>>6164731Actually my supplier explained it to me that Chinese still held a lot of the molds or stuff used to make the toys, so when they were making MP01 and MP10, they decided that if they wanted to make money with great toys while making good use of not being subject to infringement laws, they'd do what Hasbro failed in the AoE line, which is to maximize and realize its (the figures) potential. With Evasion, they fixed his back in both robot and truck mode, fixed the wheels for screen accuracy, added a shitton of weapons and an extra face all the while putting some diecast on some parts and rubber tires. For Masterpiece Prime, theyfixed some issues of the original figure making him a big hit on the KO market.
I still see them being sold well in our local toy conventions while I chuckle at the first masterpiece Megatron getting cobwebs and box damage on some of the stalls.
