Masterpiece Transformer

>Roughly a foot tall
>Some plating(maybe?), minimal paint apps, both plating and paint flakes off easily
>Solid hunk of plastic with a tiny bit of diecast to help with weight distribution
>Fingers may or may not be articulated
>Decent articulation, but not great, parts are either too tight or loose due to bad QC or engineering
>Maybe like 30-40 pieces, hard to tell since pre-assembled
I just don't understand how Takara can charge $200 for an Optimus. It makes no fucking sense. These toys are not even close to being worth that much.
