>>6598102The problem with the mpm line is its a joint venture between hasbro and takara, sure takara have their own versions but they're just as BAD as hasbro with cost cutting.
Hasbro
>ok lets design this thing under budget, little less paint apps, gah too much plastic, maybe reduce the tolerances, WOAH there takara guys slow down w-we cant keep up with your crazy ideas!Takara
>Just use the shitty thing the americans brought upon us, slap a little more paint apps on, and it should look the part, provided our cheap ass factories don't fuck up, oh we're SHARING the same as the americans, eh no one's gonna want to transform these too muchWorst part is this might be all we get until the 20th anniversary, and even then it'll just be more current movie designs like shellformimus prime, be god damn amazed when has-tak decides to take on that beast like the 3p's are doing.
This is why I'm more inclined to stick to retooled versions of previously released western figures, sometimes they fix existing "problems", of course can't win them all
