I have the MPP10 trailer, so that's a bonus.

    How are the hinges on his toes? If you look at the promo copy, both hinges have stress marks.

    Very good. I’m hoping I can put MPP-10’s hands on him, without it looking like Mickey Mouse.
