    That looks good. Though I wish they didn't paint the face white.

    Cool! Would love to see it next to existing figures, for scale!

    Very cool!

    That would be an excellent display piece. :)

    Take it with a grain of salt (I may have screwed up calculations), but here's a rough idea of how MP-10 and Revoltech Convoy would scale.

    What's up with MP-10's proportions in the lower region of his body? His shins and crotch are longer than the actual toy.

    Anyways, this looks awesome as a display piece! Might be too expensive, though. Wait, it is.

    It's probably just foreshortening from the angle that the original photograph was taken at.

    EDIT: No, you're right, it's completely out of whack. Looks like the original image was shopped to begin with, with proportions all over the joint and I didn't notice. The overall height should still be correct though.

    I don't own any, so I'm not sure about scale. Best I can ascertain is they're about 2-inches tall? If that's the case, it'd look something like this:

    About the right size for Unicron to chew on :D

    I'll just keep my Cybertron Primus Unicron head and deluxe tank alt-mode variants for my collection.

    I cannot say that this doesn't look nice, it really does.

    However, for a non transforming piece, there is no way I could ever justify spending $300 on it. $100, or maybe $150, sure. But $300, I cannot see it.

    Price seems reasonable to me. No different than those other detailed, non-moveable, display sculptures that are made and sold for hundreds of dollars. What surprised me about this though is the amount of detailing on the bottom of the head....like it'd be a shame not to show that off somehow. BTW, is this an officially licensed figure?
