>>5687645Everytime I think about getting a 3rd party figure, I always hesitate and end up buying Macross, soul of Chogokin, and other stuff instead. The polish just isn't really there for me to justify the price. The designs always feel a bit off to me. I prefer the best of the official stuff to the best of 3P, design wise.
Ultimately, while I do own MPs and all, Transformers fall n the realm of "cheap" toys, for the most part. Just like how I wouldn't spend $10+ on a Marvel Legend, I don't really see myself spending $100+ on Transformers(unless its an MP.) Plus most 3Ps tend to be designed in Classics style, which I'm heavily trimming down on. As for the MP style stuff, I'm actually patient so I'd rather wait for the official takara releases, rather than something that doesn't match the MP aesthetics.
When we get 3P stuff on the same level of SoC Gaogaigar, then I'll bite.
