>>11420073I really misspoke in this post saying “he came out of the box like this” considering I got him secondhand. Also I just went back and looked at my very first photos of the figure and realized these marks have been there the entire time despite me being sure they werent. I thought I hamhands it this morning but apparently it was the previous owner. I still think there is a rub danger there going to truck mode. Also, fyi his gun can scrape the paint off his Super mode thumb knuckle which the previous owner also did for me.
>>11420083Still trying to figure out a way to determine the difference between the original release and the reissue without the box
>>11420086I just got my holy grail MPG-09 and in some ways I like Armada Op better. I see a lot of similarities in them that I never realized before which is interesting. Armada Op is a better value. By today’s standards he was underpriced. I think it was a love letter to or from Warden. Also he’s probably more fun to play with because I have no concerns about breaking him. If Powermaster Prime wasnt my all time #1 favorite character I think Armada Op might just be straight up better overall, pound for pound.
