I've seen a few reviews and this has made me realize something, funny enough somewhat unrelated to the figure.
>takara tomy can't into sculpting but 110% into engineering madness
Eh you can argue MUH CARTOON ACCURACY but something that homages both toy and toon is nice, mp36 at least did this with the inner leg markings, shame mp inferno didn't do this
>bandai can into sculpting but engineering is reserved for model kits when if made as a figure is still basic
I got the metal build f91 gundam and holy fucking shit I can handle this beauty and nothing flakes off unlike mp hotrod's chrome, not man handle it but with the price you'd be a retard to handle it like blatmatrix
>3p, licensed or not, can do both but the tf community is polarized into MUH TRANSFORMATION and MUH COLLECTABLES
W-we're better than this, r-right guys?
I love my transformers dearly but lately I've been trying other lines and me think hard, why hasn't hasbro PROPERLY commissioned the following lines?
>3p licensed action figures that give amazing articulation, diecast (tastefully), yet g1 enough so gewunners can get into them that isn't 3a stupidly sized
>commission autoart to make a line of licensed vehicles of 1/18 based on g1 vehicles with someone else to do decepticon war vehicles
I'm starting to get bored of the main retail line (no matter what class its still a literal kids toy and its becoming more apparent with what's being put on shelves) and mp's for as great as they are they're getting to the point where I'm leaving them in the mode they come in because the paint quality coupled with the clearances leaves me in sheer panic.
Hasbro knows real collectors are out there, we're willing to pay bullshit prices for some things, yes we have statues but another in between option would be amazing, mind you my 2 wouldn't be cheap (autoart's 1/18 ae-86 did cost a quarter of a paycheck) but its cheaper and more manageable than statueshit or 3a's efforts.
Eh?
