So I just got a Jiang Xing MetalBeast-01 Winged Dragon (TM2 Megatron) in the mail the other day after finally taking the plunge. All I can say is that he's an awesome figure. The one I got is clearly the third run of the figure with the more "matted" paint. I guess my autism hit me eventually when I went online and started seeing reviews with a few differences other than the paint. I noticed that he didn't have these purple pieces on top of the dragon neck and these pointy pieces under it. It was then that I realized they actually ran this with pieces from their 3P Cryotek.
Now, I still think this is a fantastic figure, but I was going for show accuracy with my collection (I know he has other things that make him different from the show like the Dragon's teeth and the claws on the wing joint/hub), but I feel like I need a bit of copium here. Would this be a dealbreaker for anyone or just me? I think it's so fucking stupid that this bothers me because he really is only in a handful of episodes, but I really was excited for something that was as close to show accurate as you can possibly get at this point. I guess I'm having trouble with spending the almost 300 bucks on something that wasn't *entirely* what I expected. Pic related.
